    Just use the "Divide GFS by ten rule" and it was pretty accurate. I'll remember that one for the next storm. I'm still waiting for the wind to pick up, maybe tonight lol?

    I'm gonna call a bust for the western shore here. If I wake up with 2" on the ground I'll consider that a success. Juice def not worth the squeeze - lot of wasted model humping for me this past week. From here on out I'll be limiting myself to tracking cherry blossoms. Congrats to those cashing in on the norlun, enjoy it!

    When does the wind pick up west of the bay? Overnight? At all?
  4. IronTy
    Not too impressed looking at the radar over the bay right now. Calvert seems to be stuck in a precip hole and it's just a mile or two to the east. Light snow now with about an inch on the ground.

    I'm over by Breezy Point, were all snow here too but it's lightened up a bit over the past 15min.

    Huge flakes and coming down pretty good in Huntingtown. Wind is starting to pick up a bit too from time to time.

    Left DC and t was 38F and rain on the car thermometer. By the time I got to Dunkirk it was 36F and fat snowflakes. Then at home in Huntington it was all snow and 34F. Some minor sticking on grass at this point but it's lightened up a bit.

    37 and moderate rain downtown DC right now.

    Was my first time using AI actually.

    Look at it this way. In a week it'll all be melted here and it'll be sunny and 50F perfect blue bird weather. Up there they'll still be digging out of dirty gross snow covered in dog poo.

    Hell, it's full BECS for basically all of NJ verbatim. A significant part of the state is looking at 40".

    Triple phaser plus all the extra lift imparted by the I95 exhaust emissions.

    This map is refreshingly easy to read by DT standards.

    Fun fact, when I lived in Michigan, ICP was local and they stored all their music gear in a nearby storage location. One night somebody broke into it and stole all their shit and it was the big news in the area for like a week.

    I just checked the temp out at DCL and it's also 37F out there, same as eastern Calvert. Not sure what to make of that but I'll take it for Calvert's snowfall potential's sake. UHI in DC though boooo.

    My wife has (had) extended family in Mclean. When we first built our house in Calvert 20yrs ago they came down to check it out and we were talking about decorating. He said, and I quote "you don't have to do anything too fancy, it's not like you're in Mclean or anything". Must be the elevation, they're good at looking down on the rest of us lol. Jokes on him now...but that's OT.

    At the house in DC right now it's 44F. At the house down in Calvert it's already down to 37F. A good omen, going back down there in the AM to make final preps. Going out to the cabin at DCL on Thursday, they currently have a WSW for 6-12" so I think I'm gonna get my snow fix no matter what.

    I think JB was talking about the southern lobe of the LP over the GL and how the euro was holding it back slightly before it joined with the eastern LP and that was what was causing the euro to have lower impact totals. Maybe the HRRR is doing the same thing?
  19. IronTy
    Accordion my to the snow contest totals, BWI can't get more than 13" of additional snow this season. Sorry, that's just how it shakes out.
  20. IronTy
    Dude it's late February and we're looking at a noreaster probably half a foot+ of snow following record cold and one of the most anomalous snow events in DC history. Life is good.
  21. IronTy
    Maybe it's centimeters?
  22. IronTy
    Our house in Calvert is right near Breezy Point. How we looking?

    Question for mets and model gurus. When data gets fed into a model (i.e., GFS), I understand in the satellite era how it's pretty easy to get temp data and precip/humidity. But how do they capture atmospheric dynamics like the various vortices? Clearly just utilizing weather station data and weather balloons wouldn't be near a high enough resolution to initialize a model accurately. Do they do something fancy with satellites and refraction to measure Eddy currents in the atmosphere?
  24. IronTy
    JB says DC is 5-10", locally 12".

    I love these late season snow storms. After Valentine's Day im rooting for spring and warm and moth season weather so rain is fine with me. But I'm still a snow weenie so I'll always welcome a HECS. Just don't give me a cold and windy March!
