As @Terpeast and @WxUSAF have often said, worry about thermals inside D5.
-
Yea there's a decent moisture feed with that storm and it looks fairly neutral at 500 mb?
-
Will echo others' sentiment about Jan 2025. My records indicate a total snow depth of about six inches for several days, with a low temperature of 1° twice.
-
Indeed. Unfortunately some folks misinterpret posts like that so I was attempting to add a crumb of context.

Paul Kocin cooked that metaphor up. He gets all the credit.

Yes. To get a Major East Coast Storm, you need multiple ingredients to align. It's like cooking - a phenomenal meal needs to come together almost perfectly.
-
I do not believe so.

Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

Happy birthday @sauss06 -
Slightly reassuring to see the 18z suite of ensembles hold or beef up snowfall.
-
Equally important is the western ridge trending stronger and sharper.
-
No high pressure to the north to impart better cold air advection. Heavier precip rates overcome a marginal profile and turn precip to frozen, elsewhere, it's rain. Very believable.

Until we properly fund NWP, nothing will change. Well just torch all next winter.

Nina's IIRC
-
Yup. From a WPC met. A glimmer of hope?
-
My one goal is to not git 60° in the winter. Looks like that is a pipe dream anymore.
-
Heat and wind overperform here. It's about all we're good at.
-
Torching into the mid 50s.

Poor everyone east of I-81.
-
It's 52 degrees at the Thurmont mesonet site, but 31 at Clarksville. What a temperatures inversion.
-
Additional sites will be: Germantown, Gaithersburg, Chevy Chase, and Laytonsville. While these stations are more compact in size, and therefore able to fit in more urban locations, the limiting factors are: available land partners, cell reception, and open sky for accurate wind measurements and solar charging of batteries.

One of only two Cat 5. NESIS storms. Bonus points if you can name the other one without looking it up.
-
Some local weather news. Montgomery County, as part of a locally funded initiative, will be purchasing some additional mesonet stations. These tripod/compact stations will focus on urban areas to better understand risk from heavy precipitation events and urban heat islands. The plan is to have a density of 6 to 8 miles per station. Equipment has been purchased, with the goal of deploying them this year. All data will be public on the mesonet website once the stations come online. A big day for @wxmeddler

Week of Jan 20th. If we don't have something plausible within 5 days of that, then it's probably game over for even hitting climo snowfall. It's going to be feast or famine during the upcoming favorable window.

JB is a clown. No one should take him seriously anymore.
