    Lol I've seen we've digressed into talking about '58 here. Just take your 16" inches and be happy. .... clearly too many weenies for breakfast. Nothing about this says Hecs, this is modeled as a reasonable Mecs. I dont think the low is deep enough. No wonder these storms always fall short of expectations when the expectations rise of the granddaddy of all PA blizzards-- what do you expect. 

    I think the Para shows a nice solution however I think the gradient will be further south and tighter. Realistically there will be some dry slotting and probably a crust of sleet at some point. Somebody will probably see 20 to 22" out of this but you'd have to be color blind to see 50" on any of these maps!! 

     

     

    Welp...

    There is literally 50 inches on some of these runs.

    A few weeks ago we laughed at 40 inches and whilst the placement was wrong...up by Binghamton saw that.

    The intense moisture feed off the Atlantic will likely help someone achieve some ridiculous totals.  Maybe not 50...but someone could double up that 16.

    I think this smells Hecsish, but of course mileage may vary at any one location.

    The warm air would come above 850mb, probably at 750-800mb. The 850 low track looks good so the warmth would come above that layer. 

    That being said, the way the NAM evolves it could mean we all have an insane front end thump then sleet when the precip tapers down. By 9z there's a dryslot coming in. 

    Front end thump is the real game for city on east right now IMO.

    Is there any source for this national park thing or is that just hearsay

    It was true...not sure if they found someone new or on the PA side.  I received an inquiry if I was interested but I often work long hours in north Jersey.  I’ve lived in National Park since 2011, before that in Woodbury.

    Yea..the 96 dump is not accurate. Measured liquid.

    for years the measurements were on a roof of a building!!

    noaa decided to move phl measurements across the river to a private house!! National park nj!

    This was true for many years, not sure if it still is. I know they were trying to find a new observer at one point. I live in National Park (no I’m not the observer). The western part of our town is just the river’s width away from PHL.  We are probably quite representative of ground truth on the eastern part of airport property but from what I remember there was no suitable location on that part of the airport.  It often differs from some of the unofficial obj in center city, but generally what I experienced at my location jives pretty nicely with the airport. I think there was one storm that the back edge of a band we were in never made it across the river. I’m frequently not in town or I mighta done the obs and don’t trust others to faithfully follow the measurement protocols.  I’ve still never come across who the observer was from my town.  Lol y’all probably sent the person into observer witness protection.
