Mrs.J Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 9 hours ago, vastateofmind said: Same. You made an interesting comment yesterday, though, either in this thread or another...about being willing to trade your snow for tstorms. I couldn't tell if you meant you enjoy the snow more than severe wx, or the reverse...though I suspect you meant the former. You've certainly had your share of severe thunderstorms, including nearby tornado threats, up your way in recent years...at times, I gauge when such storms are going to hit here in NoVA, based on your reports and others from Frederick area. I meant trade snow for storms. Yes certain areas of Frederick have had severe storms and even tornadoes. I am not saying I want that, it is more of I want garden variety storms. I love the roll of thunder. My particular area in Frederick Co though does get split more often than others. I am closer to the Potomac and storms that come across at Point of Rocks seem to split quite often. I have many times seen a storm come into MD and get excited, only to watch it slip just to my N or S. We seem to do better when the storms are pushing down from PA and the MD panhandle than storms coming up from the SW in particular. But I am glad to hear that our reports up here help you. I became a spotter because of the lack of weather coverage we get up here sometimes. Growing up near Toledo, OH we had a very good weather group on the local stations. When I first moved here I was disappointed in the major local news weather reporting. As many times we would get hit with weather and there be no info until the said weather event made it into MoCo and close to Baltimore. I took the spotter class so that I could be a set of eyes on the ground up here and alert people I know. I even one time was called by the NWS in the middle of a particularly violent storm coming down from PA to help them confirm what they were seeing on radar so they could warn the storm. That was my proud weather moment. I am not the most knowledgeable weather person when it comes to maps and outlooks. My dyslexia holds me back on that front. But I love being an observer and spotter. Dyslexics do better visually anyways. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 With apologies to sounding banter-ish... Current temp forecast for the greater beltway region have temperatures climbing above freezing Sunday into Sunday night and Monday. With all the potential sleet and ice laying around, along with the lack of any advection whatsoever at the surface, and all of that latent cooling due to melting of ice... how on Earth are temperatures going to get above freezing during this time, at least for many areas away from the city? In-situ CAD is a real thing; we've observed it on countless occasions, and yet the guidance (once again) suggests surface temperatures will climb above freezing sooner than later. Falling for that scenario would be like believing that Lucy will not pull the football away this time around when Charlie Brown tries to kick it. Someone take me off the ledge at convince me that the Sunday night to Monday wave isn't additional light freezing rain or drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this keeps up I'm going to just go ahead and plant some palmetto trees in my yard. If we can't have winter, might as well pretend to be tropical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past two years, leaving aside the 70-degree days in January and February, 70's started showing up at DCA between March 7 and 14. So 3-4 weeks from now. In 2017, DC hit 80 on March 1. The year before upper 70's by March 8. Won't be long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't even hazard a guess. I don't know what everyone's expectations are. If it isn't 3 feet of snow its a disaster. Or if its 28 and rain its a different kind of disaster. Or maybe it will be 50 and rain and that's good for later, only it might be bad for later. And then Chuck wanders into the thread and types words. Its Schoedinger's week of weather. Or not.

ErinInTheSky Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just curious - when did the NAM suddenly become Mr No? This season the NAM has been all about dashing hopes, and it's for the most part been right. Lately it feels like the NAM and the Euro have switched places lol, with the Euro giving us these mega events 36 hours out and the NAM saying "naaa" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Conditions are very unusual for us here in south central Texas. What Mid Atlantic folks would call routine weather, is really freezing our Texan arses off down here LMAO! This is the 2nd day in a row of near 30 temps with deep clouds and north winds gusting to 25 sending wind chills down into the teens! Highs are now in excess of 30 degrees below normal. Our water lines froze solid - no water beginning this morning. The Arctic regime is showing us no mercy at all lol. We are not really prepared for this down here lol. I have gotten used to our warmer climate down here, I actually think 88/67 weather is comfortable lol. In February! I am being forced to haul water from our neighbors three doors down! LOL! Kind of like back in the 1800s! Water is H-E-A-V-Y stuff! You dont see ice on trees very often here! Its been on trees and other objects for two days running, even in the daytime! Its surreal as heck! I keep on having to ask myself am I in south central Texas, or am I back in Northern Virginia? Overnight, MORE freezing drizzle is expected, and some tomorrow. Now, everything has had a couple days to freeze down. Now we are approaching surface frigidization criteria on the ground - and any drizzle that falls WILL freeze on contact, EVERYWHERE! The sun angle isnt helping us one little bit! I have been laughing at my relatives up north in Wisconsin, boy did he laugh at me this morning! As if that wasnt challenging enough for us - Sunday afternoon we are going to get treated to another Arctic front, this one will drop our temps from near 30 on Sunday afternoon, into the teens, and bring freezing rain which is forecast to transition from ZR, to sleet, to snow. The ground is sure cold enough lol. Monday is forecast to be extremely cold for this part of the world, highs struggling to hit 20 degrees and lows which could fall to zero. Its going to get VERY VERY cold here, and we really dont have the infrastructure for it lol. Add the winds, and we might have to contend with -10 wind chills. Tuesday night, it might be a bit milder, but not mild enough to save us from yet another freezing rain event lol. I think this winter may be the South Central Texas' version of 2013-14 lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I hope the Mid Atlantic gets a big snow soon. I think that is a distinct possibility. This is a massively frigid airmass. Someone is going to get totally annihilated by snow, and I think its going to be the Mid Atlantic Region. Climatology tends to agree with me, this is Mid February. You guys are going to get destroyed by heavy snow, sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
