Ha, that little dot in eastern Howard County is the higher terrain near Howard High School. Gets up to 500-600' on that hill. That's like 2-3mi from my house as the crow flies.
-
18z EPS has the surface low in exactly the canonical spot, ~50mi off OCMD, at 6z Thursday. Don't overthink things. Use the ensembles the way they're supposed to be used for, not agonizing over 5-10mi wiggles in 10:1 snow maps. Going forward now, we can start seeing mesoscale effects like thermal profiles and banding.

Let's do this same thing again in a month with temps 5-10F colder please
-
If there's any time to try and hold onto snow cover, it's 5 days before the solstice...

Mt. Holly hoisted watches

You just want all of us to see how you're in the 20"+ zone

Oops, you accidentally left me off the list!

He's still around some, but lives just across the PA border now.

Present from @mitchnick. 18z GGEM liquid equivalent precip that falls as snow. @mappy jackpot, but all of central and north MD is solid. http://meteocentre.com/numerical-weather-prediction/precipitation-accumulation.php?lang=en&map=qc&run=18&mod=gemglb&hi=000&hf=120&type=SN&mode=latest&yyyy=latest&mm=latest&dd=latest&capa_verif=off

84hr CIPS analogs to the 12z GFS. Some absolute classics on here: http://www.eas.slu.edu/CIPS/ANALOG/DFHR.php?reg=EC&fhr=F084&rundt=2020121312&map=thbCOOP72

I was really confused at first. But the legend at the top works out. Goes Tr-1", 1-3", 3-6", 6-12" in the blues.
-
This isn't bad I think. Gun to head, I'd probably say 5-10" for MBY. I'm pretty close to the boundary between his 6-12" and 3-6".

Flagged as banter

The New England piece of the airmass is definitely arctic. Dewpoints below 0F is a classic sign of that. For us, we have dews in the teens. That's a respectable polar airmass, but nothing super special.
-
CAD being underdone is the one weenie rule that actually works for us most of the time. But keep in mind that’s for surface temps most, not warm layers aloft.
-
What if, hypothetically speaking, you were like 3-5 miles from the fall line and, hypothetically, at like 375’ elevation?
-
I’d say this 18Z Eps is the last run I’d weight as high as the Op. I’ve been saying 0z tonight is my benchmark and we look in tentatively good shape.
-
Temp down to 52. 20F to go!!
-
Looks like I need to measure a hundred feet farther north than usual to tack on another 10"
-
Yeah, not time to diagnose mesoscale features yet and it's hard with the Euro since we don't have skew-t's. Those seemingly inconsistent things usually resolve themselves. Either way, seems like we're generally in a pretty good spot for the CCB to rip. Locations farther N/E most favored. You and @mappy probably get smoked. @showmethesnow and @mitchnick's new house are in absolute prime position.
-
Need the GGEM's thermal profiles and a slower forward speed? For DC to verify WSW, there's going to have to be some CCB snow almost certainly. GGEM would nearly get it done with the WAA snow before mixing.
-
1989-90 waves hello
-
850 looks to be the warm layer. 925 and surface stay below freezing for the duration IMBY. So snow-sleet-snow, which is what I always expected. Definite banding signature on the back end around 6z that moves through to the east after that. But still a pretty nice front end before mixing for many...3-6"?
-
That's banding. Descending air on either wide of the deathband creates warming. Notice the very cold (comparatively) temperatures just east of it. @CAPE and @JakkelWx are turned on by that.

Me driving home from picking up my daughter at 1-115pm Then I saw the Euro when I got home Then I saw the CCB Wednesday evening into Thursday morning
