WinterWxLuvr Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 There are several of us that have been doing map analysis right up until the very end. Taking time out to post to the forum because we enjoy the science and love to add information that may help others. It is not wrong to express an opinion but your initial ones make it seem as though our posts are/have been a waste of time and don't mean anything. Nobody likes to hear that and it's not too constructive. I agree that meteorology is science, but I'm not sure how much of what goes on here in this forum qualifies, and if it does, it's minimal. The science has been done by the models. Mostly we are just looking at them and commenting on it. Euro ain't exactly research science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanatos_I_Am Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Question, as someone who has only lived in the MidAtlantic for less than a year, is it common around here for models to just get worse and worse leading up to the storm? I mean my god a few days ago this forum was gitty with "King euro" predicting 6-10" and then it all fell apart, on queue. Is this just something to expect here in DC? I myself, having lived in the UP Michigan, cannot believe how often DC gets screwed! Models weren't much help up there, so this really is my first year heavily looking at them. Thus making me realize that it's never as good as it seems around here, winter wise. Maybe it's just the fact that I've gone from 230" a year on avg to a less than a quarter of that and I'm just having withdrawals. Who knows.

Kay Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 By the way, I'm addicted to this Eagle cam. Baby two! http://dceaglecam.eagles.org So am I. Watched a couple feedings today on full screen. So awesome. Fine with me to watch some snow fall yesterday. I got a slushy dusting. If that exists. A slushting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to it. You averaged 230" a year in the UP, and we average about 1/2 that in digital snow, and about 1/5 of that actually falls.... and 1/2 of that doesn't stick.

For a couple reasons. Our precipitation is synoptically driven. Orographics or lake/ocean effect don't exist. Well, orographics do influence our storms but we're on the wrong side so it hurts instead of helps. And our snowstorms are usually works in progress or developing nearby. We get a lot of northern stream vorts here and they basically develop overhead most of time. Models have a much easier time resolving mature storms than potential ones. The recent threats we've had have also been borderline and complicated. That's pretty common here too. And NWP at 3+ day leads will always struggle with that. The short story of my long post is that you now live in a area where jumps and swings while closing are common. You'll get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 You do kind of complain a lot lol. Whatever.. When I first started lurking here I was surprised how many people were also into thunderstorms. I'm year round as well. I love all storms I love a rousing summery storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I doubt that will require a revision to the map contours mine will require a contour change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. The set ups here are so complicated! In the UP if you had a cold NW wind, open water, and a warm lake, it would snow for days. Oh well I guess my days of seeing a couple of feet of snow a week are over. Hello DC boom or bust winters!

Ralph Wiggum Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 lol CapsThats why its tough being the top team in the league. Everyone plays their A-game against you. The Caps are in the crosshairs and all the pressure is on them. Its like the models putting you in the snow bullseye 5 days out....its nice seeing it on paper/screen but there is always that uneasy feeling that it wont last. I like the Caps too....several of my favorite players on the team. Just keep your fingers crossed they dont get cold or squeeze their sticks too tight at the worst time possible.

Bob Chill Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Nice run by the Terps. Needed that. Awesome to see them in the sweet 16 after 13 years. But if they have a first half like they did tonight against Kansas it's lights out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 There was a lot of pressure on the Terps to reach the sweet 16. They fought through it. Hopefully they can play loose against Kansas. Tonight's win makes it a respectable season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos_I_Am Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Can't lie I am so jealous of those lucky ducklings in lower Wisconsin. Could be looking at 2 ft+ there.
