WEATHER53

Let’s hope so .Feb 5/6 looked just like this mid Jan.

Rough when nothing on horizon.

Nothing wintery pending so maybe the this thread can be busy

Yeah that spotty frozen fog was different . Low of 28

Nope Havent even looked at anything other than the thread title pumping yet another big event just 14-28 days away . We had two nice snowstorms, they underestimated both until 24-36 hours out and have advertised about 5 other events 10+ days out that flopped i remember when this was a weather discussion board with guys from all over. Now it’s mostly regional long range model fantasy worshipping.

Yes unfortunately there is. Another 14-28 day chasing

Considerable action on radar to our west-sw

Feb 15-25 the new Feb 5/6

10% clipper chance NWS DC . On the improve

It’s the exact opposite course to take. 5 days and inside should be enhanced, not the 10+ make pretend

I played also. Just not off the board during just about the entirety. It’s a trait of a few sold weather enthusiasts that the run up to the event is way more exciting than the event. No need to try to disown that

I go by what I see and I believe several other posters commented that during both of last weeks events you were absent. A number of other very active posters in the past were similar; the ongoing event meant nothing, they were already onto the 240 hour GFS.

We don’t need to do that I agree. We do not agree on the efficiency and usefulness of models. There is Way More to my weather enjoyment than following models.. I think it’s the bulk of your enjoyment and I need to be more sensitive to that. In return you dont need to take up a challenge every single time I comment on models. I’m not commenting on You. That might work

We understand it’s an ever changing situation to cover the bases of 0 to 12”._

Bad trend to delayed to later

7pm 45F

Makes people mad to talk “models bad”

Can we get three in less than two weeks that go frim near zero to hero??

Right now we are in 0.5” to 10.5” model mode

Annapolis dropped from 76 to 59 in one hour with wind shift west to East this afternoon

Ground real wet and I put my hands down on it and was surprised how cold it still is.

Yes and throw in a couple normal snow but very cold and it’s more often. We forget the biggies and the 10 day or longer sieges. But they happen Not every 10 years only either. The law of averages tends to be that so yes we are overdue to fulfill it

Can we get Another “ looks bad” early on and then slowly swings our way? it’s still not over, colder air asserting a bit more

This is fun now that three in two weeks may evolve from zero to hero!!

The river has frozen and the outcome the same. It so rare that it’s hard to provide data. camp Springs Andrew’s is 10 miles east of DC and in a similar setting and DCA is 25 and Camp Springs 15. That’s an artificial restraint on DCA ability to radiate. Winds homogenize things so the issue is when winds are light what is capping radiation? I agree it’s not comparable to IAD but its close to BWI and should not be 7-12 degrees milder in the repeated current circumstances that it is. some of our DC observers location may also have their thermometers totally surrounded by buildings, roads etc . DCA problems are strange considering it is NOT surrounded by extensive development on All sides
