  1. Seems like you might've skipped that class. Ever heard of specific heat? The capacity of the ground is about 2.5-3x that of the air right now given how wet the soil is. Yea there's heat transfer but 5 hours of ~35 degree air before precip isn't going to do much. I'm a full time engineer. I eat energy transfer for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  2. Longtime lurker, occasional poster, DC resident, and your mom's fave lover, anything else? The threat might be weak sauce but it won't be because what falls immediately melts.
  3. Oh come on dude. This might be the most consistently disproven notion to ever exist on this forum. As someone who has been here a while you should know that. Let's talk numbers... ground temps were around 40 degrees heading into Sunday where you live. They'll be hovering around freezing for this one. Tell us again how that will have zero impact. If it comes down as advertised on the 3k, it will stick.
  4. Ice pellets and mangled flakes trying to mix in here in NW DC. Closest weather station has the temp down to 34. It was 39 at noon. DCA is still @ 40 lol
  5. aka 'Fatties', 'Parachutes', etc. big clumps of wet snow
  6. DC snowhole will not be denied...
  7. Do we have any clues as to why guidance has been particularly bad with this storm?
  8. -SN lingering still downtown near Farragut Square
  9. What did you expect? It's a frontal passage in January. All we usually get is party cloudy and breezy from these..
  10. Not quite. The Weather Company (IBM) owns WeatherUnderground. The Weather Channel was spun off as a separate entity 3 years ago.
  11. The final hours north/south trend I'm familiar with. I'm more talking about the sudden increase in QPF. Last night I was hoping DC would get 0.2-0.3... Now that seems like a slam dunk and probably closer to the bust scenario.
  12. When is the last time we had a similar positive trend so close to game time? I've only been "tracking" since ~2012/13 but this to me is a remarkable 180 from yesterday/last night.
  13. The loudest voice in the room rarely belongs to the smartest mind. PSU is the exception here.
  14. Okay, so if DC set a new annual snowfall record from now through March you still wouldn't consider this a "top-tier" winter? 
  15. Sorry, this one wasn't of the final cell but the second to last.
