biodhokie Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wish I could. My dad's office is in Fairfax and he'll be up there for a few days this week. Too bad I have other commitments. Good news is I'll be off to a four-year school this fall which could put me anywhere from Fredericksburg to Blacksburg. Basically, more snow any way you look at it. As a former hokie, I'd be remiss not to plug in Virginia Tech, and as a former Fredericksburg resident...tech >> Mary Wash (edit: depending on what you want to do). However, that said...Blacksburg tends to be a snow anus getting cold/freezing rains when the surrounding mountains get all snow. Come summer you get some decent boomers where Fredericksburg tends to get split a lot and only gets snow marginally more than Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I love these kinds of posts. No sarcasm. There is always little odd events that happen before big storms, like there is a bigger power at work. I think I'd have people agree when I say that many animals simply know when things like this are happening. It is interesting to say the least.

mdhokie Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hey Ian can you post that 384hr GFS map that predicted this storm? I thought that was kinda ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So far I've learned GFS is stronger, weaker, colder, wetter, and better. All I want to see are the blues pasted over NoVA/DC/MD with the 850 line east of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The nam clown map dislikes FDK.... Frederick has angered the clowns. They require sacrifices for appeasement. Also, if this storm verifies as modeled, the worst part is I won't even be able to complain about how bad the rest of the season was because of this one beautiful bright spot.

Kmlwx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Exits a little faster and with less qpf than id like but definiitely a move towards the nam Fingers crossed, but I think this looks better for the DC crowd. Run looks wetter, if that's believable. I guess the snow determination will be clearer when some of our pros come in with soundings. They live in different places but I laughed...

Sparky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 the model runs aren't the problem. the problem is uninformed/stupid people, or liars, hyping up stuff that is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nice recovery from 18Z. Weenies stressing over "less precip" with purples across the area are stupid. +1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just FYI that the little kink of non-purples in the total precip map on the 00Z GFS is where several "I'm being fringed" whiny weenies live so be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So who is blazed? blazeking or WinterWxLuvr? lol Not sure what you mean but some of those guys must be on drugs.

nj2va Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Welcome to the mid-atlantic. Where 1.75-2" of QPF and colder temps vs the 18z will lead to complaints and gnashing of teeth about the next problem to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I said than id like .. but ya its definitely better ...down here a portion of that will be rain though I wonder though..if there is a dreaded dry slot awaiting NVA ...anyone have thoughts on that?

terpsnation Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that we were begging for .2" QPF. Now we're "down" to 1.5" and people complain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
