Agreed. As it stands now, is we score on 1/4 it would be a boom scenario. We do have decent cold air arriving from a fresh source region with this event, so it would not take a lot for us to score a decent advisory-level event.
Quite anxious to see the 12z Euro, EPS, and GEFS come in. We might have the first legit winter window in several years opening up before our eyes here.
These charts are a great illustration of the dichotomy between the OP and ENS of each model past D5. There's wild swings in the OP, the the ENS are pretty lockstep.
Going to be honest, we're trying for our first Garrett County mesonet site in Bittinger. It would be great if we can get the concrete poured 12/30 and the equipment install finished on 1/6. That would give everyone on this site additional surface data in western Maryland. Hopefully we can squeeze this in before things get snowy.
