Did not find them yet, but you pointed me in the right direction. That is exactly what I needed, well that plus a and a nice 12 hour siesta.

Wonder if the GFS/UKMET temp profiles are the way to go here. There is just no low level cold feed into the storm. Starting to think the NAM is creating all the snow through pure dynamics as it has the best H5 look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think the NAM is creating all the snow through pure dynamics as it has the best H5 look. It is, the omega values on the 700mb charts are rather similar to the event in October. That, plus the precipitation occurring at night in early December makes it seems plausible, at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Wow, this is one heck of a piece of energy at 500mb. I have the distinct feeling the NAM is to wound up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sorry, tired as Eskimo Joe. I meant rest of the year. I learned to dread Ninas after the ice festival that was the 2008-2009 winter. I'm thinking something like this is possible with this storm. Maroon: T-2" Black: 2-6" Orange: 4-8" Purple: Possible Jackpot zone. 6-12" + The colors just south of the jackpot zone is open for debate. Depends on how much WAA affects that region. If anything, my confidence is lending more towards a souther solution so if anything these totals could shift further south. Hope you guys like the map, it is just a guestimate at this time Edit: Since the NAM has such a sharp cutoff, the totals I have might not work out for places in SW PA like PIT.

JamieOber Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I am a bit surprised there is such a tight cutoff to the northwest - what's the reason for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I am a bit surprised there is such a tight cutoff to the northwest - what's the reason for that? It will probably spread out. We been seeing tight cut offs but, when the event comes it is more spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I am a bit surprised there is such a tight cutoff to the northwest - what's the reason for that? With this storm sliding off the coast and wrapping up so quickly, it doesn't surprise me to see such a tight gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Not really. For example 18z run has 9z freezing mark wedged all the way down to the Mason Dixon line 0z run its all the way up in the Pocono's Pretty significant shift IMO....especially when its the cold outlier of the model world.

Talking about the surface? It is colder where precip is falling. Still around 32-33 where it is snowing. Warmer elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I remember this from the last several storms. The storm turning more east is causing precip gradient to tighten. It will def. probably be tight. Not a good setup for IPT, UNV and AVP...but PERFECT for MDT East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 For once, AVP and Hazleton are actually on the right side of the gradient here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Storm starts going to town at HR 48. 1008mb low over central North Carolina, with moderate to heavy precip starting to break out on the NW side. Energy at 500mb continues to close off, open back up but the longwave trough has clearly taken on a neutral tilt. At 850, the zero degree isotherm is setup right along I-81.
