SLPressure Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Apologies in advance for my spot on banter. This storm sucks for DC and south. Hey. I'm south, so it sucks. Good luck to the NW burbs and northern MD. Hope you all get dumped on at the height of the storm. This is one heavy qpf storm. Nice white rain for the rest of us. Will the 00z Euro make a liar of me? Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm ok with rain and heavy snow for a brief moment at the end. I have both feet off the rug, so anything is bonus. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsukev Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Although the SREF's are typically high, I feel as though they have gotten the generality of the snowfall location in the last few storms pretty well. Really happy to see that DCA and IAD are both upwards of 6-7 inches on the plumes and a lot of members are even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 All hail the wunderground! A mix of wintry precipitation in the morning. Then periods of snow expected in the afternoon. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Snow and ice accumulating 5 to 8 inches. EDIT: this is for 20007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There was some discussion earlier today about the fall line http://www.virginiaplaces.org/regions/fallshape.html I am about 5 miles west of the fall line. However, that will do me no good in Monday's storm. I will still see a great deal of liquid. Now Leesburg, that is a far different matter. They are well west of the fall line and they got 550 feet of elevation as well. I've seen that region. Rt 7 and also Rt 9, major elevation rises especially where Rt 7 hits Rt 9 - they are going to get absolutely annihilated by Monday's storm. They will probably see no rain at all - all snow and lots of it. Rt 7 where there is this bridge that I refer to as the Skyway Bridge, it connects to a part of Rt 7 that I called West Rt 7, that particular stretch has a LOT of rise in elevation. You pass under three bridges then comes a major rise in elevation as you approach Rt 9. Anyone who travels in those parts or who resides there knows exactly what I am describing. Monday that entire area is going to be a winter wonderland. We are talking hideous amounts of rain determined by only a few crucial degrees of temperature and two factors that often determine the winners in these meteorological contests: Elevation, and How far west you reside from the dreaded fall line. North placement helps too. You got elevation plus western and north placement, you are going to receive a fortune in heavy snow many times in these setups.

nj2va Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'd be pretty happy with a thump of heavy snow for a few hours, even if it just accumulates an inch+. It'll be pretty on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peribonca Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It's going to be a very dynamic situation and with heavy rates the column may cool enough even in town for things to switch from white rain to wet snow... accumulations are a whole other story in town though.

North Balti Zen Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I will be unhappy with the white rain (or regular cold rain). No use pretending I wouldn't be. Hoping for a surprise, expecting to be unhappy at my locale. Inside the beltway, whether it be Balt or DC is no good in these set-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 SREFs are definitely wet but the surface line never gets to DC. 850s fall below 0 somewhere between 10a and 1p. I'm interested to see the surface temps on the plumes when they come out in a few. Maybe a few of the over amped members are skewing the surface temps?

CAPE Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Even though the forecast is for 2-4 here, I think it will be more like an inch or 2. But I am kinda sitting this one out. I honestly don't care if I get snow or not. I got mine Tuesday night with 5 inches of sparkling fluff. SN+ at 12 degrees was awesome, and I wasn't expecting it. I am just having fun tracking the Monday storm and hoping the Immediate DC area somehow gets pasted. You guys are so overdue and this storm could do it with the intense lift that should be passing near or over DC area. I just got a feeling...

If this was before 3/6 and 12/10 everyone would be calling for 2-4 or 3-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
