All Activity

Had a good burst of great dendrites of 1/2S while I was driving home from the store. Lightened up a bit now, but all grassy surfaces are coated.

Worcester, PA ended up with about 2.5". Normally not much of an event, but in this case the roads were horrible. I am not 100% sure, but it would appear not much brine was put down. It wasn't an issue of 15 degrees and brine not working. (I think brine has a point where it is too cold and doesn't work similar to salt). It was 30 to 32 degrees. It appeared after running four fire calls with in 2 hours it was township, county and state roads that were just a mess. (I'm in central Montgomery County PA.) I know the storm over performed, but I think we all knew there was a chance of snow. It also shows it doesn't take much of a coating to create traffic nightmares. I think I read most of the computer models missed it and only the RGEM performed better than others. Kind of makes sense to not put all your eggs in one model. Tomorrow we have a winter weather advisory - so we have a heads-up. Not sure, but I think brine has to go on a dry road. That does not appear likely today. In addition the locals are still plowing and not is a position to brine for tomorrow. Be fun to watch the models tonight for tomorrow.

1/1: .3” 1/17: 3” season total: 9.3”

You guys looked like 3-5 at least anyways

Trend is your friend. Winters have been so bad that this storm would already make this winter better than the past few years. Southeast MA has been rough.

Yeah, that was a nice over performer today. Been a while since we had something like that.

Wxrisk's DT's forecast FWIW..

probably still end up with 6 here

For sure. 2-2.25” here I’m thinking. Everything covered and white. As We await tomorrow’s storm…

Really Ridiculous Forecasting System

Looks good here

Does that stand for Rapid Refresh Forecasting System? Is it any good? Says it’s not for official forecasting lol(experimental).

Beautiful, looks like winter again.

Yeah today was just a disaster on model guidance. Euro prob did the best but even it didn’t quite capture it accurately.

Most of today's snow isn't going anywhere even with temps holding steady tonight so everything will stick tomorrow. Roads remain to be seen how good the rates are

The public is in shock with our social media call of 4-8”.. no one has any idea

Nice.

omg that looks awful. From out to sea to too far west and it's rain.

Correct

I think ideally whatever comes up tomorrow morning continues through the afternoon to keep temps down. Models are disagreeing with that. You would think with the Gulf of Mexico open you’d have good moisture though. We shall see.

RRFS solid for everyone good 4-8” coming for all I believe..

Kind of a mirage and stream interaction never seems to work out in MBY. More likely scenario is an upper south/Ohio valley paste job with the western GL praying for a favorable clipper trajectory. Wisconsin cashes in.
