I NEVER care to nitpick.
I only pray that the models evolve to a December 1962 or 2009 pattern.
I highly doubt this but a La Nada pattern gives me 20 inches compared to 10 inches...............
I understand that the chart is only a snapshot in time, but folks new to this hobby need to understand that we usually do better with a trough axis to our west (Ohio Valley).
Case in point, the 18z GFS drops a 2 - 5 inch swath of snow across Virginia on Dec. 9 with a weak trough axis back over the western Ohio Valley.
Thanks Cape
Yeah, the 06z A1 does look interesting! I hadn't looked at it today. A little beef up in stead of back down. Surface is marginal in mid 30's but 850's look good at minus 4! When will the 12z be available?
Happy Snowfall to all the DC Snowgeese!!!. I had 1/4 inch in a squall yesterday evening.
Today is very unusual for 11/22 and is a perfect illustration that under the right atmospherics in 1965, 1985, 2005 or 2025............................. It is going to snow on the D.C. region on Nov . 22.
This is not supposed to be possible on Nov. 22! ............................ Keep hoping for the right atmospherics which will always deliver for you............................
You will generally witness a 4 degree drop per 1000 ft. elevation. My snowfall observation through the past 40 years says 3 inches per 1000 ft..
I have a lot of experience comparing 1800 ft. to 2800 ft .
According to the GFS/ECMWF, your backyard at 2500 ft. will probably get a foot.
At Snowshoe, the elevation will likely create whiteout conditions with wind, fog and blinding snow.
Nice weather thru Monday.......................... The rest of the week should be wild with a combination of heavy mountain snow showers, lowland showers and windy conditions.
As I posted a few weeks ago. All weak Nina's have produced below normal snow for my area back to 1950 except 1964 - 65 which was .50" above normal with 24.50".
After a very cold low of 21.8 this morning....................... A high of 48.......................................
Close to an inch of rain in the offing thru Friday.
Maybe 2 inches of snow in northern Highland above 3500 ft.
Wow!! What a difference a day makes for qp potential from noon Thursday - 9 am Friday.
My 3 model blend has increased from .26" at 2 pm yesterday to .95" 2 pm today.
ECM 1.24", GEM 1.07", GFS .53"................. I'll take it after .10" in the past 40 days.
Jan 3, 2022- 8 inches of snow and drifting.
Jan 7, 2022 - 3 inches snow.
Jan. 17, 2022 - 8.5 inches snow.
Jan. 28 - 1.3" snow
Feb. 13 - 2.0" snow
March 12 - 3.0" snow
21-22 gave me above normal snowfall !!
How about this, guys?
