    6.5” total down to 19 now

    It started shifting the max qpf north some but not nearly enough but every model missed it.

    There are reports of 8-9” in some isolates spots in south central PA. The 4-8” area ended up starting in extreme NW VA through northern MD border counties north into south central PA. Then the gradient south of that was severe. Those rgem runs we made fun of ended up pretty close actually unfortunately. These kinds of game time NW shifts with these boundary waves make up a large % of our areas busts. This isn’t that rare unfortunately. I always fear a north shift with these type storms.

    It got the structure of the storm it just shifted 30-50 miles north at game time and every model missed that even the rgem which was right then went south with everything else lol. So I dunno how to grade that. I might be low because I’m measuring 6” but some of the early stuff might have compacted and it’s windy up on this ridge so that makes it hard.

    I got 6” here a couple miles south of the PA line between Hanover and Manchester.

    21/19 6” exactly. Still snowing lightly. Might be one more band to go. Im sorry this didn’t work out further south. I am grateful for events like this when my elevation and latitude help. Makes the commute worth it. And it is legit nice up here in summer when it’s the 80s with a breeze when it’s 94 in Baltimore lol.

    The best banding just shifted NW which isn’t unusual with these type waves, unfortunately even at the last minute. We’ve had several busts just like this. But my area up into PA did get 4-8” the dryer models didn’t have that. No model for this right. One of the rgem runs as it started to correct but before it over corrected was probably the closest.

    It’s symbiotic because the banding sets up where the thermal boundary is

    4.8” 24/23

    26/25 4.2" snowing moderate right now between heavy bands

    I moved up here, found a house on top of a mountain at about the highest elevation east of the blue ridge/catoctins and commute an hour to work so I feel like I earned it.

    You have a band heading your way in 15 mins

    28/27 2.75” new. Snowing about 1.5-2”/hr now
  15. psuhoffman
    You’ve been stuck between the southern sliders and the storms where the NW area gets hit. I think it’s just been an incredible run of bad luck. There isn’t any reason I can see. Geography hadn’t changed. Over the long run it should even out. Eventually you’ll get some storms where you jack and dc only gets 3” and it evens out.

    The band up here doesn’t shock me. It’s where everyone had the max snow. But as of yet I don’t see much where the h85 fgen banding was supposed to be along 95 or east of there depending on the run. That’s just MIA so far.
  17. psuhoffman
    My bigger concern for 95 isn’t the temps it’s the angle of the precip and where the banding sets up.

    It takes really heavy snow to fill in the radar in that area!
  20. psuhoffman
    Here it comes

    If temps don't start to drop soon that area could have to have their snowfall cut. Could be the second worst cut that area's experienced...
  23. psuhoffman
    We're counting on you

    We are also in much better shape WRT ratios this time. I can tell the lift is aligned with the DGZ better because even right now as I am in a lull between that initial band that shot out ahead along the boundary and the one coming in from the SW associated with the mid level forcing... its still big nice sized flakes. Last time we had those stupid needles that don't pile up at all.
  25. psuhoffman
    Last time the H7fgen shot up into western PA then got crushed by the flow as it tried to continue NE. This time its sliding ESE with the front and will intersect the h85 forcing along northern MD and southern PA.
