GregD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I heard this year's coffee is amazing. Had my first coffee ('12) at a bottle share last night and it was great. Hopefully you got your hands on some Barleywine too. The coffee is fabulous. Managed to get 3 4-pks of each and have been rationing it since. It's gonna be a long time 'til November 2014.

BTRWx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Now, will most of the area get less or more than their total on 1/26/11? Based on current forecast trends I wouldn't doubt it, but right around there maybe, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 17z GFS is a very nice hit There's a 17z GFS? Thought it was only 0, 12, and 18? Are they doing odd numbers now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well shoot...18z NAM sounding for 18z tomorrow shows a potentially unstable layer near the 600mb level in the snow growth zone. [/quote Boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbj5d Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 every model run since yesterday has trended wetter...when does that trend stop? We've seen this before (albeit not successfully at DCA because of a myriad of issues). I fully expect 0z to tap the breaks, but settle somewhere slightly higher than what we saw at 12z today.

Scraff Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Amen. I may crack open one of my Goose Island Bourbon county stouts Got several years of those cellared.

BTRWx Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Presidents Day 1979? Damn iPhone and fat fingers! Was that also initially a clipper? wow! From what I found, the February 2003 storm mentioned earlier seemed to have tapped Gulf moisture, which doesn't seem like the case this go around.

From what I found, the February 2003 storm mentioned earlier seemed to have tapped Gulf moisture, which doesn't seem like the case this go around. I don't think 79 was a clipper but it did bomb in a way this one is forecasted to do. It's also different in that it came at the end of a really cold period and then it warmed up after. Opposite of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hosj III Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Based on current forecast trends I wouldn't doubt it, but right around there maybe, imo. I think I'll get a hair less imby. If you count the morning snow definitly less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this nice Monthly Weather Review from the early 80's with a quick Google search on the 1979 storm for those interested: http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-0493%281981%29109%3C1542%3ATPDSOF%3E2.0.CO%3B2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueapple Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Close in burbs will probably beat Jan 2011. Looks like no one inside the beltway reported more than 5" http://www.weather.gov/lwx/20110126snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Jan 2011 was a weird storm, even for the big numbers in the area, my memory is I had a few inches in the morning, then a 4-5 hour break, and then about a 3-hour burst of crazy heavy wet snow in the late afternoon. It combined for about 11 inches, but was really only a show for the late afternoon part. And such a heavy wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
