gunny23 Posted February 16 IMBY ?....I'm scheduled to leave ATL at 2 on Thurs, land at IAD at 4. Chances I will get in? It's a small regional jet which I know are the first to get cancelled. Normally wouldn't matter but we are heading out to Timberline noonish on Friday so I need to get home. Thinking about grabbing a late flight on Weds...

leesburg 04 Posted February 16 I watched the history of food in America on the history channel last night. It was pretty fascinating...the candy bar wars were pretty wild from Hershey to Mars to Curtiss. I didn't know that Hershey fired some dude named Reese and he said oh yeah mother****er watch this!! I also finally learned what M&M stood for. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LP08 Posted February 16 3 minutes ago, WinterWxLuvr said: Good point. But seriously, anybody want to answer that one? I like having a thread because it combines all the data into one location and it is usually limited in banter ( I like some but we spent 3 pages today talking about starting a thread). I do like to go back after storms and see where things were 2-3-4 days before the storm and how things went. I don't have the memory that some folks do here so I like to be able to go back and walk through everything afterwards. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePhotoGuy Posted February 16 Not sure if questioning when to start a storm thread or when watches/warnings will be issued is worse... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking about grabbing a late flight on Weds... Def wait at least until tomorrow eve if possible but if I were in your shoes I'd grab a wed flight if we're still looking at the same thing the euro/gfs are spitting out. Even if snow fails, if it's still looking like rain with temps in the 20s @ IAD thurs the risk of sig delays and/or cancellations is pretty high. The is the first one of these waves to hit with temps being below freezing for 24+ hours straight before it starts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

North Balti Zen Posted February 16 Quote NAM is like exactly what I said to expect, slopfest. If it falls overnight potentially high impact event. Not like I said this would ever be a huge rainstorm, merely that climo wise seems more like a slopfest than a 6" snowstorm scenario. DCHoff has moved the goalposts more today than the UMaryland student section will if the Terps ever beat Ohio State in a football game at College Park.

Kmlwx Posted February 16 DC area drivers suck - But tell me this - would you rather have DC drivers in a minor to moderate blanket of snow - or DC drivers in a covering of sleet and a glaze of ZR (slop). I'll take the snow...and of course even then it would suck. Hell...throw 3 melting snowflakes onto somebody's windshield on 270 and you'll end up with the entire road being closed for 3+ hours.
