WinterWxLuvr Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So for tomorrow, 6-9 hours of occasional flurries. This is not what I signed up for!! So pull the shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'd probably rather have 50 and no snow then continuous cold and 8" or whatever we've had for 3 months. I'd rather have 50 and continuous snow than cold and no snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Sat sys showing the problem of having the sfc low 12,000 miles away. Serious question..... How does the sfc low get away from the upper level support? Does the UL vort spin cause the surface low, and if so, why wouldn't the sfc low always pop underneath the vort? I'm missing some important concept here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the UL vort spin cause the surface low, and if so, why wouldn't the sfc low always pop underneath the vort? I'm missing some important concept here. I think it's where it should be.. the vort is almost always NW of the sfc low unless you have a neg tilt trough given how the low tilts moving upward in the atmosphere.. The problems here are that the vort is pretty elongated/messy in a flow that has no amplification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshfsu123 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Some folks are saying Monday may be looking a bit better now... has GGEM support and Euro (somewhat). We'll see... Moved to DC 3 years ago from Florida and the best snow I have seen was the 4 inch snow we got a few weeks ago. Really want more than that one day.

WEATHER53 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Good fetch from Pacific into Texas. Can't really tell if anything is developing along TX/LA coast but that is the breeding ground for moderate+ snow events for DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
