    6:45 obs and travelogue in Baltimore now and no snow and dry pavement and 36 Left GREENBELT at 35 6pm and light to moderate snow. Got to Laurel and it became heavy to very heavy and was accumulating on sides of BW Pkwy and swirling around on travel part and temp dropped to 33.5. so looks like best evap takes temps down about 2.5 and hope we can get another degree or two out of that later?

    5:15 obs and previous hour synopsis Currently 36 and snow with occasional mixing. Started off at 4:20 at 39 and rain then a 50/50 mix for 20 minutes and became mostly or all snow at 4:55

    We’ve got temp problems again at least for the start. 42/32 won’t work so hoping there is an interceding factor on the way ?

    NWS new radar is utterly awful. Took a fully functioning entity and made it a muddy mess that won’t load and the national map is a useless mess cluttered with individual radar site buttons that don’t load and delete the previously selected site and blot out the National See this is who is in charge of models also. Trying to be too precise and making a potential previously functioning tool almost useless.

    We wait and watch. Radar WV and satellites in control now. Models a mishmash of every form of precip with low confidence forecasts of 2-10” over last 24 hours. BC almost had me going yesterday with the “we would be lost without models after 24 hours”

    Over suppression and should relax

    We usually get one and miss one and there’s a 20 mile swatch that gets the overlap

    I brought it over here too and I won’t mess up weather section . lose to probably doesn’t want me as an “ally “ but got two of us basically saying same thing.

    Belongs in banter and not weather Yes, imperious and condescending does piss me off. Post it and they will come.

    We don’t want to turn this into a mess but nice to see someone else noticing.

    35 degree highs will melt 4” snow in 2 days but those glacial packs two or three times as long!

    We don’t have ridiculous expectations. We do seek competency. You are absolutely right and glad to hear you say it-The Models Try To Do Too Much. So, do less or do different Want nice atmosphere when Obs time starts so will leave it at that. But, when things slow down will release a thread with detailed, rational and verified wholesale different method of modeling. I don’t just bitch, I offer suggestions and possible solutions.

    It’s not”drying up” because it does not predict but rather right now is covering the drier example base. 6 and 12 hours from now another example will be given

    What is start time?
  15. WEATHER53
    He deserves credit because he is the best discusser I know of as to what the combined elements of a big snowstorm need to be for our area. He is considerably less skilled in prediction of what an upcoming system will turn out to be and produce.

    Thanks and the extreme cold has been pushed back. Delayed but not denied is generally a disaster for snow but not as much for very cold surges although it’s a neutral sign at best. Looks like rollover cold also where it plunges into Ohio Valley and west and then rolls over mountains and onto us in a modified state as opposed to strong cold which plunges directly down upon us from NY State and PA .

    How cold is max cold period?
  18. WEATHER53
    Agree and 35 here and heavy 1”ph stuff but around noon and just could not accumulate except on old snow

    87 Veterans Day is what I was responding to and not Feb. DCA hit 48 Feb 87 that day and most Obs were in mid 40’s for highs, Yesterday 50-52. Veterans Day was low 60’s day before, then cold front and around 40 at dawn VD but cold air kept pressing in and became snow around noon . DCA and me got the same, 11”.

    If you think you are disputing my overall assertions with one 34 year old example you are sadly mistaken and I wont confirm the scenario you are offering up, Stick with 6 paragraph model worship and always ignore opportunity to learn from situational outcomes.

    It’s called too warm of precedent air mass which is what I repeatedly referenced with much rebuke of “models say plenty cold aloft”
  22. WEATHER53
    That’s a good spot and the only one that I too could remember . There are a few exceptions to the 48 day of rule and all qualified that a cold front did push thru after the 48+ and before onset. That did not happen yesterday and the airmass could not support significant snow around DC proper. Silver Spring Alexandria and Rockville arent Clarksburg . Again good spot on 1987
  23. WEATHER53
    Not talking about the day before but rather day of. 87 started off around 40 at sunrise.
  24. WEATHER53
    My forecasts of problems around and within 15-20 miles of DC stemmed from this analog method NEVER since 1975 has my station nor DCA EVER received 4” of more of snow when the daytime temperatures before the even have hit or exceeded 48F. Such an air mass has never supported that amount of snow. A few (3/4) had instances where a cold front moved thru after the 48 was hit or exceeded but that was Not the case in this situation

    Heavy snow, 1”ph rate, but still can’t overcome radience at 34.2F and prime time daylight. snowboard 1.25” , all grassy areas covered, sidewalks and street wet.
