NorthHillsWx Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well, models were ALL trending towards significant icing, RAH and Blacksburg were sounding the alarm, multiple model suites were putting out ludicrous ice totals, and the major globals were all in agreement of a major CAD area ice storm.... INSIDE 48 hours. Literally how do you forecast weather this year when everything trends towards agreement essentially to game time, then drops it 12 hours before the event. Models all warmed starting at 12z yesterday but warning were already out. I mean how do you work with that? Hot 850’s, anomalously hot, did this in, imo, as did a precip hole over the main cad region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys north of here can’t score then I’ve got no hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornetsHomer91 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Does anyone know anything About Harrisonburg VA? I’m possibly moving there or Cumberland MD by end of Summer. Ik it won’t be as difficult to see snow there but Scientifically like here We need so much to have an actual snow event. It’s gotta be as simple as hey it’s Cold.... here comes QPF oh hell welp congrats snow! In that area I’d imagine.

In cold periods, snowcover can last for a couple of weeks, and snow on snow is not rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumberland/Deep Creek area would get more than Harrisonburg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gotta be as simple as hey it’s Cold.... here comes QPF oh hell welp congrats snow! In that area I’d imagine. Anyway didn’t know if anyone had and scientific support to it Expand Lived in both cities. Cumberland: Depressed Economy. Drugs are rampant in the city. Not much going on there. Lives on tourism with the Western Maryland RR and the Canal path. ITs a very outdoorsy area. Walmart was the last biggest thing to happen there in 1993. Now they have a Lowe's building supply too. Food is mediocre for choices there. Comfortable summers and winter there. You are in a lower elevation so for LES you will have to drive 8 miles west to Frostburg. LaVale is the commercial area for the region with stores and restaurants. It is scenic with the mountains though. I dont miss living there though minus Frostburg and Garret County. Harrisonburg: A growing area for sure. A major college town with James Madison Univ there. IT has exploded over the last 15 years though. Traffic is becoming an issue on 33 and 81 and 11. Downtown is nice with a variety of shops and restaurants. The major commercial area is along 33, east of the city off I 81. You have plenty of choices there to choose from. Medical is pretty good there with Sentara being the main provider Re: hospitals, etc. Tourism is a major draw there with the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah Natl Park about 30 mins away. Massanutten Resort is a big draw for year round recreation. For big city, DC is about 2 hours to 2.5 hours away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
