Yea, I was adding to the facts for when the real/correct number comes out. It was actually 2-3 hours after the snow finished. If they report 7.7" it could be 5" depth 2-3 hours after the snow ended.
Loudest I heard since summer thunderstorms....including the rain at 5AM when many of you had switched to snow. I am not a melter/qpf type person, but I think I was close to 2" total over here as well. I know I was at 1 1/4" just from rain/before the snow.
Rgem even less interaction with a faster forward speed....light snow overnight Friday into Saturday AM. The Icon has a similar low position at this point but is much more juiced and 4MB's lower.
18Z Nam keeping the moisture train slightly open with the Gulf but separate waves. Not really a lot at 500 to suggest any chances of a real phase/Miller A from the SE.
Man, you are so 2015. LOL. Ok, if you want to talk 500H... but the Nam, the Icon and others have held the torch over the last few winters. King Euro would have had my area flooding last summer vs. the actual drought that took place.
@AccuChrisI saw you started some gameday Meso verification and PBP last night and I would have loved to join in on that, one of my favorites parts of this, but during daytime storms :-)
Who is the dethroned King? The Nam is probably in the top 2-3 models for this run with verification starting at 84 hours. It did waver at times as well though.
Last December (2022) was 1-2 degrees BN so may be the reason for the difference. No month has been anywhere near BN this year. Feb is currently about 1.4 higher than last Feb.
Rgem not buying the Gulf opening as much as the Nam but still has that slp headed under us which would probably lead to a light snow if the moisture can hang on.
Re: a few other posts since mine, the Nam does have that second NS Vort seemingly starting to tap some moisture from the Gulf. It is minored out to the point of no specific reflection on the panel but that look "should" continue forward and keep the cold in place for whatever moisture we get over us.
I was going to wait for lunch to shovel but it would have been all gone so I got my workout in this AM. It was heavy but stuck together nicely which helped.
I remember last season changing the King moniker weekly. LOL. With that said, although some of the early extreme snow totals out by the Nam were too high, it definitely got closer to the ground truth than the Caandian and Euro from yesterday.
