In all seriousness, try putting a global warming spin on it and most cases it comes through to you what he is trying to say. The other cases I just think are his meds wearing off.

Jebman Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Dale City Deathband already forming on radar, right on schedule. Once that column moistens up, with these low dewpoints, temps will hit 31 and the party begins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jlI4uzZGjU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec 5-7, 1910 had 9.9" fall in DC. Dec 5, 2002 had 6.1". Once you get past 12/10, the 1960, 1966 and 1982 snows show up in the 10-12th periods. These were all 6-7" at DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 @North Balti Zen Don't know whether to laugh or cry with your Ghostbusters posts. As a teenager had a job for a friend's father to collect the ticket money from several theaters running this movie, for several weeks no less. Needless to say I lost count how many times I saw portions or even all of this movie over those weeks. Took me decades to get over the PTGBD (Post Traumatic Ghost Buster Disorder) enough to actually sit down and watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 sent my bother in law a text, who lives in Salisbury, also a weather and geography nerd like me... he says they are expecting 1-12" because not one media down there is forecasting the same.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 why wouldnt it do this. The great lakes low can deepen at 15 and that's all it takes. GL's low should be primary because the strongest energy is north. pull it up and merge ya know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a streak of drier air/subsidence between the 2 features. This is just one example We don't even want them to phase because the northern stream feature is north of our latitude. Phases to the north of us are screwjobs. The way this event is unfolding is just about perfect. Heck it IS perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The vortex of energy pull is in Canada.. this barrier is anomaly. 18z has shifted toward what we should see a good bit. A phase would saturate precip in a cloudy pattern where cold air is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 17 minutes ago, usedtobe said: It's 0.75 line is around 10 miles or less from my house. The NAM has got us scrambling and worries me about our forecast west of DC. THe odels have been hinting at some type of banding structure. Tough to know exactly where. The NAM 500h vorticity really supports the idea that the 12Z nAM was too dry across DC. The southern stream lifts across the area and I think it is the reason that the NAM started spicing up its forecast west and southwest of DC. I still worry about temps especially for us guys southeast of the city. None of you have at least 4"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sorry, but that's barely moderate intensity. I'll take a little break from the criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Since Jebman has reported light rain and 43 degrees in his Woodbridge/Dale City location: I watched the 11 a.m. WRC (4) forecast and the WJLA (7) and WUSA (9) noon forecasts and the former two said there would be nothing much before late into the evening. Channel 9 said mixed precip would show up into the DC beltway area around 5. I will say that the 9 noon newscast yesterday showed what I believe was the GFS (I could be wrong, but it was showing snow into the area), and the forecaster was downplaying it. She changed her tune today. I found this fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Turns out my Biology teacher wasn't there so I didn't have to take my test. It's all destiny! I stayed up procrastinating and barely studying since this storm was exciting me so much, and I don't have to take the test. That boosts my confidence by a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
