  1. 12z EPS is a classic look for an east coast storm. This gets everybody on the board and probably meets or exceeds December climo for many.
  2. 12z EPS has great banana high from Texas to Quebec. Classic east coast storm signal.
  3. You mean this one? http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2001/30-Dec-00.html
  4. Agreed. Classic vort pass for a solid plowable snowfall at IAD, DCA, and BWI.
  5. Not surprising this came on quick. HM has said in the past that PNA and EPO forecasting beyond D7 isn't as reliable as the AO/NAO.
  6. IMO, the 2hr delay calls were good. It allowed people to just pace themselves.
  7. Up in Westminster for an appointment and it'd 32 with ZR on the sidewalks by the airport.
  8. From the Mid Altantic forum. This bodes even better for folks in this subforum.
  9. Alert MCPS MCPS, including the Virtual Academy, will open two hours late Thursday, Dec. 15, due to anticipated emergency weather conditions. More information at www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org
  10. This is classic @psuhoffman how we win. As @WxUSAF said, 3" - 6" in December is climo and then some.
  11. Take a look at the hole in blizzard conditions in SW South Dakota. Imagine if that occurred here. Ji would have the meltdown to crash the board.
  12. Ice map seems reasonable. Last updated 9:44 am this morning.
  13. @MillvilleWx excellent write up as always. Your thoughts mirror mine as well. My only two questions are: 1.) Does cloud cover minimize our high temps and we bust low. 2.) With this starting overnight, does the lack of insolation mean ice accretes more effectively?
  14. Looks like LWX extending the WWA for the Mason-Dixon counties until 4pm tomorrow. Makes sense, dews seem a bit lower than forecast, it's cloudy today and surfaces are chilled.
  15. Icing is inherently tricky for forecast. This link was posted a few pages ago, but am posting again. Would encourage members to book mark this: https://training.weather.gov/wdtd/courses/woc/winter/fcst-hzds/ice-storm-accum/presentation_html5.html It's only 20 - 25 min and well worth your time.
  16. Both are bad for aquifers and watersheds. We over brine and over salt too much. In Maryland, SHA has been reducing their usage of these products, but a major problem in Maryland (which is the authority having jurisdiction for the Potomac River, not Virginia) is nonpoint pollution from private companies over treating parking lots.
  17. All it takes is 2 degrees colder to cause a problem and a wail of people to say "there was no warning".
  18. Thank you for the excellent write-up @brooklynwx99. Really appreciate your contributions.
  19. A preview of the 850 temps on the GFS as we near Christmas
