WEATHER53

Need wider goalposts!

I stayed up until 6am to see the changeover and got back up at 8 to see the pummeling

If there is no adverse action then there is no “overreaction”. Overreaction concept is merely failure to take responsibility for the initiating act.

Thank you very much . You younger folks have access to data that was non existent when I was working on how to forecast starting in about 1965. By 1980 I was taken into the DC weather fold and they too found me not like them but I was accurate and the broadcasts began. By 2000 started getting involved with the internet . I too want good relations and I did miss your previous olive branch but now I know and intend to reciprocate even if I was brusque some posts earlier. Thanks

Name caller find another thread to instigate a personal attack in.

Very very good stuff and I agree with all of it except the “overreaction” characterization. Don’t start in on me and you won’t hear a peep in response. I nailed this last storm well in advance and that really irritates some because, as you stated perfectly, my analysis methods involved decades of record keeping diaries from the 60s into 80’s before models were readily available. It has served me well and kept me engaged with many weather services businesses outside of this board. So a piss ass pot shot taker .will be responded to by me . Or his jollies can be sought elsewhere and not at my expense nor thus boards expense unless you all enjoy this shit. So I will simply be a continued non tradition forecaster and enjoy it until the barbs fly again. I won’t slink off to the “ignore ” Like I’ve said, the ball is in a court that’s not mine. I fully desire amicable exchange of information and opinion. I don’t find juvenile jerk “fun making” of any use here .

Well we know you feel entitled to your snarky but how about instead of expecting people to put you on ignore, and effectively hide like a safe space , that you just be a decent human and not snark out on those who dont do things they way you do?

Don’t forget to take your antibuse and I could put out all the details and then some pearl clutches would flock to the rescue. All I want to do is to discuss weather. You feel empowered to chide and deride because it amuses you. That’s a sickness. so Mods and fellow posters. Do you want weather discussion, even if it does not fit into the model vein always, or do you want back and forth nastiness disguised as “funny” when that is not the the real intent. The intent is ill will and I’m more than willing to respond to that. Or we can make our weather observations in peace. Don’t be a self absorbed ass and there is no response from me. I Never Instigate. But, try and stab me and you get shot and can cry about my “overreaction” all you want Ball is in all of your and Moderators court.

Back

Anyone else have the following? Elevated surfaces accumulated slower than some fully shaded ground spots? 6” on snowboard but 7.5 scattered shaded ground and not a drift. Cars did well at 8” currently 28.3F and 4.75 remaining on board 100% snow coverage where not hand removed. Max ground depth 6” and full sun depth 2.5-3.5

Generally it’s good to lean away from DC snow but when the pattern is like what started couple days ago then it’s wiser to lean in.

I mean that was 2007 and I think we first met like 3/4/5 years before that. We should have a 20 year Anniversary party !!

You are aptly named

This is a well done translation How are you ole buddy? Many days since that meeting up at Baltimore Harbor. Nice to be in a wintry pattern and have discussions about snow.

So we gonna go for the 90% bail out again like last one over one 6 hour run? Patterning controls pattern and not models. A 3-5” snow maker on tap for DC

It’s going to take another 7/8 days for that pattern to set in. Save depresso for elsewhere

Dc is in a snow pattern

Looks like a brush by snow that’s not an A nor B but rather a wsw-ene mover as opposed to the last one moving sw-ne if we start to get into the aspect of where we need a transfer and phase then, as most always, we right around DC are in trouble

I like this track also and analogs say they keep coming generally for about two weeks.

Jeez. Tracks even better than last one ?

Had to brush off about 6 bushes but nothing snapped. Slight bit more likely a problem. 6.5” final tally. Baby blue eyes Colorado spruce in yard looks like postcard.

10 pm obs 24F Compaction down to 5.25” on board

Unless there is a tent covering the temperature area then there is no reason for 5-6 degree variance for 1-7 miles away with 100% snow cover and same sky and wind conditions. What then is “trapping” the heat and preventing radiance or what is “adding ” additional heat to that site alone.?

Well right now with 100% snow cover within 15 miles of DCA its5-6 degrees warmer. Explain to me with that much deep snow cover how Any “heat island” element is existing So much pressure was exerted over temps and snow totals post Snowmaggedon that snow totals have cleaned up and become more matching. The issue with the temps is very very likely the improper placement of the actual thermometer.

Lot of 8-10” reports Annapolis way . Ranged 6-7” here . 90% who bailed or dismissed. Atlanta toRaleigh low pressure with cold air in right place is The mechanism for snow around DC.
