PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Woke up to heavy rain that washed the sleet away. What a turd. At least its fixed the drought (1.62" total QPF and counting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerLowerDE Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 We needed this rain badly and I am thankful that we got it. When I saw the radar yesterday evening showing a warm river of rain being pulled directly out of the gulf I knew that a lot of people were going to be disappointed with their "snowstorm." Onto Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto Spring. Your January storm was pretty awesome. We road tripped down to OC for that one. Good times. If anyone down that way gets a look at the beaches, I would be interested in hearing how they are doing regarding erosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Back end fun? I've never seen LWX split Calvert for a WWA but they just did, with my area being right around the cutoff. I can't imagine 1-2" being able to stick at this point though.

If anyone down that way gets a look at the beaches, I would be interested in hearing how they are doing regarding erosion. That one storm made this wretched winter bearable. Who would have thunk it- the best pure snow event of the season for our region occurred at the beaches. Cold dry powder with drifting too. I had 2 great days at Rehoboth, then came home to 6" on the ground and that stuck around for 3 more days. I got a nice snow hike in at Tuckahoe. Good 5 day stretch of winter, and in early January to boot. But that was all she wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Another 20-30 miles NW and I am in the bullseye I sincerely hope SBY and the beaches get 6"+. I had such a great time at Rehoboth for that cold powder bomb in early Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlwx Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 From AKQ: (snip) .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/... Attention turns to the srn stream system currently over SE TX for tonight through Sat. The operational models have trended toward a (slightly) more amplified system (the past 24 hours)...allowing more pcpn to be thrown back to the NW.RA likely will be the dominant ptype in ern/SE VA and NENC...while SN is favor far NW. In between...the battle line will be drawn (basically centered along a line from SBY-RIC-AVC). The more amplified the system...the more potential for warming (in the mid levels)...though w/ marginal thermal profile/cold air in place...more QPF doesn`t necessarily mean more SN accum. There are differences in thickness/thermal profiles from model to model...and since there has been no cold air up until now...any SN accums difficult to determine...and P-rate/SN-ratelikely to determine whether there is any impact on roads. The arrival of the upper level system on Sat may be enough to aid in cooling the column (w/ better UVM)...and bring a higher potential for SN across the FA (esp from central VA to interior lower SE MD). For now...will be holding off on any winter headlines (after coordination w/ nearby offices). Also...will have a rather wide zone of mix RA/SN centered along a line from AVC-PTB/RIC-XSA-SBY from tonight into Sat. Forecast SN accums 1-4 inches over the piedmont in VA to far interior lower SE MD...up to 1 inch to an EMV-PHF-OXB line. RA may mix w/ or end as little SN near the coast in ern/SE VA and over NE NC as pcpn diminishes (W-E) Sat afternoon through Sat evening. Cold but dry Sun w/ highs around 40F. (Lows Sat night m-u20s inland...l30s right at the coast in SE VA-NE NC). (snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreAce33 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Keep in mind, re: that GFS map, it's probably struggling with temps/p-type to produce those amounts in the Salisbury/Delmar area. The QPF supports that kind of accumulation if p-types weren't a concern and the ground wasn't warm. I think the calls for 2-5" I'm seeing scattered around by the regional mets seem pretty good. @snowdude, what's your call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
