Yea, I remember when we used to do it. It does make it more time consuming to have to bounce between threads but whatever everyone else likes, I am down with. I never liked the idea of an OT thread as it would die in my opinion.
In addition to what ITT said, some models are only dropping 1/2 to 3/4" this weekend so not a lot of relief from this map. The Euro is dropping .75-1" on the LSV and the CMC is higher so a few variables.
Yea, I think it's a concern as modeled. Let's assume the Canadian's are right and much of PA gets 10-15" of snow....the next two days the temps are near or below normal all day then more snow comes followed by 2-3" of rain. Could have some roof issues as well as streets not being able to move water away fast enough.
True except it is above freezing in the SE corner of the LSV at the surface. Would it actually be above freezing with heavy snow falling? I vote no but that is what the output shows.
You and I are already approaching 10" Kuch at 7PM Saturday. The other great thing about this evolution is less front end mixing concerns for PA or far N MD. Might get some snow TV as the surface is warm but the column seems better.
