CAPE Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Looking at the 6z Euro snow map(10:1) posted on that other site(per Tombo), looks like 4-6" from DC proper S and SW, same on the lower E shore and S DE, with 2-4" for the rest of the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All joking aside I'm still thinking 3-5" for our area w/ ratios Not gonna lie I'm a little disappointed. I finally got a chance to look over the 6z stuff and after reading all the excitement here I was expecting good things but on the whole there was no improvement for us. Definitely bumped up qpf a lot to our south so if we get that to move north then it's great but if it stayed as is the 6z ribs don't give us anymore snow than the 0z did. Kinda a downer after hearing how good they were but good for D.C. doesnt mean good for northern MD lol. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have a great chance. Even up here I'm hanging my hat on this...very non scientific point...in all my years in both northern VA, MD and PA I've never ever been fringed by a storm that was fringing me at 36-48 hours out. They always shifted north enough to get me from right on the edge to into the goods. When I got fringed was when at 36 hours I was 75 miles out of it and it trended north 50 miles and fringed me. So just by that very basic biased interpretation we should be good here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a slight improvement still , this is going down like last time in some respects but for other reasons already discussed. DC crowd should be happy.

PivotPoint Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I was definitely feeling deb mode last night. Wake up to some improvements. Great to see euro catch on to them as well. I’ve been conditioned to expect worsening towards game time so it’s nice to see the opposite of that for once! Hopefully we can hold serve till tonight’s run then we’re pretty locked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not sure how much value it has at this point, but the 6z EPS looks really nice. As expected at this lead, it supports the op. More impact from the coastal further north than previous runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Climo always wins. Ratios will help the northern Md, PSU crowd catch up despite lower QPF totals. In fact, unless dc sees heavy CCB, I’d bet PSUhoffman sees more snow than the White House lawn because of elevation and overall climo. Looking good for 3-5” area wide after that 6z suite for anybody south of the PA MD border. Hoping 12z continues the north / more amped trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog, you see that 6z Euro QPF distribution? That is exactly where we, and the rest of PWC brotherhood, would want it. Blue blob west of us point east like a crayon rocket ship. We may not max out but we will be in the top tier for this event. Not often that happens. Less often its all snow. Feeling good today...for now at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeesburgWx Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 So Ji and I received 5 inches from the November fluke storm. That is my bar for this storm.

Steve25 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Long time observer, new to replying. Just wanted to thank you all for the constant flow of information! I had a question, I use Tropical Tidbits for my weather models. It's free so it doesn't have access to all the models a lot of you have access to. I'm wondering what sites you use because I'm willing to pay to get an upgrade in that department. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bar is still 3" which seems really likely, would like to get to warning criteria though for a second time this year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East central PWC is the sleet capital of the world. During other all snow events, even at 300 feet asl, we get cruddy mangled flakes. It's not a good snow area. Never is this a max location. My concern is the over-running leaf drifts North into far Northern Virginia all of Maryland and into southern Pennsylvania and we miss out on the initial thump.

Perhaps but that would help psu and the northern crew. I am cool with that. It’s fun when the whole forum is snowing so the obs thread is like a house party.

I saw Kuchera ratio was pretty high out your way. Hoping for that as well! We all need a win - even if it is not the biggest event, we want to maximize on all we get.
