BaltimoreWxGuy Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This storm has been like a roller coaster with following the model guidance. Not like the big scary type of coaster you might see at King's Dominion or Six Flags, more like the crappy wooden kind that some idiot builds out of plywood and 2x4s in his backyard, basically a wagon on 40 ft. of track with a bunch of rusty nails sticking out of it, but then he charges the neighborhood kids $1.00 to ride on it. They still get on the ride, even though they know how much it sucks, because there's just not much else to do. What was this post all about? Lol...Okie...Ill look for some flakes tonight and like it.

87storms Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yea, even though the ocean could enhance the precip, it could also advect warming westward along coastal areas. NWS Eastern Region has mentioned possibly more sleet and freezing rain mixing in from a recent update I read on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=572774289467407&set=a.259227180822121.60708.143979475680226&type=1 i just don't think the radar looks good down that way. very spotty. but...way early too.

psuhoffman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Lived in B'ham 14 years. When it snowed (and it does so every couple of years) I'd park my car far away from any spot where I could even conceive of anybody sliding into me, and then watch the madness. Think snow drivers in DC are bad, well you have no idea. I could have sold tickets... There is something I will NEVER understand, and that is watching people fly by me on the highway in snow/icy conditions. I am pretty used to driving in snow but still you can tell when you are hitting a speed at which your car is not safe. You can feel the traction starting to go then you SLOW THE **** DOWN. Often I can tell 30mph is the safe speed and yet people are going by me at 50 then later are spun out in a ditch. I will just never understand why so many dont simply slow down to whatever the safe speed is in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think a dusting to an inch will bring everyone snow-joy. We can all get emotional about models and forecasts, but nothing beats watching that snow come down. Even if for a brief moment. That makes it all worth it.

caviman2201 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Dews are brutal... still well below zero for the entire area. There's going to be a lot of virga tonight... that is, if anything even gets overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
