osfan24 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I get it to some degree. All is takes is one bus coming back from a road game to slide off 95 and parents will be losing their minds over the decision to play. The schools are really in a can't win situation with this stuff. Either it doesn't produce and a bunch of parents roast the school system for calling things off for nothing (kinda like the snow event that was too warm the other day) or they let things go as scheduled and something bad happens and they freak out about safety. It's the way things are in this day and age. Everyone just waiting to file a lawsuit. Very soft society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vern Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Do you even own a car? Lol And that's why you (I) commute by bike. When it snows, I get none of the endless traffic jam hassles, and 21 glorious miles of riding in the snow. Wednesday morning was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 short range models (like the HRRR i posted above) show it as a line of snow showers moving across the state (similar to a line of storms associated with a front in the summer). Most everyone should see something, but some places may see better batches of precip than others. And since I do so well with those, I will say I am out. Flakes would be a victory.

osfan24 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just give me the epic squall line with the arctic front we had either last year or the year before. The ground literally went from dry to completely white in about 10 minutes. It also came with wind which made it virtual whiteout conditions.

Ian Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Agreed. It's just nauseating at this point. wx peeps think they need to hold people's hands and treat them like children. it's obviously worth a heads up but telling people to be home for the night before the chance arrives.. heh.

I agree but do see the need for taking precautions. You see all the time on the news horrific accidents on highways located in the midwest and great lakes during squalls and those area see that type of weather frequently in the winter.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I get chills just thinking about that day. From the anticipation to the whiteout to the flash freeze of my 2" of powder to the big cold and wind that night. The perfect event. A++++++ Makes me sick every time Bob posts those pics. It lasted about 10 min out here. Maybe a 1/4 inch....maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 OBS--light flurries passing by just now. Radar looks juiced out in the mountains for our 6-8:00 witching hour time frames. Hope it holds together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacintoshPro Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 It was nice in Arlington 1 inch of cold blizzard-like powder. But not anywhere near what the DC/central Maryland folks had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 People that made out best last year were the ones that got the pre-frontal snow. There was an area of snow that developed out ahead of the main squall. MoCo thru HoCo thru north central AA seemed to jackpot. I know I was pushing 3" for the event and the wind howled that night.
