Looks like a there is good amount of shear but pretty weak instability to establish/sustain updrafts. If the warm front clears early enough, and some places can get a few hours of sun with temps in the 70s, might be enough to kick off a few decent cells ahead of the cold front. This is all above my pay grade though lol.
That MD/DE map has some flaws in it. While interior and upper portions of the Delmarva away from the coast(and not close to either bay) tend to get more snow locally- 18" or so is about right- places right along the coast are too high on that map. More like 10-12" along the immediate coast, including Lewes. Also that area in NE MD near the bay is exaggerated way too low imo. Easton does not average more snow than Elkton.
Get creative psu. You owe us a poem.
In an attempt to make yet another pointless Tenman thread epic, it has been hijacked.
We are generally keeping the "what went wrong" theme however.
This is true, but let me help you with the rhyming part...
Living in the Mid-Atlantic is what went wrong
Move north where winters are cold and long
Without lots of luck, winters here are brief, and suck
Just to expand the futility area a bit, Philly is at 0.3". Their worst snowfall season was 1972-73, recording a trace.
As of now, this winter would rank second, just ahead of 1997-98, with 0.8".
Latest EPS forecast could very well be "wrong".
Thing is, I simply made a post stating what it is currently depicting, and that it wasn't good. Never claimed it was going to verify. No hitching of wagons.
Now straighten your panties- they be all bunched up.
C'mon. A met as experienced as murky knows the CFS nails these indices far more often than the EPS.
CFS is literally a model of consistency. Almost always verifies. Hardly ever vacillates.
