  1. Lol...CWG saying accumulating snow "not quite a lock".
  2. Yea the 06z Euro gets hanky with the sleet and zr line. If I were in NC or Southern VA I'd be upset.
  3. Euro insistent on a late Saturday night to early Sunday start time across the area. Precip comes in like a wall in the dead of night.
  4. Yes this is what I want. We all win. Got a link to that product? Yup that was 2/14/14. I remember that well. We got 24" in Damascus, but only 5" in Takoma Park. It was the most intense snowfall gradient I ever witnessed. We took plows from southern Montgomery County and sent them north to help the upcounty roads.
  5. From a climatology/historical perspective, that's insane.
  6. Standard message: for anyone making a briefing package I strongly recommend including a "Created on: [insert date/time here]" and "Do not use for decision making after [insert date/time here". That way people know how stale the information is.
  7. ^wow that would be an incredible way to bust a snow drought
  8. Euro now trying to throw some Pacific moisture into the storm. This is likely why the snow totals are going up. Big moisture feed overrunning a dome of very cold air. Tons of lift, moisture, and cold air.
  9. The whole page: https://www.weather.gov/lwx/winter
  10. For those wondering, there isn't the wind component to verify blizzard warnings. Strong winds aloft come with their own risk, namely crystal destruction that could knock totals down. Just give me cold powder that stacks up.
  11. 12z "traditional" Euro EPS for DCA. Wow.
  12. The 12z "traditional" Euro EPS really upped the ante for Philly. Several double digit hits, and only a few duds (less than 3"). Out of 50 members, I only count 11% (6 members) with less than 3" of snow. Everything else is warning level or better. Again, what a signal from Dr. No at this range.
  13. 18z ICON likely would've been a foot plus from I-70 south if it ran further.
  14. Posting this for our upper Delmarva, northern MD folks. The 12z "traditional" Euro EPS really upped the ante for Philly. Several double digit hits, and only a few duds (less than 3"). Out of 50 members, I only count 11% (6 members) with less than 3" of snow. Everything else is warning level or better. Again, what a signal from Dr. No at this range.
  15. Today we start to cross the HR120 (D5) threshold. Should see the guidance really tighten up over the next 24 hours. Would caution folks here that might result in some extreme solutions getting eliminated and thus, reducing a mean snowfall here or there. That does not mean this is "trending towards a bust", but rather just narrowing towards a better forecast.
  16. For our lower Delmarva / southern MD / VA tidewater folks. Only two 12z Euro AI EPS members have below 10" of snow for Virginia Beach. What an incredibly consistent signal at this range, which is right in the Euro AI EPS's wheelhouse.
  17. Yes @wxmeddlerand I were on a panel he moderated.
