Yeah, but you got to wizz outside, which is very satisfying. Very.

When I was a youngster, my grandparents had "outdoor plumbing". When I went to visit them, I didn't go to the can for a week. Nothing like shoveling your way to take care of business in the winter.

BTW the chamber pot didn't work for me either.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

Nah, the vultures are too smart. They'll be hanging near a watering hole looking for carrion left by predators. I'm thinking Houston will be surrounded by army ants and desert spiders.

euro continues to show another major winter storm striking the NE on March 6-7th, probably rain for the D.C. area again though.

So, by that map, Southside is pinko territory.

Actually, that is a pretty good map of red and blue virginia.

latest Euro is still showing the storm. The Euro this far out is pretty reliable.

Is this a clipper that takes a dive off the carolina coast, intensifies, then comes up to bomb New England? It looks like VA gets hit worst before it intensifies below 1000 millibars

~~no, this seems to be more of nor'easter type storm, bombing over VA.~~

I take that back, from what I read last night this is a really unusual kind of storm, it's coming out of an arctic blast heading straight down from canada, combining with warm air over virginia.

GFS has now picked up the storm on 3/6.

Euro (per wxrisk) says:

Quote

RIC METRO 3 TO 6" of snow ..so all those RIC TV stations calling for all rain... SO I dont know what they are smoking

6" over sw VA
8-12 DCA METRO into CENTRAL MS but BWI sees 3-6"
12"+ over nw third of VA including n half of the shenandoah valley
12" into s central PA and west and N of Philly

Strange. They aren't talking about much of anything here in Upstate NY and they're calling for 50*+ for temps on Saturday the 9th.

depends on whether it goes out to sea after it forms off the coast.

That map for 3/7 looks like DC dodges the worst. did they shift the map north?

imref · « **Reply #188:** March 01, 2013, 01:53:30 PM »

latest Euro is upping the moisture level, 12-18" for NoVa:

yeah, latest Euro shifts it north, this is now shaping up to be a classic nor'easter.

latest 12Z Euro Ensemble keeps the "historic" storm over VA......

models continuing to show broad agreement of a major winter storm hitting Virginia on the 6th-7th, only question is how far north the snow goes. Some models are showing the snow more Southwest, others more north. So the D.C. area could get somewhere between 4-12" depending on track. Western/SW could get 12" or more. Richmond also 4-12" depending on track.

mitlen · « **Reply #193:** March 02, 2013, 12:33:32 PM »

I'm hoping for 12" of snow.

Seeing the occasional sparce flurry here in D.C. right now.

Went for my run this morning around 10 in Loudoun. Flurries here at that time.

latest Euro shifts the storm west, shenandoah gets hammered:

When you are talking about 12" do you mean max if all snow, or do you mean likely snow? Most of the local weather guys have a lot less.

Slateman · « **Reply #198:** March 02, 2013, 07:36:22 PM »

Snow flurries on Old Rag today. Made for a nice hike.

the most recent models say 12" or more of snow in western VA in the Shenandoah, with lesser amounts as you move east. D.C. looks like it is in the 4-6" range. GFS is still focusing the storm around Richmond, but most folks I read still don't trust it. Here's the Euro:
