  1. Slightly colder at 48 for DC and Baltimore which must be due to heavier rates.
  2. Nam looks locked and loaded at 39. A lot more juice on the western side of the storm over Tennessee.
  3. And I don’t have to worry about water left in the vertical pipes that go above ground that form the actual shower? I left the shower valve open so that if those pipes started to freeze it would maybe push any extra water out the shower head.
  4. Random homeowner question that maybe someone here knows the answer to. This summer I had plumbing run out into my yard for an outdoor shower. I had the pipes buried around 2 feet deep. I of course shut off the supply of water before it got down to freezing. I know in colder climates people use compressed air to completely empty pipes of any water that run outside. Is that something I need to do? I've never had any plumbing that went exterior before...
  5. This does not look like enough snow to cause major power outages. If we were talking widespread 8-12+ of heavy wet snow it might.
  6. Yeah, these temps with those rates would work just fine. What doesn't really work for accumulating is the 33 and flurries/light snow like we had with the last one.
  7. My goodness, 6-8 inches area wide by 12z Sunday and still dumping. LFG.
  8. Looks colder than the other models too. 31 in DC at 18z Sunday vs 37 on the GFS.
  9. The late next week threat is our first chance for an actually cold snowstorm. If we have high temps in the low to mid 20s it doesn't even take much to make me happy.
  10. 240 hour Euro has most of the area below zero. I hope something close to that happens. I would like some nice icebox stuff.
  11. Monday went from a high in the 50s to a high of freezing on the Euro.
  12. What happened to the arctic air btw? Are the ensembles saying delayed but not denied?
  13. I remember it never took the bait on shifting the bullseye into our area like the Euro/EPS/UK did.
  14. There were only two periods during this whole event where I had legit moderate snow. One was Sunday, I forget what time, and one was this morning but each one only lasted for about an hour or less. Mostly it's been flurries and very light snow.
  15. Road crews have had it easy here in urban heat island hell. The combination of marginal temps and light rates means the roads have mostly melted on their own.
  16. Hahaha exactly. Those are the saddest periods of time on the forum. When you wake up and the euro wasn’t even discussed.
  17. It’ll get posted pretty much every time when there is an event in play. You don’t even have to ask. The next event wouldn’t start until around 120 hours though and the 18z Euro only goes out to 90, so you can maybe get some clues about it but you’ll have to wait for the 18z EPS to see how it trended. That comes out around 8pm or a little after I believe.
  18. Very much agree. Would love to have a fresh pack get a few deep winter days.
  19. So we've got the Para too far NW, the GFS/UK/CMC/GEFS a \too far southeast, and the Euro just right. Not bad for 5 days out I'd say.
  20. Down to 11 degrees in DC on Monday morning according to the Euro. That would be some deep winter stuff with a fresh pack if it happens!
  21. I was just looking at a storm up in Canada on the Euro and it has snow on every side of it. Imagine living someplace where you didn't have to be on a specific side of a storm to get snow. It doesn't matter if the storm goes north, south, east, or west of you as long it's close it snows.
  22. I need to upgrade my home weather station. In general I prefer to spend a little more money and buy something that will last as opposed to buying the cheapest option off Amazon and having to replace it quickly. Does anyone have any recommendations?
