Guess I’ll stick with 2-6” for MBY lol
-
Gfs is about identical for Delmarva and points NE. Naso identical for the rest of us lol
-
Ha, I’m close enough to that I’m still kinda wary of getting caught between the best IVT death band and the coastal CCB. But it’s gonna snow and I’m excited for that .
-
I think that’s solid. But probably the floor? You may be slowly accumulating during the afternoon and early evening while the rest of us stare at 37F white rain or regular rain…
-
Then throw elevation effects into it…

Tough tough forecast. Boom/bust potential is so much higher than normal. The January storm seemed really locked in by the end in comparison. Someone’s going to Jack with the IVT and maybe pull in double digits a short drive away from places with like 2-3”. Still like my 2-6” range but maybe worth inching that up for HoCo/Carroll and points east?
-
I think there’s going to be quite a range of ratios. If you’re in the coastal CCB or the core of the IVT, 10-12:1 probably? Maybe better? Outside of that more like 8:1? But maybe as low as 5:1 in warm spots with poor rates?
-
Thinks that fair. Will NW trends stop now or continue is the big question. What’s nice for the metros right now is that the euro has the best IVT right through the area and the gfs gets us coastal love. So I feel we’re in a pretty good spot. Wish it was 3-5F colder…
-
100% of 4”+ at DCA on it. Caveat 10:1 ratios. But that should still mean a solid 2-4”+ for DC.
-
FWIW, apparently new run of the Graf gets us pretty good. Not gfs good, but good. It was a far east outlier before apparently.

The February 22-23 Late Season Miracle: JV Disco/Banter Thread

Maybe the gfs is the US women’s figure skating of weather models? Been down for 24 years but now going to win??!?! -
^yyyuuppp 2-6” for the metro corridor
-
I’ll take my chances with that
-
It really loves this narrow death band. Better for the coast and areas to our northeast.
-
I like rgem at 36hrs. Better surface and H5.
-
3k has been too dry lately and we know 12k has a wet bias

51/49 excited for my snowstorm -
That looks pretty reasonable to me although maybe questionable for Mt Holly’s area

We don’t speak of March 2013 in Maryland -

Yeah but it’s still improved over 0z. Other guidance is all very good for the beaches. -

WxUSAF replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
I think something like 2-6” is a reasonable call for the metro area right now. More for the beaches. Potentially a screw zone somewhere in between? -

Jan 2011 storm had that pounding ULL snow after dark with similar surface temps. Think it was like 7-8:1 ratios? -

@psuhoffman and RehobOth jackpots. I’d shave like 25-50% off 10:1 depending on location. Still an improved run.
