CAPE Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 54 minutes ago, North Balti Zen said: Can I make a circle around DC/Balt/ up to the Mason-dixon line and assume...not there? Or not anywhere south of there. As of now its an OV/GL/interior NE snow event. Cold comes in behind, which has been the expectation based on the preponderance of guidance. Still a chance the cold comes in sooner with some frozen NW areas, but we know how that usually plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 2016 when it did hit I was worn out from over a week of that shit by the time it got here. This was more fun and less emotionally draining when stuff would pop up 48-72 hours out. I was thinking about that the other day when tracking today's system. Like how I miss the times when we'd wake up to surprise snows, or when something sneaks up on us within a couple of days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Jan. 2022 (or at least the first system that month) was a little like this. Granted, I had just moved here, so maybe I just wasn't paying attention. Either way, it was fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those dates, cold with 0.3". January 2011 dates- KIAD 1.2" January 1992 dates-- cold and dry March 9-10, 1960 dates-- 5.8" at DCA (Bigger storm here to open that month) March 11-12, 1960-- cold and dry at DCA December 11-12, 1958-- cold and a Trace at KDCA March 24-25, 1940-- cold and a Trace in DC January 23-24, 1940-- big storm, 9.5" in DC and cold January 29-31, 1936-- Cold and 0.2" in DC December 28-29, 1935-- Cold and 6.3" of snow in that period. So we know it's cold, but it can give us a decent event based on the event. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change west of 15. I’m holding. Not saying I’m not getting a little nervous. But I have a sneaky suspicion either things line up for a typical Nino run at some point and we hit my forecast or it doesn’t and we don’t get even close. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
