Whoever wrote it is very good at hitting on the science, for us weenies that want it, while making it easily readable for the general public. Excellent write up.
Anything over 8 inches is a pain in the ass now that I am an old man. Pretty nasty warning for the southern Shen Valley. up to 5 inches with a half inch of ice on top. Glacier maker according to their mets.
...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON SUNDAY TO 7 PM EST
MONDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow
accumulations between 1 and 5 inches and ice accumulations up to
four tenths of an inch.
Its a beatdown. It has a nasty dryslot and drives the primary up into central WV. But this is right at that point. No clue what it would do with the ULL after this. But a serious hit on the front end. And should make the northern crew feel a little better.
Cant remember the last time I had a squall drop a half inch that didnt melt within a few hours. Nice going into the next event with snow already on the ground.
I honestly dont know how anyone can panic about 4 inches of cold powder that will be on the ground for weeks. Also with another threat just days away after this one. We have a chance at a historic January here.
I am up in Winchester. So I am not out of the game. But I would certainly prefer a combo of the Euro/UK over the American models. I think you all are sitting pretty to be honest. And glad for the southern Shenandoah Valley. You guys are due.
Also at 51 the GFS is closed off at 500 in KY and the UK is not. So the GFS is trying to drive the surface low north. The UK is not. Crazy the difference this close to the event.
