CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 No. Between Balt and DC. Interstate 95 cuts through the eastern part of Howard. He lives just west of 95, I think. Wow he claims he got that much? Looks like a sn/ip mix there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sterling....They might want to wrap up that NAM review. HV NOT MADE APPRCIABLE CHGS TO THE FCST YET. 12Z NAM HAS JUST COME IN...AND WL REVIEW IT NXT. HEADLINE CHGS MAY BE REQD LATER Aren't they all in Seattle for a conference? Sounds like they have an intern running the forecasting desk. What is left to "review"? The NAM and GFS have both been advertising the same thing for several cycles now.

real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Don't you think LWX at least has to consider telling the FEDS - one of our best models shows us getting a lot more snow at rush hour than we are forecasting. You can either believe us, or believe it. Your choice on whether to dismiss 200,000 workers early, but if we are wrong and you don't motorists could be stranded alongside the Beltway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wow he claims he got that much? Looks like a sn/ip mix there. I'm a little north of him, but yes, we're still getting waves of decent precip that's snow in the heavier stuff. His 3" totals seem right, but 10 miles south is a different story.

thesnowsknows Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wow he claims he got that much? Looks like a sn/ip mix there. Radar is misleading. I'm where he is and it's been all snow this morning. It's the elevation I think, we always tend to be sig colder than the cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wes and crew at Cap Weather clearly get it, irrespective of LWX. "Not to sound alarming, but all be aware that the snowfall rates around this evening's commute may be extreme and make travel very hazardous and potentially crippling. Thundersnow is possible with rates in excess of 1 to 2 inches per hour." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowguy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sterling did a very good job last season, but they have dropped the ball several times this season. I know the December storm was a tough one to forecast, but issuing a WWA for areas that are being projected by several different models to receive in excess of 10", is insane.

WxUSAF Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Amazing, just stunning. That is 5"/hr for WxUSAF.

It's the elevation I think, we always tend to be sig colder than the cities. Aboutr 2.5" snow on the east side of Columbia, but we did have sleet/pellets and some rain mixing in during the 7-8am timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
