The day before the Veterans Day storm of 1987 it was almost 60. In November snow stuck you get told this every year but the same dumb weenies forget that if it gets cold then snow will stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next day it snowed and stuck. Granted 5000 feet but it was roasting until mid night. The sleet will help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the type of storm that the IAD/DC/BWI corridor tends to do well in. I wouldn't worry. I made that call mainly because this is the party thread, and here you can say whatever the f you want without any logic or rationale to back it up whatsoever.

RevWarReenactor Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'll believe this one when I see it accumulate. Till then, I am skeptical. Somewhere is going to get hammered. But I am not sold on the I-95 late March HECS. Not saying it won't happen, I just can't get sucked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 No one along 95 should expect an HECS so that should take care of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 5 inches in late March in the mid atlantic is a HECS IMO. So I am not using that word in the mid January sense, I am using it in the sense of how late we are in the year to be seeing this.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A nonbombing non-blizzard low on March 20-21 is not going to be HECS. The ratios could be 1:5-6. I expect 8" here, even with 2" qpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Temp has fallen to 52 here after a high of 59, but we are losing the clear skies. I have heard cirrus called ‘mare’s tails’ but I have never seen a better example than this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it isn't in the traditional sense...... But when would that have happened last this late in the year? I imagine its been a very long time. Hence it would be historical.
