high risk Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 In the thread for last weekend's storm, we had reached the conclusion that the NAM 3km parallel nest precip was being incorrectly plotted on tropical tidbits (values too high). Levi Cowan confirmed the error yesterday, and it has been corrected as of the 00z cycle today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm starting to wonder if my excitement over winter and snow here was a little misguided/misplaced... That said, I actually really love this cold. Beats Louisiana heat any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Its the 20th of Dec and the temps have been perfect for the month. Cold enough to remind you its Winter. Even the warmer days of 40's to low 50's we've had are still pretty good considering where we were the past few Decembers. I have not seen a single flake so far at my house or anywhere I traveled so far this winter but it just feels "better" than the last few, regardless of the lack of snow. I guess it's like being at a strip joint. We are in the room, but not up front with rolled up cash in our hands to spread around. We watch from afar.

PaEasternWX Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 LR nam looks great for snow. Says it be rain according to TT but 850s are below freezing with surface around 35 so unless there is a sneaky warm layer should be snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaEasternWX Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 00z gfs run will be huge. I predict a 384 hour blizzard that buries the east coast under 3 feet of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill and Hoffman and a few others noting that m a y b e things are not quite so dire heading into January, that by second week or so the pattern may have re-shuffled. Also, a few people holding out hope for the chance of something frozen north and west from some of the precip on Christmas Eve (altho that seems like a long shot murmurings, but not completely out of question).

BTRWx Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I used to be one of the biggest snow weenies around, but I learned how to be more realistic with expectations. Let's have some fun with comparing the torch to last year! How high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it clears up for her. Sinus and ear issues are miserable for little kids, and for some adults. Though, in my case, when I get sick, I'm usually worse than a little kid. As proof, I've had a tube in my ear for a year and a half as a result of a cold clogging my ear. It's finally gotten better, but only after having balloon sinuplasty for my always-clogged sinuses. By the way, anyone considering sinus surgery should really look into balloon sinuplasy first. It worked great for me. Easy in-and-out procedure, not nearly as many colds, nor as severe, and no sinus infections. Glad the "kiddo' is feeling better for the holiday.

And very thankful she got sick Sun/Mon vs tomorrow/Friday. She turns four tomorrow and has a holiday party at daycare, then her holiday party at preschool Friday. So, really happy she won't be missing all the fun. Of course, her father and I both have a lot of drainage, sore throats, clogged ears too. Go figure. Glad you were able to get your issues fixed! Will definitely keep that in mind should we need to do any of that in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed it. Had 18" of powder and then it turned to 33F drizzle for about 6 hours at the end. Might have had some sleet in there before the drizzle, don't remember for sure. Got cold the next day. Kids had a great time building forts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixing issues? You got the view from Columbia. Here a bit closer to DC in Rockville, we got ~13.5" in the overnight blitz which turned to sleet right before sunrise. And then the melting started with drizzle and light rain as temps climbed to the upper 30's. With surface temps still above freezing, ~2.5" accumulated even on the roads as the upper level energy swung through after sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was maybe 14" by morning than another 4" with the ULL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
