I would take my chances with this in mid January. A low tracking from the Gulf coast to off of the NC coast should deliver a very good front end snow to mix dependent on the exact final track.
-
Very strange depiction indeed on the 12z Euro. It somehow jumps the low from Tennessee to Toledo, OH this run. Long way to go
-
In the words of Casey, “Here is your request & dedication…” For me, it would be more snow!
-
The GFS still has a storm chance a few days later on the 16th.
-
The Canadian is still really trying for front end snow this Friday night into Saturday.
-
Good catch! The models have each shown a random run or two the last few days showing how we could score at least a solid front end next weekend. We still have time, but need good trends overall on the models today. This ICON run would be nice.
-
Rates backed off & back to light rain, but it made it feel Wintry with the snow cover this morning.
-
Light rain has switched over to snow now in Marysville with flake size increasing.
-
The GFS likes the period just after next weekend on the 16th with a storm tracking to our southeast.
-
We still have the chance for a little front end snow next weekend, but most models have storm cutting for the lakes & bringing good snow to the Midwest. Still time for changes, but the best hope with this storm next weekend is to improve the front end with a flatter track that doesn’t gain much as much latitude.
-
Yes, they got it right with the 3.3” of snow for yesterday at MDT officially with the Overnight final Daily Climate Summary. Lol, I didn’t go down to the airport!
-
0z GFS is close for the 16th but it fizzles this run as it moves a little further east , but the potential is there.
-
The 0z Canadian looks really interesting for next weekend for at least some front end snow for much of CTP.
-
Great, thanks for the response! Hopefully the full accurate measurement for MDT gets recorded for the event on the final Daily Climate Summary overnight.
-
Lol, I just want to have someone kindly ask the question to confirm that they got it right.
-
Speaking of reported totals, do you have any way to contact CTP to ask them about MDT’s snow total today?
-
Yes, they were at 33 for much of the heavy snow. I would be ok with a little under 10-1, but 2.0 of snow on .42 of precip is less than 5-1 ratio. A snow total with a 3 in front of it would understandable, but not a 2.0.
-
The CTP website says daily climate summary as of 5 pm. I see that you are a Meteorologist & your name sounds familiar. Do you work for the National Weather Service? If you have any contacts at CTP, I would love to know if this is their official total for MDT or will they adjust it tonight with the final Daily Climate Summary overnight?
-
Also, more fake news is the snow depth of 0 at 5 pm!
-
Looking at the minute to minute MDT observations, they reported snow until 5 pm. Visibility started to rise after 4 pm so there was likely mixing, but still there is no way they only had 2 inches of snow.
-
@canderson @Coop_Mason or anyone else on here with social media…. I think in the past, one of you reached out on Facebook or Twitter to ask about MDT’s snow total. I really need to know how they recorded only 2.0 inches of snow today through 5 pm on .42 of precip. The “exact” 2.0 is suspect as well…
-
I’m not on Twitter or Facebook, but it would be great if someone could reach out to them to inquire about their total. This is what goes in the books when we look back & things like this mess up the yearly tallies. A couple of inches of snow here or there add up over time. If it wasn’t 10-1 that’s fine, but I’m sure they had at least 3 inches or so at the minimum.
-
I’m seriously considering calling them to inquire.
-
This is an absolute joke…! How in the heck did MDT only record 2.0 inches of snow today at the 5 pm summary. They had .42 of precip through 5 pm. Did someone look out of the air traffic control tower & phone in to CTP & say, “it looks like 2 inches Bob”!?!??! Hopefully this gets corrected on the official oversight daily summary. There is absolutely no darn way they had 2 inches of snow MDT on .42 of precip.

5.1” of snow in Marysville. Sleet has been mixing with snow in the last 15 minutes.
