Ji Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 1Weve been talking now for weeks about how the end of november and begining of December could be a very cold and stormy pattern for us. There is a very good chance by this time next week, we could be seeing snow and or ice falling in this area. Unusually cold air from Canada will be coming down while a storm brews in the southern plain. That combination will likely start us off as snow..change to ice and end as rain depending on how strong the high pressure system is over Canada and how quickly it moves off. Lots of questions here but it does appear that we have our first legit threat for wintry weather early next week. Here is a snapshot from this morning's gfs run. If this were to happen, it would be a shocker for alot of Washingtonians. My personal guess is that we start off as snow and changeover but lots of time to track this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I don't think the cold from Canada will drop us below freezing. If anything, we could see sleet, or maybe snow that melts on contact. It will be a rain event most of the time, possibly ending with some lame freezing rain/sleet/snow. The daytime temps will melt anything quickly, if there is anything. And "unusually" cold air from Canada? When is cold unusual in Canada? This will be December we're talking about. It's snowed here in October before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's snowed here in October before. the cold air pouring out from Canada is well below normal for this time of the year. Sure its cold all the time but these temps are going to be brutal up there. I think if anything...it would start frozen and end liquid. Still alot of time but this one loooks very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandaceM23 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Oh No! Snows! Run for Cover! Buy milk, bread and TP NOW in preparations ... for the snow that isn't going to happen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen-like Todd Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Ji has been throwing darts at the weather map for years over at the RealGM Wizards board. Just a warning. He may be right this time, but he is more often simply grasping at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins24 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 There will probably be more than one chance of snow starting next week. Could snow the morning of the Bills game before changing over to rain, then changing over again back to snow. Then again by the Bears game! Though that may come a day or two later... Would be fun to have two snow games like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandaceM23 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Quoted for Truth. :laugh: Where does JP stand on this one....I roll with him. :cool: Also, don't forget to bring in firewood if you have a woodstove or fireplace. Make sure that you have lots of canned goods and non perishables in the event that this storm knocks out power to the East Coast. Make sure that you have your shovels out. If you don't have a shovel, make sure you run to your local hardware store and get one (I'll be stopping by Home Depot on my way home). Salt. Get lots of salt. You might want to spread it on your walkways today or tomorrow to prepare for the storm. As mentioned earlier, make sure that you have ample stock of toilet paper, eggs, milk and bread. Toilet Paper - the essential. Heaven forbid it snows so much that you run out of TP and have to use your hand to wipe when you use the bathroom. Oh geez ... that brings up something else. Pipes. Make sure that your pipes are insulated and that they won't freeze. It would be horrible if you run out of TP and have to use your hand to wipe, and then you go to wash your hands and realize that your pipes are frozen and you have to walk around with poo on your hands.

It would have been even better had our opponents been warm weather teams like Arizona and Miami, as opposed to teams who play in this kind of stuff all that time. Cest la vie ... Nonetheless, I do agree that it would be fun to have a pair of snow games. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
