dukeblue219 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Does anyone know what typical sleet to QPF ratios are? Around 3:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I don't think I've ever seen a gradient that tight before..... looks like one of those Arctic fronts from the Plains or midwest. 60s on Sunday would be nuts too. It's nice when we don't have to wait for it to cross the mtns. Sweet sweet maps. NAM MOS up to 61 DCA and 62 IAD on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Pretty big differences between the NAM and GFS. The GFS is holding back the energy for the second wave. The NAM is keying on the first wave. Hence the GFS is colder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 GFS and NAM are only like a 15 degree difference at 00z MON... GFS has DCA at 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yeah, GFS is colder (which is a peculiar role reversal) than the NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 DCA snow sounding by 10z... looks like GFS nudged a bit south... focusing most QPF toward C VA through 60 09z has +0.7 layer at 800... rest below 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Another solid run in the books. High 5. I'll take it. GFS probably a bit too far...s/e bias thingy? Eh, either way, it gives us some nice pad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Another solid run in the books. Def. DCA should be snow by 10z on the soundings.... temps falls through the 20s into the 10s before the snow ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jviper Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 sorry guys I'm a rookie, why is it I have the gut feeling that this could be a major ice storm for dca?I think it's the models or something. Still wanna hear what Wes thinks.Suggest you get you salt and fix the blade on your truck. Top off your Dexacool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Channel 5 quite bullish. DC metro 4-6, 6-12 NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Big run. 0.6" falls through 12z. Another 0.5-0.6 falls after that. 6-7" on the GFS verbatim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 High 5. I'll take it. GFS probably a bit too far...s/e bias thingy? Eh, either way, it gives us some nice pad Just let the thermals verify. How often does the n extent end up being more broad than the models? Like 98% of the time? South trend seems to be stopped. Man we are in a good spot for this one.

yoda Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Big run. 0.6" falls through 12z. Another 0.5-0.6 falls after that. 5-7" on the GFS verbatim? Probably... might be able to add 0.1 to that snow total IMHO as just before 12z DCA is snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Been interesting to watch the evolution of this thing the last few days. Wouldn't shock me to see the jackpot end up in the same place it has been all year the way this is looking. You know, mapgirl's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
