Another, and another

[wvjules]

Snowstorm tonight - possible 3-6" by 7am Wednesday morning

Another storm headed our way Friday/Friday night.

So we had the big one in December - 24"

Another few inches late December/Early January

We had about 5" on Saturday...quite unexpectedly.

Tonight 3-6"

Undetermined amount for this weekend!

We have gotten more snow so far this winter than I've seen since living in MD total!

I'm out of firewood though.

I have NEVER NEVER NEVER lived somewhere where it seems like a freaking chance of snow EVERY WEEK!! Can you tell I"m wound up about this lol. I hate snow and cold.

I have a big job interview tomorrow with the DOD and thinking about trying to get there tomorrow morning with the crazy weather is driving me insane.

Not to mention having to shovel my own snow

Definately taking my laptop home tonight just in case. Last Thursday morning we got caught in an ice/snow storm (not much snow), but there were so many accidents (including DD17 who was going to school in a friends car and it slid into a ditch). Almost all the roads around us were closed and from about 7am-10:30am our entire area was in a grid lock. My work (1/2 hour away) got nothing - go figure!

According to this website

which is usually pretty accurate, the I-95 corridor will be *slammed* with snow this weekend.

Good luck with your interview! Is it at the Pentagon with your DH?

We need to get together sometime.

Sending you all some warm sunshine from well-not-so-sunny-but-at-least-warm Florida.



Snow is why I moved 1000+ miles south. I hate that stuff.

That says we could potentiall get MORE than we got in December! Wow! We were burried then.

No its actually for army family program manager for the state of VA or something like that.

I'd love to get together. Matt originally was supposed to come home in April but now looks like mid June.


Did you make any decisions about Germany??

Are you trying to scare me? lol

Two feet of snow is ALOT of snow and possible to get more than that... I'll never be able to get out of this house!

They decided not to post the job. It will be a TDY position rotating in and out so one person is not there for more than 4 months at a time.

THE WEEKEND MAIN COURSE HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM TO AFFECT THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST CORRIDOR from VIRGINIA TO MAINE FRIDAY TO SUNDAY.

If computer model trends continue as they have in the past 24 hours, this storm has potential to eclipse December 19, 2009 ; February 15-18, 2003 ; January 6-8, 1996 ; March 11, 1993 ; February 11, 1983 ; December 1966, and could rival March 18-22, 1958. We are are not trying to be sophomoric for the sake of ratings. In this highly charged El-Nino pattern, with the 3-month Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) equal to that of January 2003, the month of February may produce societal disruptions similar to what occured in January 1994 along the eastern seaboard.

SUPPORTING DATA PROJECTIONS Forecaster Brisko of Penn State University recently issued the latest liquid equivalents from both the European (ECMWF) and US Global Forecast System (GFS) computer models. We have been examining this potential for 36 hours, and this constitutes our "FirstCast" but by no means is a "Storm Grade Amount" which is customarily released 12-24 hours before the event.

Liquid equivalents Washington to Richmond 1.75 - 2.00" | Baltimore to Philadelphia 1.50 - 1.75" | Harrisburg to Hagerstown 1.25 - 1.50"

Possible snow ratios The three most recent storms have produced ratios 2 or 3 inches higher than what our forecast team has projected (14:1 for Dec 19, actual 16.7 ; 12:1 for January 8, actual 14:1 ; 15:1 for January 30, actual >20:1). Based on this, the team and students are setting 16:1 as a general baseline snow ratio for this event.

FirstCast and rationale Using 16:1 as a guide, and 1.50" as liquid midpoint, we believe this storm could equal or exceed 24" in the Baltimore metropolitan area by daybreak Sunday. Note that several other computer models have amounts far higher.

I hope that Foot's predictions are off for this weekend, but he's usually pretty accurate. It can't hurt to be prepared in case that snow does come in feet instead of in inches.

Awesome!!! I get to use my new snow blower again!!!!

 

[mamamary]

Glad I left my shovels at the front door - hope I don't have to use them too much. My kids are excited at the prospect of no school tomorrow though.

I'm in COlumbia and it's driving me nuts! If I wanted this weather, i would have stayed in Boston!

Wasn't that the most ridiculous thing ever! We got a dusting, literally NOTHING and gridlock. My husband has a 50 minute commute and got about 10 minutes away from home in 2 hours. He turned around and went home. It took me an extra 15 minutes but I can take back roads to work. I told him to not even bother going in tomorrow morning and to just work from home until lunch time. I just don't understand why there is such gridlock for 1/2 an inch of snow.....it's PA, we are used to snow!

I think I am definitely in the minority here, but I am soooo hoping for a major whiteout We moved to the panhandle(WV) in 86 from NY and I can count on one hand the number of good storms here in all these years. My DS has been loving all the snow this year and IF we get this big one they are predicting, I guarantee we will be out there until we turn into human icepops This also gives me a great excuse to go buy some more fun bootsThe ones I have are getting worn out!)

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I am not looking forward to all of this snow,

 

[llij]

I'll be in Florida this weekend. I just hope that I can get back on Sunday b/c I need to teach on Monday!

Praying for a snow day tomorrow so I can finish packing!

 

[Christine]

My co-worker has a friend who is a meteorologist. He is young, she said, so not all that experienced but where he is working they are predicting 18 inches and up for this weekend. Sheesh.

You know, I really just wish the snow would come during the week. I want a government shut down (i.e., free day off). I use my weekends to run all my errands because I work all week. Last Saturday I was stuck in the house all day and had to do everything on Sunday. Looks like the same scenario this weekend.
