I don’t care if March ‘93 is coming. Don’t start a thread outside of 36 hours. Historically we’ve stated most threads 2-3 days before an event. I get that models have not been able to pinpoint exact locations of heaviest precip but when you have 2 events in 4 days it makes threads easier to read.

EHoffman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Anyone else feel like this winter has been 10000x worse than last winter? I mean yeah last winter sucked, but we never really had a legit threat to track. This year it's been heartbreak after heartbreak. I'm kinda ready for spring guys...

We have to try something. Not one event has trended better. Let’s try a different method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Check out this cold smoke forecast for Dallas. They have forecast highs of 32 or below 5 of the next 7 days. DCA won't have one 32 or below max this entire winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historic amounts were predicted and in Vienna/Tysons we got six inches . . and then drizzle. Edit: I seem to remember predictions that it might equal or surpass 2/11/83.

adelphi_sky Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just spitballing here. But Would any of you mets like to do a zoom session, I know, I'm sick of zoom too, on the 101 of models. Then perhaps another session on the Mid-Atlantic climo? I admit, I'm a longtime lurker/poster, but have gotten lazy and just look at the pretty pictures you guys post. I'm a visual person. But I guess it would help to understand what I'm looking at to either discount what the model is saying or to trust it. Broadstrokes are fine. Maybe 30 minutes or so. Edit, then perhaps we can post the session on the site for reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had suggested somebody making a YouTube video or something, lol It's a bit difficult to find this stuff just by searching the internet. I know I'm a person who needs to see the pictures (and in motion, in some cases) so it can make sense how things move and interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexD1990 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Sorry to hear on the snow - hoping some rates and cold air still work in overnight for you all. This whole region is always on such a knife's edge with snowfall...I'm hearing wave 2 is trending north...that would be nice.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memphis actually can get 6+ inches from that. I lived there from 1996 - 2009. It was EXCEEDINGLY hard to get real snow into Memphis. They were forever missing it in all directions but just a county or two. A foot of snow there with cold temps would be crippling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Calvert for that and we got 5 or so inches of wet snow followed by driving rain and a spike to 52 degrees. Watching news coverage from N&W of the city was heart breaking. It played a role in me picking NW suburbs when I locked into a long-term job based in DC. I just didn't go quite far enough NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
