Kmlwx Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 +TSSN 20/17 NE winds 35 mph occasional gust to 50 Wow. What a difference in so little distance Tropical storm conditions - heavy rain, tornado vicinity, 70/68, thunder, winds sustained at 50mph gusting to 70mph occasionally.

BethesdaWX Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 57 degrees, perfect wx for spring yard cleanup aside from a stiff breeze at times Looks like a boring week coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 57 degrees, perfect wx for spring yard cleanup aside from a stiff breeze at times Looks like a boring week coming up Long periods of boringness typically end with a bang around here (at least in my experience). I'm more than willing to trade a week or two of great sunny but boring weather for some excitement that doesn't fail later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Temps have stayed generally 45-47 here for most of the day. Far cry from yesterday's 67. NW winds 12-25 mph keeping it very refreshing under mostly cloudy skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Oh yeah? I had an ice tornado, so HA! Back in SUNY Albany there's four quads that has a square of 3-story tall buildings with a 22-story building (very WTC-like) in the center. We'd get whirlwind effects off of the towers and get snow-devils during the winter Once we even had a paper-devil that went up at least 10 stories. Today would have been a perfect spring day if it wasn't quite as windy... still got out and did some jogging, though. ----- EDIT: HA HA there's actually a movie on Syfy right now called Ice Twisters... and yes it's about ice tornadoes.

Kmlwx Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just got back from Silver Diner in Rockville. While it is a bit chilly outside I was still pretty set with short sleeves. Felt very refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just got back from Silver Diner in Rockville. While it is a bit chilly outside I was still pretty set with short sleeves. Felt very refreshing. Doesn't the food suck there? I remember them changing the food/menu recipes to "healthy" crap to the point I wanted to barf, if not maybe they changed it back. They had peas in the coleslaw, no cheese on the chees fries, the brownie was as hard as concrete, the burger buns were whole weat...eewwwww. It used to be so damn delicious.

Got a really nice burger there just now. Fries were nice and crispy as well - warm food on a chilly night nothing like it. No whole wheat bun either! Anyhow - it definitely looks like we are in for a bit of a boring stretch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the one with Brittney Murphey? I watched some twister related flic on syfy with her in it. Also, and this may be something we see in Japan, but Atomic Twisters should be taken very seriously.

North Balti Zen Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 57 degrees, perfect wx for spring yard cleanup aside from a stiff breeze at times Looks like a boring week coming up If boring equals warmer temps and less wind, bring it on.

jonjon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I know I'm not in DC or Balt -- but I'm not starting a thread to post my obs. Cold this morning, but it looks like the rest of the snow here in town (which is only some patches) will be gone in the next day or so. Still a lot of snow up high on the ridges -- check out the video from this weekend. http://vimeo.com/21005675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cloudy, temps in 40s currently. Looks like a cold rain tomorrow/night. I was just thinking about all of the winter outlooks from last fall and remembering many of them predicting a cold, stormy Feb and March. I remember several "Feb/March will be rockin" comments. Boy, were those forecasts ever backwards. I guess it just shows that long range weather forecasting isn't an easy thing to do. So.......what's next winter look like?

So.......what's next winter look like? there is probably some skill in temps for a few long rangers.. precip is generally a crapshoot though perhaps you can get a general seasonal sense. anyone who acts like long range forecasting tells many tales is a liar.

WxUSAF Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 So.......what's next winter look like? Given that we've had historic winters somewhere in the NE corridor in back-to-back winters, one with a strong Nino and the other a strong Nina...I think there's something to be said for this persistent -NAO/-AO trend. Combine that with something between a weak Nina to a moderate Nino and I like our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
