Maestrobjwa Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Since it seems to be happening this way again, I feel inclined to repost this... (To be sung to the tune Justin Tucker sings on the Royal Farms commercial) Corridor of I-95 Snow north and west Southeast a mess Where the rain-snow line goes no one can see Why can't the models agreeee? And if the storm's suppressed We'll be depressed And snowholes tear our soulllllll!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAsnowlvr82 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Question from an amateur here. Why wouldn't we benefit from dynamic cooling in a situation like this? Is the warm layer during the sleet fest too big to overcome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, I wish I didn't know what I know now. Storms become a chore instead of an experience. I had never looked at a weather model before until 2006. Part of me thinks going down that rabbit hole was a mistake. It's like pandora and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is challenging but potentially more fun. Enjoy the ride. It's all we got. I relaized earlier that regardless if I'm negative or positive what will happen is going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I lived in south jersey during the valentines sleet storm....one of the coolest storms I've seen. It all froze and was just glaciers everywhere. At this point, I would be happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I am starting to think based on the huge media hype of this one it might underperform. I could see precip totals in general being way lower than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real letdowns are when a storm goes poof in close range or all rain. March 2013 was a real disaster. You may have done ok with snow. I got totally screwed. At least this storm will be a significant winter storm. Messy and complicated but the chances of going poof or all rain are pretty much zero at this point.

Only good thing about it is that our miserable melt will be done well before those the one those suckers up in the Poconos, North Jersey, and towards NYC will have to deal with.

But I too am not expecting rain at this point but I might have to eat those words. Jeb will save me and block the rain line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
