marked8 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Good article. After how this winter has been I would take that 1 inch and be happy if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsnowlover Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 with the mild temps before the storm, to worry about rush hour tuesday is a bit premature considering the model differences and temps, even if their cold enough, ground temps are too damn warm. Getting excited about this is, , well, kinda boring. Considering this winter, I wont worry about it until monday aftn. What the hell. I,m enjoying the warmth. It might be heavy snow or it might not???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Elevation will be a big factor this time. This could be the kind of storm where northern MD gets 4-6" while DC gets a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be but fairly small changes to the palyers could impact the track and it could still edge back southward or northward a little. Shift the NAM sfc low south 50 miles and it would make a big difference in the temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but since this storm will be preceded by a torch on Monday, I don't think anyone east of the fall line should count on any meaningful accumulation. At least that is how I recall most storms with suddenly colder temps, like 12/5/2009. Of course you know more than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that many torches to snow even though upper 50s to snow isn't unusual in March. That might be something for Ian to look for.
