Pacemaker Fishing Forum

That's the "Curly".....looks like 10" for us a bit less for Dulles.

And nothing but mud for the rivers.

Geez u guys....this Winter has been endless enough...I predict no more snow-ever...

Snow, sleet, or rain in the fcst on Monday.  Uggggg.

Had to make it to work last Wednesday - no choice.  But them Monday, I'm setting up for unscheduled telecommute.

OK...I will answer my own question.

YES....we are going to get more white stuff. I predict that Curly will be putting up yet another accumulation total thread.

OK................I'll put up the thread...............

I can't wait to do some pre-spawn bass fishing this August.

x2!

I just heard someone say last night that this next one could be the worst of the season.  OK weather nuts (Ernie and Curly), please tell me that isn't true.

WxRisk's SUMMARY... Despite what was a clear shift to the east and all the model guidance except for the European ensemble (which also did sdhift a TAD east but not as Much) the threat for a late season significant East Coast is still there. Given that the that is still 4-5 days away is quite possible that the model data will shift back to the west began at some point.

The only other time this winter we have had a Gulf of Mexico or MILLER A Low was the February 12-13 event. For those EU that do not recall that is the system which dropped up to 20 inches of snow in the Virginia Piedmont and in the Roanoke area and to the west and northwest of Washington, DC.... But the actual Low was very close to the coast so that the precipitation went over to rain in eastern VA eastern MD and significant rain over NY NYC CT and southern New England. There were several model runs in the days leading up to the FEB 12 event which had the Low further off the coast and got NYC and New England snow weenies all sexually excited with the idea of a massive snowstorm... But that was not to be the case.

My point here is that a shift to the east on in the early morning model runs here on March 21 is not the kiss of death or in any way a decisive.

Let me emphasize that even if the model data shifts back the west as you get closer to the event and it does look as impressive as it did yesterday afternoon... we still have to worry about when the snow begins with respect to the time of day BECUASE of the strong March sun angle. As I said before if this was February 25 instead of March 25 I would be barking like the nastiest pit bull either seen. But it's not February 25 it's March 25 and we have to deal with that fact.

"ABOUT MARCH 25 -26 NOR'EASTER **** MOSTLY A MISS FOR THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC****BUT SEVERE COASTAL LOW / BLIZZARD FOR EASTERN LONG ISLAND...SE MASS ****"

Whew! Definitely done with all this. I'm ready for some shad. C'mon Potomac, give us 50!

So...we may get 1-2".  If we do the snow accumulation thread there will be many zero guesses and many guesses in 1/4oz increments. Can we just make this one the last one? The shad are running for heavens sake!

Really happy we're not gonna get a bunch of snow this time, I was worried the rivers were gonna get nasty again. I'm ready for some smallmouth.

Agreed...Potomac looked decent on Friday. We were below the WW Bridge. I will be driving by the DC portion of the 'Mac in a few days and will report on conditions. Now we need that water to warm up a bit.
