I strongly believe that our best upper level pattern is yet to come. Now whether or not that = snow...heh...beats me. there's no way the eastern shore outperforms us in snow this year...unless they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been alot of talk about the SSW and also alot of conflicting opinions on what effects (if any) it may have on our sensible weather. While I have my concerns that winter may come to an end earlier then most of us want to see I am not so sure the models have a good handle on the current pattern or where it might be going later in the month and as we head into March regardless of their agreement with each other. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 You'd think something would break for us at some point. DC only does below 4 inches winters on average once every 11 years. We'll go 2 years in a row here. The law averages screams for something to go in our favor, right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I was very worried about a February shutout even during those great gefs weenie runs. Now Id be shocked if we didn't get a shutout. My definition of shutout is 0 to 2 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know better than to take any ens snow mean seriously at range, especially with an advertised pattern that pretty clearly favored tracks to our NW.

dallen7908 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Specifically, the EPS mean snow fall for DC and north of DC at the MD/PA border over the next 5/10/15 days are 0/T/0.5". Healthy amounts of snow can be seen across the northwestern 2/3 of PA. The EPS probability of 1" of snow over the next 5/10/15 days is 0/10/20% at DC and 0/14/28% at the MD/PA border due north of DC. Odds for at least 6" of snow are 0/0/0 for DC and 0/0/2% for the MD/PA border. The CMC, GFS, and Euro operational models also show no snow for DC over the next 10 days. The CPC 8 to 14 day outlook calls for above normal temperatures and precipitation. On the positive side, they list their confidence as below normal.

clskinsfan Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If winter is over this will be the worst 2 year stretch at KOKV in it's history. So that gives you an idea of how bad the past 2 years have been as far as snowfall goes. I went and looked at the data and I couldnt find back to back years with under 10 inches. Wea re on pace to have back to back years with under 5 inches. KOKV has had bad years before. But never a 2 year stretch like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knows how bad its been I think it's probably more likely that your wife knows how bad you've been. Bad winters don't get me too worked up anymore. Being a kid in the 70's really stunk for snow until the 79 Blizzard. And that was touted as a once in a lifetime snow for the area which was exciting and disappointing at the same time. I was honestly worried that I'd never see another big snow like that again in my life. Bad winters are par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never bought into the weenie runs What I am saying is there were never any weenie runs on the GEFS to buy into. The big snow means that showed up were not supported by the general 500 mb pattern.

87storms Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 this is turning into a colder version of last winter, but similar anemic snow totals. bad winters happen here, but it's a little concerning to get them back to back twice in a decade. you can view this link and see that winters are generally worse now minus the biggies: http://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/dcasnow.pdf that is until we get a snowstorm later this month and then i might delete this post.
