mattie g Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yeah, if it's not hitting us, everybody else be damned! Makes sense. To have storm mode for here since this forum seems obsessed with how New England is going to do with this storm. We'll probably have more posts about that then our own weather. People down here are going to get pretty excited by the 38" in Worcester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Someone in SNE will get 40''. Absolutely unreal. The pain I am experiencing right now is undescribable. After this our feb 5-6 2010 storm won't even be the GOAT for the I95. Boston gets 4 feet on the NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I know most here know this but just to reinforce the problem at hand for those who are hoping because the 1036hp looks so good, this says a lot: namwind.JPG Look at the wind barbs in our area. S-SE surface flow is a dagger. Same flow @ 850 too. The low near the lakes is a warm air vacuum. That beautiful 1036 hp is rendered useless until the 850 circulation shuts off to our n-w. If the antecedent airmass was much colder then we could talk about meaningful front end precip but there is just too much stacked against us here. There is a very very slim chance the circ around the low to the nw shuts off fast enough to let the low to our south pull enough cold air down to give us something at the end but I wouldn't bet a dollar at 5-1 odds on it. The 1036 high will thwart the contour closing off on the nw low and thus the nw low will be rendered far less effectual than is currenlty being portrayed.

MDstorm Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It's sad watching the NAM at 54 hours pound SNE with heavy snow with a low sitting off the NC coast, while I'm seeing drizzle.... MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I will just keep looking at the coastal storm on the EURO with the HP to the north and not look to the NW. And wait for the miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaWx Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I'm gonna stoop to a new level of weenie right now out of desperation for snow. Anyone know what the wusa9 future cast is based on right here - http://www.wusa9.com/weather/forecast/regional_forecast.aspx I look at it from time to time before storms, and it seems to be accurate quite a bit. I'm sure it's based on some model already out there... Right now I took a look at it, and it has mostly snow west of IAD. Imagine it coming true...

WEATHER53 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Accumulating snow now being predicted for central-northern parts of the Eastern Shore and Delaware. If they get it but we don't then it would Not be a temp. issue but rather the location of the precip. mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Wow this is going to be a kick-ass storm for the Boston area. It would be really fun to be in a blizzard watch but our climo just doesn't get us these storms often. No reason to be bitter about it, I'll try and just enjoy the fun vicariously through them.

stormtracker Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This will probably be on of the most painful storms in a while for us. I'm genuinely happy for those guys up north, but I wish it were us. Most of us should probably sign off Thursday night and not come back until Monday.

I'll be eating up this coverage. Really quite a shame I moved down here while my parents will be cashing in 12-18 inches in the Lower Hudson Valley.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Not exactly sure why so many obsess over NE. Boston is as far north of DC as DC is of Charlotte. They are going to get more snow than we do. It's silly to think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtropics Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If we don't get hit at all this winter and SNE gets buried with 30 inches and gusts over 50 this winter will without a doubt be worse than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtropics Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Trend is our friend. The low NW is killer though. Give me precip and I will worry about the cold later. Plenty of time for NW low to be mismodeled. High stronger than modeled, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
