Worth a chase?

Maybe models have severe issues between jan 25 and 27 I have very fond memories of that event. Going to bed looking at radar and thinking “hmmm, seems like that precip could get up in here… Eh, no way. The Mets/models would know.”

I think he means the second storm, I wanna say 9-10 Feb. Its the only thing I could think of as well. I got decent snow, yes, and east and north of me got way more, but that was a case where we were all modeled to get some significant snow because the low was juiced coming in from the west. This one is not really juiced until it jumps to the coast, and I just wonder if this patch of light snow would actually materialize.

“Unique setup” for DC typically means clean driveway/cartop/trashcantop.

So I’ve lived here forever and I don’t ever remember a similar scenario to what is being forecast (let’s say 1-2”). It seems we either get snow from the coastal or we get totally shut out. When is the last time we got snow in a setup like this (assuming we miss all from the coastal)? I’m legit asking, not being negative or anything. I just can’t recall.

LOL, funny sentence, but I just don’t see that.

Wouldn’t really be focused on GFS ensembles at this juncture.

Yes, we get somewhat combative and demonstrate massive negativity when things go bad, but we have some very smart posters and great mets. We are handcuffed by our location in the southern climes.

Christ almighty, you guys do threads right up here—313 pages! I’m in DC living vicariously through you guys on this one. Hope you all get buried! I have some old stomping grounds in Lowell and I wish I was back there this weekend!

*disrobe lol

Judging by the lack of punctuation in this post, I take it that “work in the education” does not mean you are a teacher…

But why does my NWS forecast have a low of 28 tonight? Was that an “already low?” These are the kinds of things that would make a forecast more meaningful….

So when is the temperature going to drop? Looks like the downpours are about to end and I was wondering if it would be better to shovel this 2 inches of slush off the driveway now before it freezes.

So where is the ZR line?

I keep the candle lights in my windows and the wreath on the door but take down all my indoor decorations. So I can get a good Christmas card pic of the house in the snow! Still big, wind-whipped flakes here near the changeover line. 21 degrees.

That is a cool graphic. I am just NW of that. Ripping massive fatties still here 1.0 MI W Centreville.

Still holding on to fat flakes here in Sinnerville! Looks like the end is near tho :/

Already?!

Crap. That is getting close quick. :/

Snowflakes slowly starting to fall here in western Fairfax County (Centreville). 22.8 degrees, dewpoint 10 degrees. Baro 29.95

Lol, I actually stop in Tightsqueeze for gas sometimes when I drive down 29 to Atlanta. And I stop mainly because of the name! Interesting history, actually. That town basically invented the drive thru back in 1870! “The community of Tightsqueeze got its name due to the construction of two buildings close to a road that connected Chatham and Danville during the 19th century. In 1870, W. H. Colbert built his general store close enough to the road that women could go straight from their carriages to the store without getting muddy or dusty. Soon, another merchant, Isaiah Giles, built a blacksmith-wheelwright shop directly across the road from the general store. It, too, was on the road's edge. Due to the closeness of the two buildings, buggies and wagons had to slow down as they passed between the two buildings. Thus, individuals were told to slow down for the "tight squeeze" where the two stores were located.” (from Wikipedia)

That map shows 28” less than what the Euro shows for Erie, lol
