We get similar and are rewarded with a kind of chilly, breezy Sunday with highs in the 40s. Chicago gets a bunch of record highs and they are rewarded with a rainstorm followed by flurries. I guess we're not alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I thought about saying something in the long range thread, but I can't afford a weenie suicide mental breakdown. The medium range is still February anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife would kill me if I left her home with the 2 year old while going to chase a snowstorm. And I'm not taking little miss crazypants on a plane voluntarily. 1 hour ago, Fozz said: Chicago gets a bunch of record highs and they are rewarded with a rainstorm followed by flurries.

Plenty of good pattern to track then too. I'll always track a cold front that brings in continental air. 60 degree dews in summer = snowstorm in winter.

nw baltimore wx Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I would have thought that the 12z gfs would have some of the lemmings trying to crawl their way back up the cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Just so people don't think the problem is just an east coast cyclogenesis thing, the 18z NAM and the 18z GFS differ by 20"+ in snowfall in some areas of MN and SD. It is about 30 hours from onset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Has anyone investigated whether this will be the largest positive temp departure from normal for any winter month ever recorded in DC? Seems like it's been in the 70s more than the 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, I'm entranced by the first one with the high-rises blocking what is likely very light flow. Plus, views of Target Field (Twins) and Target Center (Wolves) in the clearing. The Vikings stadium is off to the left in that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people are complaining that winter weather advisories are not being posted in areas of Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
