heyholetsgogrant Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 what are the chances of this ice really happening? I already see schools closed for tomorrow. Looking to see regarding work. Looking at the latest from the Capital Weather Gang, temps will be key. There is a chance we could see rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Winter Storm Warnings have been expanded. Indeed. Temp is hovering right at freezing right now. Is this next band of storms supposed to bring cold air with it? If not, temp doesn't really seem to be moving down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 On top of that, the 00z NAM makes Tuesday's storm a little stronger than it previously did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Big band of freezing rain moving in to the metropolitan area within the next hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Guess I should step out again; I see clean roads everywhere but I guess everything could just have frozen again. Edit: yup, layer of ice eveyrwhere and I just hear sleet (or freezing rain) coming down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 School closed today. Bmore city held out until 5AM on the decision. So what's supposed to happen tomorrow, and what's the timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Charge your phones. Lol, you ain't lying. Guess our power went out around 1:30am or so. My phone was charging, ended up dying as a result. Also serves as my alarm clock so thank God the tree fell next to the house at around 7:30am and sounded like a bomb had been dropped. Probably would still be sleeping now and minutes away from being fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 So no chatter about tomorrow? NWS has Loudoun and western Fairfax in their 4-6in range. Definitely bullish with this storm. And a potential storm worth following for next weekend too. :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 NWS nailed this past storm, I overshot it. They said 1-2 inches with up to 1/4 inch of ice. I said 3 inches of snow with a 15 hour power outage. Looks like the power went out, but didn't stay out for that long. NWS says up to 5 for Tuesday's storm, that's cool. I'll say 3-4 for Rockville. This mix on the ground ain't going to melt much. More snow and a cold week coming up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Weirdo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 There were 5 inches at my place in Frederick. It was a nice snow day. Stayed in and watched an epic Eagles game and ate crap food all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just654 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 What does it look like for Southern Maryland? Souther MD will be on the lighter side, but should still get 1-2 in. The lastest GFS has the bulleye right over DCA putting down .6.-7 QPF, which would be 6-7 inches or more. It depends on the ratios. I have been hearing 15:1 to 20:1 ratios being talked about. Things might get crazy around here if the EURO trends the way the GFS/NAM has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikered30 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Storm tomorrow looks like a few inches. Sundays storm looking nice on the GFS. Could be rain for you DC people but too far out to make predictions at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dayum, I'm right in the center of the 4-6 range. Sweet! I'm just barely in there...hopefully another nice event. If the school system is smart they'll roll out a delay early and then close if necessary. I hate when they try to be gutsy and send us to school for a mid-day storm, then have to backpedal, close early, and it takes hours to get home anyway. (Or nowadays, get my daughter from daycare.) Souther MD will be on the lighter side, but should still get 1-2 in. The lastest GFS has the bulleye right over DCA putting down .6.-7 QPF, which would be 6-7 inches or more. It depends on the ratios. I have been hearing 15:1 to 20:1 ratios being talked about. Things might get crazy around here if the EURO trends the way the GFS/NAM has. So do I understand things right that a .6 QPF with a 20:1 ratio would be a foot of snow? I mean, I know you're not saying that we'll get a foot, but is that what those numbers mean?
