12/10-11 Disco / Obs - Rain/Snow/Wind Event
NorthArlington101 replied to nj2va's topic in Mid Atlantic
Yeah, I've noticed that its not exactly frigid. We're relying on timing and rates if anyone wants to actually measure something, especially outside our favored spots. I'd be down to see 2-3 hours of moderate snow with a slushy coating on the grass regardless though. Been a long time. -

Good to know that I'm not crazy. Looking at it almost made me think we could back into something here... too bad its the NAM at 60. -

3k is in. What was exciting to me was seeing better offshore development from the LP... I'm not dumb enough to think there is any chance this goes crazy, but I have to imagine a redeveloping low in our primo spot cannot hurt? I'd assume that helps to keep precip around after the cold pushes in. Also doesn't hurt that it flips to snow faster on the 3k -

FWIW - EPS is a tick up. 50th Percentile Standard Mean -

Temps are never good at the surface, to be clear. 850s are good - imagine everything but the surface would support scenic snow for folks who want to set their alarms for 3-4am. -

Basically identical to 06z. -

EURO is holding serve with a flip to flakes at the end. -
I always go by best ABV for my buck, but I'm thrifty.

12z GFS. Precip cuts off faster/isn't as intense on the backside as the NAM. -

I've been straying away from looking at the means of the ensembles as they are super easily skewed. WxBell as a new tool as of this year (I think?) that displays the 10th/25th/50th/75th/90th percentile of snow accums for an event based on the ens. It's not as sexy as the ens mean, but this is first flakes for most and a "legit" first event out west. And it's improving run-over-run. EURO ens not as generous, fwiw. -
Yeah that’s right — probably a little less, but the mean is basically useless since that one member drops a foot. This the 50th percentile. Prob more accurate sadly.
-
Quite the spread lol. Was hoping the individual members had like a consensus on a “T-2” event rather than a 0”-2’. Don’t think those ever work out.
-
GEFS also coming in improved… maybe we’ll wake up to an interesting EURO for favored zones?
-
Kuchera? Weak stuff. I wouldn’t be expecting anything to accumulate anyway unless I lived on a mountaintop anyway so I’ll pretend it’s all 10:1.
-
00z GFS was a step in the right direction. Most look like they flip to flakes.
-
RGEM doesn’t agree. It’s over
-
Well the GFS pops the trailing low, at least more than in previous runs from what I can tell, but doesn’t really seem to matter.
-
GFS looks like a no-go for Sun/Mon, FWIW
-
EURO OP and Control are outliers (more snow) compared to the ens but very slight ticks up from 00z -> 6z -> 12z for the area in general for Sunday/Monday. Better in favored spots, obviously
-
This was the storm where Tim Kaine and others were stuck on I-95 for ~2 days. Think there was almost a foot and a half down in SE MD/Fredericksburg area.
-
take a 2 run comparison of the GEFS for what it's worth but a lot more pop a trailing low this go-around.
-
Pretty solid 2-4” for I-81 corridor… favored spots closer by get a little something. I’m so desperate to see some snow that it might almost be worth a trip out that way if it came to fruition [emoji51]
