I was thinking most post maps showing radar/actual weather as of the time stamp re: the actual predicted radar/ground conditions at 12Z if the map is stamped 12Z. I thought the Pivotal maps I post are equivalent to a radar image/composite panel re: I think this is where the EC was predicting snow to be occurring at this time frame. I know on TT there are separate panels for radar and not, but I do not see that option on pivotal. The highlighted line below suggests to me this map is equivalent to a radar map. I could definitely be wrong but this was how I always took those maps. Until now I did not notice that the maps Blizz posted from WB were not time stamped radar maps.

Icon is a little less....10:1 actually higher in the LSV but here is the Kuch. LSV temps are near 32 for much of the snow so a little lower than 10:1 in the LSV.

Looks similar through 36. ICON PBP magic.

Rgem much slower than the other 12Z's so far. It does not start in the LSV until 6Z Sat Am and continues until about noon Sat.

It was showing that at 6Z as well but actually has a high MB at 12Z for the same time slot.

The Icon will be here to cheer us up shortly.

Central MA rejoices in the Nam12. 1-3 for Southern PA except higher in the Laurels. 3K has a few Lollies in the LSV just over 3 but mostly 1-3 as well for the majority of Southern PA. This is pivotal Kuch. WB will be higher.

I have seen a lot of depictions for tomorrow starting the precip as rain. So JB's 30-1 will not be applying at the start :-). NAM has it raining here at 7PM.

HRRR starts it around 6-7PM at MDT.

Runs the low over NC. Two very divergent camps with the other camp running the low not far below the M/D line.

King (Queen?) HRRR is rolling out right now so all questions and predicts will be solved shortly. it is advertising some snow today for @pawatch and gang.

I was actually looking to see how we compared with last year. 326 pages so far vs. 250 for the whole winter in 22-23.

I did not notice this until now...the forgotten winter thread?

3-4 for much of the 2/3 southern side PA. Sorry about any confusion I more meant little to nothing in MD so PA was the winner.

Not exactly great for us....

Not sure we need another snow map but RRFS is a PA darling with little snow M/D and south.

I just finished typing and there it is, from bullseye to spit in the eye.

Chris78, Paxpatriot and Double D's as well. Let's see where the heavy hit zone moves to at 12Z. LOL. As of now I am planning on being up at 6AM and shoveling.

Speaking of ratios, JB said up to 30-1.

I guess it comes down to two types of maps. I use the radar maps on TT but I see where you got the one you posted so WB probably has equivalent maps as well. Here is what I see at hour 54.

I do too...hoping this slows them down some.

They are just not what most other sites do with similar maps. Maybe WB has similar maps to the other sites. It really does not matter to the end result, but people use the maps/panels to determine start/end times and that is why I noticed this week...I am hoping the snow is done before daytime Sat. The other 2 sites I can view the EC have the snow totally shut off here at 7AM (or very close on Piv.)

19 here. Going to scare all those flowers poking up early again. Will not be as bad this year as last hopefully.

12Z Sat AM 0Z EC Maps on two other sites do not look like the map above. WB must be showing an average of a period instead of precip shield location at that time stamp. Surprised no one ever noticed this before. That must be what "6h qpf by type means".....6 hr average? Here is pivotal again to compare. The "L's" are the same but the shield is not.
