dailylurker Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just a full on smoke job here in Central Del. It's getting colder and the snow is starting to blow around. I'll take pictures when I go back out. It's so heavy thst it soaks my phone immediately. Radar looks horrible in the lowlands. I'm glad I came here lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Mod snow and wind is picking up. Looks like the best rates is just east of me. Things must be insane at dulles town center. At least KIAD should pad its stats! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 2 minutes ago, SnowenOutThere said: I think today was a great example of the margins we lose. I'm at around 2 inches of snow and waited till 2pm for snow to start mixing into the rain. We run that back 2-3 degrees colder and I'm below freezing a whole hour or two ahead of time which is probably around an inch extra of snow. Now, to truly get this storm further we would need 5+ degrees colder to get it all snow from morning onwards. What margins are we losing when eastern areas at low elevation are getting crushed, in a marginal cold set up!. There is always nuance to this stuff. The deepening low and its location in this situation favors heavy snow in places that normally get less, while places inland at elevation are struggling to accumulate. I need more explanation about losing margins. Otherwise it sounds like whiny BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extra degree or two gives us like 3 more hours of accumulating snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this snowfall would've been 3" instead of 1.5" I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference. Now, the argument is that losing an inch here or there adds up in the final snowfall tally of the season I can understand that. P.S. I think we should all get a salty pass tonight...I mean the hecs is just NE... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly probably not getting a HECS. Debatable for NYC now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm gonna call a bust for the western shore here. If I wake up with 2" on the ground I'll consider that a success. Juice def not worth the squeeze - lot of wasted model humping for me this past week. From here on out I'll be limiting myself to tracking cherry blossoms. Congrats to those cashing in on the norlun, enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
