H2O Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I am more worried about losing the boundary battle on the more juiced systems next weekend and the day 8-10 system and wasting the moisture on rain after all the cold. Also, it's gonna be annoying when coastal carolina has double DCA's snowfall total on the year and also exceeds BWI's seasonal snowfall total by Wednesday night... There is a long time to go before these modeled storms come to fruition. Since we can't control any of it just sit back and let it all unfold and take whatever comes.

mitchnick Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 meanwhile, if you can believe it, CFS2 went even colder and wetter from yesterday on FEB's forecast! in fact, it can't get any wetter under its categories and is one category away from its coldest category....crazy http://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/wwang/cfsv2fcst/imagesInd3/usT2mMonInd1.gif http://origin.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/wwang/cfsv2fcst/imagesInd3/usPrecMonInd1.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Still hard to believe that the Carolinas will fare that much better than mid Atlantic regardless of the present depiction of the players on the field. I'll keep hope alive only up to today's 12z runs. Unless of course the storm decides to hug the coast a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do they get to see significant snow? Almost never? Let them have it, cause after this, we'll have much more opportunity for snow than they do. Same thing happened in January 2003 when the Outer Banks got a foot of snow while we were high and dry. They probably exceeded DCA's total to date after the storm. Then there was a rainstorm in early Feb 2003... imagine the weenie meltdowns back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 How's the fish storm looking? I hope the Carolinas cash in. I think it would be great to see places that rarely see snow get to enjoy a big storm. Good for them. As for us, I hope we have 4 weeks of winter left. Max it out, but I want it over by then.

Given that you have had like 3 feet of snow up your way in the Cockeysville area this winter, I can see you being more sanguine about it. But thanks for the officiousness.

We discuss things we have no control over. Of course we do but why get mad at it? I'm just trying to keep perspective on all of it. Yes it's been cold, many have seen snow with some getting more than others. You have x2 my totals and if OBX and Norfolk get x2 of me then thats just the way it is. I don't see the rain chances as an end all to winter so far. even 09-10 had a rainer in between all the big snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't say rain over the next 10 days was an end to winter. I did say if it plays out that way it will be disappointing to me given the freezer conditions we have been living in, to end up with rain to end it, instead of being on the snow side of a boundary. If it plays out like that, yes, it will be disappointing. And, yes, 16 inches IMBY so far has been nice. I freely admit to, like a junkie, wanting more.

Not quite, we do well, but it ain't Mt. Parkton. You're had two significant storms this month (one of which I missed) and you're pretty close to reaching climo with 16" to date. Why does DCA matter to you? I doubt that anyone in the Carolinas outside the mountains will end up with more snow than you this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but there is a reason many of the places about to get a WSW criteria storm (for us, not just their WSW criteria) average less than 1" a year -- it's not supposed to snow there. As Matt says...it's snow -- all I care about is my backyard. Not going to be pretend to be happy that some place that averages 0.8" a year is about to get hit while we remain high and dry.

I doubt that anyone in the Carolinas outside the mountains will end up with more snow than you this winter. Weirdly, I root for DCA because I root for Matt, and H20 and Ian and Wes and others to do just as well as I am. And I want to do even better up my way, it's just how I am. So, yeah, a juicy southern system that dumps snow down in the coastal Carolina area and misses us is annoying to me. The clipper-on-steroids or whatever that was last week was an awesome surprise and a fun event, but I happen to really enjoy the moisture laden southern storms that dump qpf in the form of snow over us. The one last week was still moisture starved, but saved by ratios. It is what it is. This should all be in banter. I have confessed to being a snow dick over there.

I doubt that anyone in the Carolinas outside the mountains will end up with more snow than you this winter. its been a terrible year for snow here in the wnc mtns. After this storm Wilmington will have more snow than most mtns locations. It does not matter if your at 6000' or 3000' the snow is well below climo. And this is after a year with over 100" of rain and its been well below average since November 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
