BristowWx Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Just heard some great news. Bastardi is holding firm that 4" makes it all the way down to DC Monday. [/quote Why? I mean what meteorological basis has he given? He can't just say that without some analysis however flawed it might be..just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm delighted that I get to enjoy 60 degrees on Sunday. We're going to have an early Spring while SNE gets backdoored by 33 and drizzle into late September lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone remember 2008/09? I think that's the year I'm thinking about. We hardly had any snow that entire winter. Then on the last day of February it snowed all night. By the next morning. I had 9" of beautiful wet snow. Anyway, good to see the long range trend waking back up. Seems a little more laid back around here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like what Noquester was supposed to have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I been reading about all the really old storms now lol I bet these were all Miller B's that screwed us. The 12Z Euro on 2/26/1717 would've probably shown us getting clobbered though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Snow_of_1717 Now what kind of super blocking do we need to get to have DC and Annapolis get 3 feet and Philly north get nothing but flurries? I bet your eardrums would burst from the high pressure if you were in Greenland during this storm lol http://www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/events/wjsnow1772.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably all tobacco fields. Hard to really tell how much snow fell if there's no info around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 forget forecast busts about snow, i'd like to see forecasting offices do a better job at predicting sun vs clouds the next day. that is one area that needs improvement in this area. i thought today was supposed to be sunny, but it's not. it's cloudy. though i will say this, after just looking at CWG's forecast, they did a good job mentioning the possibility of it being overcast today.

Hard to really tell how much snow fell if there's no info around. ummm... the post was meant to be a joke lol. But anyway, I do think Annapolis and St. Mary's City were at least established by then, and there doesn't seem to be any reports there, so... But its fun to speculate. I bet many winters of the 1600's and 1700's were way colder and/or snowier here than anything we've ever seen since the official record keeping began. Maunder Minimum and all that...

dailylurker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I wonder what the totals are for a 100 year storm (probably 1922). A 500 year storm and a 1000 year storm would be for the DC area. I wonder what the limit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I thought today was supposed to be in the 40's. Only hit my avg. high of 38. Nws calling for 51 tomorrow. I doubt that verifies bit we'll see . The warm ups have not lived up this year..at least here anyway. 54F here today. No problems verifying warmth here, only cold.

ACFD FIREMAN Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just landed in Boston. It was a last minute decision to come up. My wife told me I "needed" to go. The amount of snow on the ground is reminiscent of 5 years ago in DC. Not sure where their gonna put whats coming. Light snow falling now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not necessarily for Baltimore /DC but Sandy and 93 superstorm have to be considered 100 or even 500 year storms. Sandy had record flooding and record October snow amounts ..30" at deep creek. And 93..well...arguably no storm as dynamic.I agree. But I'm thinking about local snow events. The big one's. If I had to guess. I would say 50" for a 1000 year storm and 30"+ for a 500 year storm. 100 year storm 25-30". And yes, I would love to live through a 1000 year storm.

We had nice blizzard conditions for a while before the change to rain around sunset. I did drive up here the next day. That bad boy had 3" of sleet on top. If the coastal would of stayed snow. That could of been a 3'+ event IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be in the Apps for that storm is a memory I'll never forget. I hate that I didn't get experience PD II Was the windiest snowstorm I've seen in my lifetime here.... by a long shot. I work at Xerium in Middletown; I'm sure you've driven past it on I-81 a hundred times. The ENE wind scoured the ground on the front of the building (facing 81) to the bare grass and drifted the snow to the roof line. All the windows and the entrance doors on that side of the building were buried under 8 feet of snow (above the tops of said doors and windows. I wish I had pictures of that; it was an incredible sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Dynamic storms with thundersnow and wind are more thrilling to me than just about anything else... and it seems like March 1993 had it all. I was a toddler at the time so I have no memory of it, but to see something like that again would be meteorologically amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
