Kmlwx Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Starting your post with "Banter:" in the main thread will 100% make me wonder if you've even looked in the thread listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 But to be honest - I think for most people who do it - it's almost their way of saying "If I put 'Banter' in my post I can break the rule!" When I start my career as a carjacker I'm going to scream CARJACKING whenever I steal one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Anyone know when the Blacksburg Radar will be fixed. The angle of our snow is coming from that area, it’s annoying as f that it’s down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's many annoyances on this here weather forum - but posting banter and then straight up labeling it as such in the main thread defeats the purposes of having a banter thread. At least this time people agree on what a frame shows.

Every other event this season has not really performed as expected or forecasted. 3 would be a meh event in my eyes other might disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty good about getting the 88Ds back up in a timely manner. They got the LWX radar back up a few days ahead of schedule when the bullgear failed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly taking the Bob Chill approach this year - so I hope this was not targeted at me. Cover my grass so I can't see the blades and I'm happy. Yes - a HECS is fun - but snow is fun. I've turned into more of a severe guy myself. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ji is right....18z happy hour only happens when the storm looks like shit at 12z. If you already have good model solutions in place, the 18z runs are a wet blanket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66degreesnorth Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Does anyone on here remember/know if DC has even recently had a storm drop 3+ inches of sleet? I vaguely recall a March storm a few years ago that was supposed to be a sleet bomb, but did that fizzle out? I guess I'm wondering what a sleetstorm accumulating at the rate of an inch/hour for 3+ hours would actually look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was supposed to be a big ice storm, but we got a nice thump of 2-3inches of snow, then about 3 inches of sleet, then a glaze of ice. It was like a glacier. Happened at night, so not much to see. I was in a big sleet storm in Georgia in the 80’s, poured sleet, pretty miserable to be out in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what DC got but the Valentines sleet bomb of 2007 was one of the craziest things I've seen with hours of heavy sleet accumulating 4-8 inches in central MD. It was pouring off our roof after the gutter was full and left a 20" deep ridge just outside the garage door. Some places got a period of freezing rain at the end that solidified it so bad that cars were cemented in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
