Popeman38 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 5-8" of snow would be the PERFECT way to end winter. Take the day off work and go sledding with my daughter, and it will all melt within 36 hours. Win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they end up as big storms in the Northeast, that was always my impression as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ok, the GFS has us getting PLASTERED like last year. Is this a realistic possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd be very much not surprised to see this thing get pushed a little further east and D.C. area get only an inch or two of slushy snow. Very sharp cutoff for moisture, and down south where I am also a very sharp cutoff for the rain/snow line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some recent very warm days and the highs tomorrow and Monday break 40 so you wonder if the ground is cold enough or if we'll lose a lot due to melting.

Nights for the next 3 days will keep the ground cold enough to only lose a few inches. I don't want a massive storm, just 5/8" of snow to sled in and make a snowman. I don't want to have to add the oil to my snowblower, prep it, and test it before Monday. It's been sitting idle in the corner of my garage collecting cobwebs and grocery bags.

Springfield Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looking good for D.C. Havinf a hard time believing this based on how our winter has been so far. Of course, it just proves that you don't need cold air... just storm track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchogs Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 a lot of variation between the models, last i saw. not great timing for my daughter to be coming back from her central american spring break service trip. 1 minute ago, d0ublestr0ker0ll said: The most common misconception is that they're named after the direction the storm goes after it dips south and shoots towards the northeast.

It's definitely taken on the idea that the storm moving northeast = why it's called a nor'easter, but the high winds towards the northeast associated with these storms are what is directly responsible for them getting the name. The term was coined a few hundred years ago, long before radar and a good understanding of weather patterns. Imagine being in 1750, in Richmond, and getting belted by "one them storms with the nor'easterly winds." You'd know right then to run to the market for bread and milk.
