mdhokie Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 we can't even do sleet right. If the NAM starts showing issues you know the storm is toast this winter. I know we ran ERS off but he was right about thr king this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a couple people felt the need to chime in and that’s when it went doo doo. Randy going all Goodfellas was his was of diffusing the situation. He did make me stuff the ICON in my underwear to hide it from the cops I was half asleep reading the AmWx version of GoodFellas and laughing until it hit me, "This dude thinks Randy really means what he's quoting from GF." Then it became a surreal, downhill-fast ride. I think @North Balti Zen chalked the poster in question up to intentionally dense vs. societal failure? I'm going with the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hoped maybe DC’s climo would maybe make up for some of it, but oof. I’ve learned my lesson again for a new place! Guess I have to move to Canada. But yeah, the dryness is very frustrating. Yeah, not sure you heard, DC climate is Atlanta’s from the 1980’s now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 At least Winchester is cashing in, there was that one run where it seemed like I-95 area might not get hosed but that meant they might lose .1 qpf and I was so worried for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 As much as I’m trying to not get bummed by lack of snow seeing obs after obs of snow is...a bummer. I told myself to enjoy what falls so gotta stick to that. Could be a good idea to go do other stuff for a while. Good luck to those in the same boat! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, you're allowed to be bummed, frustrated, pissed off. I am. It's not like I live in the deep south. I should be able to get a nice snowstorm or two a year. This is just complete infuriating nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Rain here in Eason and 28. I guess it's freezing on elevated surfaces, but its been super light. The drive in was annoying only because of all the folks driving 40 mph on over brined, over salted, wet roads. I was getting sleet drizzle(slizzle?) mixed with snizzle and freezing drizzle when I left my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
