aldie 22 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'll say this, every 6z run is a real eye opener, my bold call is this....NWS does NOT pull the trigger on WSW for most for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovechkin Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The ultimate Deb Downer prediction for DCA for this storm.... we blow by the forecasted high of 35 and hit 39 or 40. Clouds roll in. Prevents radiational cooling. Despite the airmass we still have to watch the turtle like speed of the temp drop while dews start to rise. Precip starts as snow with marginal temps, maybe whitens the grass a bit cools everything down. The warm nose then suddenly appears and changes things to Sleet/FZR. DCA reports 0.6 of a few flakes and pellets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This is like when models show a snowstorm then lose it only to bring it back slowly....models showed a rainstorm several days ago....lost it and is now bringing it back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Considering this was rain a few days ago, I’ll take my sleet storm and be happy. Too much doom and gloom up in here. No wonder why tracking storms just isn’t fun anymore. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 8 hours ago, Deck Pic said: 19 now. Windy and cloudy so will only get down to 13. This has been a cold Feb here...about -3....But we havent really seen any super cold. It's just been persistent highs of upper 20s to mid 30s, and lows in the low 20s. And Cloudy 80-90% of the time. My lowest temp since I got here is 13. And I was only in the teens one other night. And my low max is 26. I have a shot at single digits this weekend. But only for a night or two. 1 hour ago, WinterWxLuvr said: You’ll find that it’s cloudy out here most of the time in winter. It’s weird. You often can see the edge of the cloud deck to the south and east and it will just sit there all day. Y'all live in as-close-to-heaven in VA/WV area as you can get. After numerous brewery crawls along Rt. 7 between Leesburg/Winchester over the years, we briefly considered an eventual retirement move to Winchester area, but I can't take the cold like I used to...which sucks, because I've always preferred to be in the mountains. We'll likely head south to one of the Carolinas in a few years (where, apparently, our snow chances are better anyhow), but I've fallen in love with the location of DeckPic's rental after seeing his recent pics, and want to take some weekend trips to that corner of WV before we leave for good.

WxUSAF Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I can’t decide which is worse: 10:1 snow maps that include sleet or snow depth maps that must be based on measuring on top of your running car’s hood. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all came into this winter expecting a crappy Nina mucking everything up, yet we’ve seen a lot of snow falling. I’m looking forward to this one because it’s the first one with cold temperatures. I don’t care what covers the roads, as long as it’s frozen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
