Scraff Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Since we are in banter--and I'm at happy hour at the Columbia Alehouse--has anyone completed their beer shopping? Aside from how much IMBY, this is the second most important question yet! And if yes...what's your blizzard go to beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Because DC is never the bullseye it almost seems like it is just too difficult to think that the gfs could be correct...but dang how many runs on a row has DC been one of the highest totals...i think it is real and the news guys can talk about mixing all they want...no model is showing it as far as I can tell.

mattie g Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Lol. Have a safe trip back. Wouldn't it be funny since you rooted for the Euro to skunk us, if your plane had mechanical issues and you got stuck in LA. Hey now...I was just kidding about that.

MacintoshPro Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is this at all realistic? The 2 foot contour is enormous Not really realistic. look at total precipitation and then multiply that by 10. thats usually the safe bet for how much snow the run is showing.

ravensrule Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Even Channel 11 in Baltimore which is very conservative normally is going 18-24" in Baltimore and 12-18" north and NE of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Threat Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Didn't want to ask this in the storm thread but, looking at the 18z GFS, did RIC just get a taste of the jackpot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 What's been completely fascinating about the QPF modeling of this storm is: While there is still is quite a bit of disagreement between the models on the northern edge, DCA has been unanimously 2"+ liquid equivalent for model suite after model suite. It doesn't matter whether the shield shifts northwest or southeast, is skinny (RGEM/GGEM today) or expansive-- DCA just keeps on hitting 2".

WeSuck Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not really realistic. look at total precipitation and then multiply that by 10. thats usually the safe bet for how much snow the run is showing.

Windman18 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Didn't want to ask this in the storm thread but, looking at the 18z GFS, did RIC just get a taste of the jackpot? Appears to be near the southern edge of the heaviest snow. Don't know how much qpf they are given, but I would think they see 12-18, more west and north of the city.
