BTRWx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Question is if the parallel GFS is coming aboard as well? just to the east of D.C., so I'm not convinced yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 NAM wins again? How 'bout that. well, to be fair, NAM had 3-4" of snow 3 runs ago I think the GGEM wins because it has had this for days to this magnitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 NAM wins again? How 'bout that. well, to be fair, NAM had 3-4" of snow 3 runs ago I think the GGEM wins because it has had this for days to this magnitude maybe we should wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 this seems like one of those events that it would help to have an advanced degree in atmospheric science/meteorology. the whole setup is subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any weenie looking at the radar should/would say huh?,,,DC will see accumulating snow?...sw VA looks to be the source for DC snow...any one care to clarify the situation... Moisture thrown back from the Atlantic? Low level flow from the NE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So the last GFS (and I loved my Atari) says we're a snow town again? Man life is great. And I loved it until I got my Intellevision anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moisture thrown back from the Atlantic? Low level flow from the NE? i think you answered your own questions. i would say it seems like the atlantic will get involved. that's about all i know. that's why i was saying this is when a pro earns their pay. they know more than we do.

Amped Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 GFS folds to the NAM. Wow it finally happened on the atari's 2nd to the last run!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 No doubt, this area is not easy to forecast... It's not a radar extrapolation setup. A weak coastal gets organized and some decent lift on the nw periphery of the "forecasted" circulation gets going. How far nw? Tricky. Radar "should" start looking good in the wee hours. To weenies like us it seems like magic as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
