sauss06 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Think MDT bottomed out at 0 and missed the record by one degree. Bummer! WWA up for us, 1-" expected. we will exceed 1" MDT just will not break 0... that was lowest last winter too... still has been since Feb 6 1996 since MDT last reporting a reading below 0 I think their therm. is broken. i had -1, but a couple people near me had -3. What did you have up on the hill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had -2 as my min. I always wonder what kind of impact the river has on temps at the airport. The always seem to be at least a degree or two warmer than all surrounding stations in area.

Itstrainingtime Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 could make for a interesting commute tomorrow! I don't know what to think. Sterling's office just updated to say that dry area is winning out from the north and areas near the M/D line will see far less snow than originally anticipated. It will be interesting to see what Eric has to say for our general area specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 MDT just will not break 0... that was lowest last winter too... still has been since Feb 6 1996 since MDT last reporting a reading below 0 Do you think MDT has another shot later this week? Either Thursday or Friday mornings look like another sub-zero low opportunity, and there will be a deeper (I use the term lightly) snowpack. Tying the record at zero degrees that last happened back in 1905 on this date is really amazing. It's also hard to believe that it has been 19 years since MDT last had a sub-zero low temp. Capital City dropped to -1 so at least one of the local airports dropped below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yea, typically we do best with temps at like 29 to 32 for some reason. But I'm just tired of the brutal, brutal cold affecting my outside time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's always a feature to watch for and in storms where the fluff factor is high it could really boost totals. Some people are freaking over the latest "Dry" runs of the HRRR, but I wouldn't freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Latest Gudiance ticking south BWI might have issues getting 3 plus inches. I suspect dry air will erode initial precip for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Models typically seem to trend north between 72 and 24 hrs...only then to settle back south a bit...as we are seeing.

Rick G Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 it is gonna happen. Just I don't know when. I am not going to worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 March could be big, esp in north areas if this type of cold can continue to hang around(and not be pathetically dry). Otherwise, I would be happy with upper 40s and some sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 At this point before the storm, I usually close the laptop and enjoy the weather outside. Too many people, esp. in the Mid Atlantic, forum, are going nuts analyzing every snippet of an AFD, radar frame, bit of sun peeking though. Thank the weenie gods this particular sub-forum is mentally stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get chilled it takes awhile to get back to normal. On the bright side, once your gear freezes your pretty well insulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
