    Go with the mesos at this range
  2. Ralph Wiggum
    Pretty much as expected all the meso models are initializing better and seeing the bump N as we get closer. NAM 3k, RAP, HRRR, SREFs.

    Snow has tapered here and .5" in Ivyland for the total
  4. Ralph Wiggum
    Funny with that piece of guidance....was the farthest North a few days ago and now the farthest South.
  5. Ralph Wiggum
    Just a side note....those totals out in the midwest are crazy. This thing is juicing up as it gets closer.

    I'm not sure it's the fronto forcing that lifted north or if it is the effects from this new coastal development. Shame it can't stall out under the block or crawl at least

    18z gfs delivers the goods. Seeing a different evolution to the system now with a quasi phase and coastal redevelopment. Interesting changes in regards to the confluence allowing some room for the system to breathe and not shear.

    Closing in on a half inch in Ivyland. Snow has gone from moderate to light now.
  11. Ralph Wiggum
    Much better.
  12. Ralph Wiggum
    Snow has really picked up here moderately in Ivyland and is accumulating on the deck, car top, gravel drive. Temp down to 34F
  13. Ralph Wiggum
    Methinks we are going to like the NAM
  14. Ralph Wiggum
    Flakes are flying in Ivyland. 35F

    Looks like she's gonna trend N. Lobe over Maine was way overmodeled
  16. Ralph Wiggum
    She's coming North.

    Interesting to see this band of snow squalls verify much farther N than progged. A few folks mentioned this system will set the path for the 1/6 system to travel. I wonder if the confluence has been overmodeled and we shouldn't be surprised to see the Monday system jump N?

    Let me know what the gefs say and I'll consider tracking

    And this is precisely why nobody should claim victory or failure too prematurely. This is a rather delicate setup and it will not take much at all to turn this into a pleasant surprise for some.

    I just deferred to my wife and she confirmed adamantly that she too would be thrilled getting at least 3 inches. I really hope she was talking weather...pretty sure
  21. Ralph Wiggum
    Yeah that's a notable jump....maybe the NAM scores a win?

    Also have to wait for the actual system to develop near Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon. Usually a crapshoot until the main player is actually on the map. We've seen some significant swings historically in these situations. Jan 96 was the biggest where 48bhrs before the system finally came together then guidance bumped the heaviest banding N 100 miles. It happens. Eta: I am not comparing this system to Jan 96 just using that banding shift as an example

    We all still get accumulating snow. And that's the odd part about popping into some other subforums South of us...almost everyone will see accumulating snow but people are in some sort of panic. Guess ppl are banking on the heaviest banding. That's always the bonus jackpot. But just adding onto seasonal totals is a win in my book. Take what you can get and never be disappointed with accumulating snow.
  24. Ralph Wiggum
    Usually in overunning situations like this where we are waiting for the system to actually develop guidance bounces all around. Once this gets going around Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon is when we should finally have some sort of realistic concensus. We are playing the windshield wiper game still with that heavier fronto band and we just can't know N , S , or center yet.
  25. Ralph Wiggum
    We won't get shutout but we won't hit the jackpot clearly. Mid Atl turn and that is fine. Just get me a few inches Monday to fill my fix for now
