    I love when people question why someone might be disappointed in a flip. It's really thoughtful and no doubt makes the person on the other end automatically feel better about the prospect of flipping to sleet.

    I was about to ask if that was the one that melted as soon as the sun came up. We were in Fairlington at the time and I remember it well. Cool storm at night, but I remember looking at radar around NYC and accepting that we suck. That may have been the first time I ventured onto weather boards.

    I don't know...I'm not sure it's been a huge deal recently, but then again we haven't had many decent storms recently to prove it one way or the other. That said...f we weren't getting Arctic cold 24 hours in advance via a massive high pressure and a block then this wouldn't even be a discussion. It would just be a cutter, which isn't abnormal.

    No need to apologize and it's not just your post in particular. I just feel like there's always tis reversion to "you should accept it because that's just the way it is" when that's not really the case.

    Except when it's minus 4.

    These kinds of posts annoy me...like really annoy me. They make it seems like it's not possible to have an all-snow event in the cities.

    Holy hell...supposed to be driving home from Deep Creek next Sunday.

    ...and sleet sucks.

    I motherf*cking hate sleet.

    I ride the line for a few hours even in my neck of the woods just west of the DC Beltway. Soundings and temp maps make it look OK, but I won't confident of that unless other guidance agrees.
  11. mattie g
    Yup...this is what I was getting at just above. Even just slightly west of the Beltway is a *touch* better.

    Looking at soundings and the 700/850 temp maps, the margins are SUPER close. Both look OK for DC, but again...really fine margins.

    Don't do it, man...

    I see a single purple pixel over me…

    Congrats them.

    I'll be deep in it for three nights when we head to Wisp next week, so I'm going to *try* to go easy this weekend. Unfortunately, more sleet = more drinks, so it's not looking good for my liver right now.
  17. mattie g
    I'm drying out (not completely dry) after a looooooong Holiday period, so no drinks during the week for me.

    Seems like no matter what changes for the better at 500, there's another change somewhere that offsets it.
  19. mattie g
    I'm sure she appreciated that.

    Mentally preparing for H5 maps that look good for us but end up flipping us to sleet on Sunday morning, followed by day-long snizzle.

    I swear to God...if MN posts radar screengrabs of the correlation coefficient while this storm is going on, I'm going to find his house and egg it, then I'm going to pelt it with iceballs.
  22. mattie g
    You might be. You at least have a place where you can go to experience winter weather during any of the colder months.

    I'm starting to run out of steam for this one. The changes over the last 48 hours have been almost too much, and even with this massive high and super cold we're still looking to take one squarely on the chin with sleet/freezing rain. Too many headfakes, too. I'm just worn out. Hoping against hope that the new flight data somehow helps us, but at this point I don't think I should be holding my breath.

    I don't expect the site to go down or anything, but just in case it does, I created a subreddit (r/mid_atlantic_weather) a couple years ago for spillover in case we need a place to chat. It's not a replacement for this forum, and it doesn't even have any posts in it . It's just an emergency landing place in case we need it!

    Hope you guys can get more folks together! I have dance dad duty on Thursdays or else I'd try to make it...
