cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 After watching all the coverage of today's east coast storm I had to go back and watch some stuff saved on the ol' DVR from GHD 2011. Definitely was fun to watch and realize that the MW is capable of seeing some really big dogs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Death band over DC and Baltimore. I would imagine to the south there is some sleet in those brighter colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is sleet, if you switch over to the CC you can see the difference there as well in the bright banding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That is sleet, if you switch over to the CC you can see the difference there as well in the bright banding That band will probably transition to all snow by the time it reaches DC / Baltimore, with 500mb and 700mb temps cooling down. I wouldn't be suprised to hear +TSSN reports soon either with the intense Omega values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the live coverage, will be interesting to see if it makes it to DC. 30"+ amounts yet to go in eastern WV/N VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be suprised to hear +TSSN reports soon either with the low closing off. Oh yeah. Most definitely, the warm air is staying back near Richmond.

Stebo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So any guesses as to who Mike Trout is on here? http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/weather-geek-mike-trout-joins-jim-cantore-to-report-on-1754703823?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow At least it is nice to know the best player in baseball is a crazy weather nerd like the rest of us.

TugHillMatt Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So now many parts of Texas and Tennessee have seen more storm-related snow than I have. I love lake effect snow and its ability to make up for losses, but it doesn't stand a chance in any sort of thaw. Any chances at a better pattern going into February? Or should we just count our losses and look at next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well with almost 2/3 of met winter in the books, Would you want A big dog storm like "GHDIII" showing up on models? I say pass. For the sole reason it would be a shame to lay down a 12"+ snowpack to torch the next week, a sustained cold pattern in a super Nino just won't happen. A super Nino has to happen every some odd years, 15-20ish years, the best thing we can say is, the misery is almost over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This winter sucks and will continue to suck. We were long overdue for real clunker. If things continue down the road we are on, then this winter will surpass 2012 on the ****ty chart. At least we got it out of the way. Severe season isn't that far and another pleasant summer to follow. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severe season isn't that far and another pleasant summer to follow. Bring it on. November's storm really saved this winter from being the worst. It's really hard for me to say it's the worst when I did see a 12"+ event. We had some real clunkers in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We are extremely overdue for a sucky winter. When every single year is above to way above average snowfall, eventually the piper will be paid. But I cannot say how this winter ranks in terms of clunkers as there is so much to go. Snowfall is not even THAT much below normal to date, and winter is only half over. Snowcover has been pretty chincy, but not unexpected after demolishing snowpack records the last 2 winters.

Just because it was a month before the solstice doesnt mean it shouldnt count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
