gymengineer Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 True but LWX is calling for "rain and freezing rain" for DC and the surrounding area. Doubt much freezes in the city. Uhm, this thread has had the city doubts covered long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yes. Areas well N/W were expecting sleet...especially up in PA. Not near us east of 95. I thought it was talked about/expected out West and Northern Counties not around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Was anyone even expecting sleet in and around BWI? not that I'm aware of. I'm not really sure what the point is. LWX is factoring in a touch of sleet for Baltimore City, which is 10 miles north of BWI. With precipitation just barely freezing at IAD and BWI, it doesn't bode well for any over-performing frozen precipitation in the north and west suburbs. The bust potential is there with overnight warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhode Islander in Balto Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Parkville is the center of the universe. How'd you end up there? Moved to Towson from NE Rhode Island to attend Towson University. Met my husband while living there and we moved to Parkville in 2008. Its a weird little place but I love it. Just like where I grew up (about 5 miles NW of 95, near Providence), I feel like I'm kind of in the middle in this region. We miss out on a lot of the good storms, but don't get totally screwed. I guess I'm just a simple weather lover and don't really complain what happens one way or the other, but I really do love snow. I'll shut up there, since I know no one here wants to hear about the New England winters of my upbringing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a classic case of someone neglecting to read a thread and assuming that everyone is waiting for a one-in-ten-year event happening in downtown DC.
