Its screaming subforum divider. I'm taking my gravestone and heading over to the Panic Room. Analysis wise, nobody seemed to mention the EPS yet so I guess I'll try and be somewhat useful... The mean improved for everyone, 2.5" now approaches NW D.C., the 2" line is safely south of Fairfax. I think someone actually said just that. Good consensus analysis!

The writing has been on the wall for this one all along for DC. Couldn't agree more. At this point, I'd be happy with a little dusting or just to see flakes falling from the sky. I'll actually be happy if areas north and west of the cities get a nice little paste job. Climo says they deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are overthinking things right now. All guidance has showed us walking the line since our first discussion on this a couple days ago. Nothing has changed. Some of the posts seem like breaking news. lol. Guidance is slowly converging on a solution. Which so far the euro has been the most steady and all other guidance has been moving that direction. I'm sure the euro will have a shift @ 12z. And I would think the odds are against a shift towards colder/snowier. All I can root for is the most precip possible and let the rest just play out and not get hung up every couple hours when new "breaking news" comes out. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical though. 38 degrees and rain feels like a more realistic end to this storm than 30 degrees and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's really close. I'd be happy to just see enough snow to whiten everything and get some nice rates early Thursday morning. Getting 4-6" would be a sweet bonus.

I just pointed out that is was slower with the cold pressing in and further north with the low vs the 6z run. That's not a good trend regardless of the specific output.

RichmondTarHeel Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I guess we'll have to see if those high temps actually verify tomorrow. I'd feel much better about my snow chances if I only reach, say 60 degree instead of the forecasted 65. If we go over 65, I'm just gonna pack up my snow boots for the rest of the year.

pasnownut Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Well put Mr. Chill. this ones always been a nail biter, but fortunately there are enough dynamics that can surpise/overcome. To answer kissygirls question...yes, there will likely be a little nowcasting/surprises, but only if the storm stayes amped...and your close to the line on this one. No big changes likely at this juncture. Too close to game time. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 GFS would have to be almost no snow out here. Pops a low right over Roanoke it looks like. I'm skeptical of that, but whatever. I'm cool with rain on this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
