That’s amazing. I had 6” from the 1/30/10 storm and then another 5” from the 2/3/10 event. I don’t think I would have had snow over ahead of the big storm without the nice snowfall a couple of days before.
Yeah, that's why it is in the banter thread. It was whiplash to wake up and open the Euro and seeing that, and then coming here to see all of the optimism about the storm this weekend. But it does look like the Euro is on an island in terms of temps.
Looking at CoCoRahs data, it looks like the total precip was roughly 0.5" to 1.0". So, several of the models really busted high on the QPF, setting aside any question about snow maps.
I feel like if you see something anomalous, you want a pretty good model consensus to go that way.
And never trust the RGEM if it is doing something stupid.
The GFS has been showing precip along the cold frontal passage at the edge of the arctic airmass at 6-7 days. Those can be squall-y and fun if it comes together right. Something to keep an eye on.
Certainly is colder than many of the models thought for this morning. 26.2 here.
Two day total of 3.2" snow and 0.38" precip, the last 0.05" was ice.
CoCoRaHS two-day reports
00z Euro is a dud for next weekend’s storm. 500 doesn’t look as good and the storm pops late and is weak.
Would love to hit on this storm, even if minor, and then have the Arctic chill follow it.
