Interstate Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Eyeballing off the map, it's probably 0.4-0.5"? Then some sleet and FZRA. So when does LWX extend the WSW for all northern counties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks like about 4-5" not bad. Looks like I'll be listening to Pandora while plowing Pandora! it looks like a much more menacing storm that Tuesdays Turd. At least we could see some heavy periods of snow and then some ice to mess things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Pretty darn good run for <36 hours. Guidance has been crazy consistent that most keep the column through about 0z give or take and hour or 2. Precip looks solid on the nam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The sleet and ice is a very import part of the pack sandwich to protect it until temps drop sunday night. I love a good glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If this all pans out correctly... It is going to be a fun few daylight hours of snow... hard and heavy. I cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ~0.4" frozen at DCA until 36, and then in the following three hours we get 0.3" plain rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I know it is a Saturday storm. But with the potential of 5 or more inches in the northern counties... Why hasn't LWX raised WSW... They can always back them back to WWA. We are well within the time frame for a WSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 by 00z...60 qpf frozen has fallen at JYO and temps will below freezing(upper 20s) 850 and 900 are a tad toasty....if it's heavy I guess it can stay snow...we need rates!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Eyeballing off the map, it's probably 0.4-0.5"? Then some sleet and FZRA. Thank you, sir. The WTF storm looks to be our best yet. Not too worried about ice/rain after. A day of daytime snow works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 One thing for sure, no way is this a pixie dust sand storm. We could even see some white asteroids as the midlevels warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I am all in on several inches of daytime snow on a day I have off with some ice on top to seal it. Let's bring this home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the saying, heaviest snows come where you can smell the rain? I think we will be smelling the rain lol. And I hope NWS doesn't give us a warning because everytime they have, it never turns out well and gets downgraded anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDIII Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The NAM looks like a front of some sort with a heavy band of snow moving through. Then it gets cold again.. so any liquid that falls will just glaze over the snow. I am REALLY looking forward to some daytime snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pityflakes Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What do the red targets/regulars think about the timing of the 850 and BL 0 C line advancement depicted by the models? I've heard that models under estimate persistence of CAD here but this isn't CAD. Yet this is also pretty unprecendented and fresh cold being displaced, but if you've lived in the plains you know that even extremely cold air isn't that hard to move if there is no downstream blocking. To me I think the models could be off by 4-6 hours on either side. Or do people think the models have a good handle on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 High res is a smacking. Sick rates at 1pm. Widespread 6"+ if the column holds. Limited rain as well. Hopefully that trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
