Ian Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So the big losers of the night are the Canadian twins and WPC's snow ratio algorithm.GGEM is so worthless this winter. Honestly don't know enough about RGEM but never really look at it. Everyone bit on the ratios heh. We is weenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 you might be too far west, but ot doesnt matter right now because your region is still getting bandedI do know for the Saturday storm we will be weighing the Euro and Ukie heavily. Most of the rest of the models except for the Nam pretty much sucked. The Ukie locked in from 6 days away and never wavered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We is weenies.I wonder what my ratios are, they have to be higher than 10:1. In Boston they say the Rgem has been great this winter but it was horrible down here for tonight.

Ian Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wonder what my ratios are, they have to be higher than 10:1.They'll prob still avg above 10:1 but not a 15:1-20:1 bonanza. You know a storm is going to be good when we spend the last bit inflating with ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know a storm is going to be good when we spend the last bit inflating with ratios.I don't understand ratios very well but i did a lot of reading about it and it seemed we had the perfect setup to get at least 14:1.

ravensrule Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 what's your snow right now? You probably have at least 0.30" liquid3.4" as of 15 minutes ago. So very close to 10:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The greens somehow eluded me a lot but they are here now and it's nice. 0.5"+ph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Only managed to add 0.5" in the last couple of hours... up to 2.5" in Germantown. There's 0.75" on my car since I drove in around 10pm. Must be missing out on the dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I don't understand ratios very well but i did a lot of reading about it and it seemed we had the perfect setup to get at least 14:1. I'll probably end up with 4 here so my best guess for ratios would be the first inch we got was probably 10:1 and the 3 remaining inches would be close to 20:1. I'm assuming the liquid will be .25 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaETC Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The Ukmet crushed this event, though it may end up a tad too wet.... .5" QPF seems reasonable right now, I think that was pretty much what it saw during the 12z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Moderate snow now, this has to be 1" hr stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 So you should end up with at least 5" then. I don't know. The heavier bands are getting up here the last hour. They seem to be staying by you and it looks like we only have a couple more hours. I might get to 4.5. Pretty solid event overall considering all the uncertainty about the northern extent.

Ltrain Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Only 3.4" here and I'm stuck between the 2 greens. I hope I make it to 4" to verify on the low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty solid event overall considering all the uncertainty about the northern extent.This will definitely meet my expectations and with 4 more chances for snow over the next 10 days i am stoked. Plus it will be hanging around for a while. I am curious to see how much below zero i can drop to on Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosj III Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Speak for yourself Seriously though, this is quite an event. A lot of fun to follow. Quite a ride over the last few days. One of the craziest storms to track I can remember. Guidance was all over the places and shifted every run to a totally new solution. Glad that it finally produced a solid storm, even if it isn't the .8" QPF at 20:1 ratios all some of us were hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
