Not sure any model nailed the temp bust today. My theory would definitely be overdoing the effect of the snowpack. I'm hoping the Capital Bikeshare bikes can be freed from their glaciers soon so I'll root for some melting.
I think you can be a snow weenie without being a cold weenie. I want it to stick around for 3 days. Then I don’t really care. It’s nice looking, but I’m cold!
HRRR is doing something funny at the end of its run. Entertaining for the SEMD/Delaware crew. Almost surely a hallucination though. Worlds apart from other guidance
12k is def HRRR like with the best stuff rolling through Cville - actually a fairly impactful little band. 3K says it hopes everyone likes .5". But both are improved
This is gonna be a weak little system. Would be nice to get a consensus for a 1" strip somewhere but it may never happen. Might just need to wait til the day of and see.
Every model has their strengths and weaknesses. The Euro apparently can’t handle sleet/freezing rain. The 3k is bad at WAA precip total. The GFS isn’t a functional model. Gotta use your tools right.
Clipper after clipper. I can deal with it
They aren’t gonna perform well with mesoscale details but I’d be okay trusting its general output at this range. Whether it’s .05 or .15 of snow is a minute detail that I would trust it to grasp atp
