stormtracker Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 8 minutes ago, PhineasC said: LWX is likely doing what they are based on the arcane logic that this is "two storms" and they don't have to issue squat on "phase II" yet. So all they have to forecast for right now is the mostly rain early front part. I usually don't get into the debate about watches or warnings, but I'd like to know their thinking on this one. NOt saying it's right or wrong..just odd how every office around us has them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Well it was like I was thinking for the advisory and watches... WWA for wave1 in some locations and WSW for the wave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I dont know what I am missing with the timing on these advisories. But all of the models have snow starting here very early tomorrow morning? Watches are for tomorrow night? NVM. I didnt see they issued two different statements.

In truth, I'm like you. Even some of the posters that drive me a little nuts in the storm threads, I don't ignore. I like watching the beat-downs as they happen.

They are looking at it in two pieces... The WWA is for the slop for tomorrow... The WSW is for the second piece that comes in tomorrow night into Wednesday. They are not treating it as one storm.

What do the pro mets know over at LWX. Idgets. Oh, wait. They said ice accumulations too. "A Winter Weather Advisory will be issued for any amount of freezing rain, or when 2 to 4 inches of snow (alone or in combination with sleet and freezing rain), is expected to cause a significant inconvenience, but not serious enough to warrant a warning."

I'd be surprised if RIC reported negative accumulations. If anyone is going to report negative accumulations, it would be DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 For those focusing on the ragged radar west of the Apps around the center of circulation, that's normal as the ull begins to cross the mountains. And the blossoming radar for us is looking better and better and hopefully a good sign of what's to come. Also, I should put this in the March banter thread, but I'm stoked that the Austin bombings may be over. Figured I’d jump this over. Glad to hear that the coward killed himself. Just have to hope nothing else is out there. I’ll admit to being morbidly interested in the case. Can’t figure out a motive and the idea of tripwire bombs in a major US city felt so NCIS.

Thanks for the cross-over to the right thread, and we don't have to discuss it, but I also found myself interested in the story. I think the sniper stuff from over 15 years ago has left a scar on me. It's not that I ever felt like anything was going to happen to me, but a general scar in the sense that there are some whacky peeps out there.

psuhoffman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hopefully this ends the beyond stupid "it can't snow because of persistence" and "why are you wasting your time tracking" BS nonsense we get every time it doesn't snow much by February. Forget all the old examples I've given over the years we now have 3 recent examples (2015, 2016 & 2018) where people gave up and whined incessantly when winter got off to a putrid start and then we got a good snowstorm. Yea I know this year it came way later then ideal but we're not Vermont we don't get to be choosy with snow. It comes when it comes. And unfortunately it's fairly common for us to go long stretches over multiple years without a big snow. Sucks but that's reality. But it can snow anytime between Halloween and Easter in any year no matter how craptastic it's been so I'm tracking every threat and if anyone doesn't like it too bad.

Agree 100%, I've had snow anywhere from Oct 10th (1979) 7" to April 4/5/6th (1987,1990,1992,1993, 2013) 2-6 inches. You can get rain anytime, but if a little cold sneaks in........

Our default setting is "fail" so the army of Debs that get going every time we go a month of winter without a big snow are annoying because saying "see it didn't snow told you so" makes them right by default 90% of the time...until it snows and they look stupid again.

Not many areas in our back or front yard that get most or all day shade. Only big snow piles left are shoveled piles in our driveway & my brother's snow ramp he made for sledding.

This stuff has some mass, cause we got a lot of sleet and it was subfreezing for a long time. And the 2/15/14 50 degree windy day when my high was supposed to be 34 melted a lot too.
