87storms Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 if the cad stays intact longer and is better than advertised, then the backside of this system could work out. there's still plenty of precip around when temps start to crash. it might just be a matter of how far they need to crash to changeover to snow. i'd be pretty interested in this if i was the northern tier since there's a better chance of the cad holding on longer. dc/bmore need some work.

Precip departs between 18z-19z so it supports a period of back end snow, although rather light (<.1 QPF). Could be some nice snowtv though as the arctic front comes through. that's what i'm thinking. if we can change back over a few hours earlier than the gfs is showing, there might be enough precip to work with to make things interesting.

I never felt like my yard stood a chance on this so it's easy to just let it happen and move on. If precip races out in front fast enough it might be pretty to look out the window for a couple hours then close the blinds when it flips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not really upset about this one...never liked it much once it became obvious what the setup was...but its still a bit frustrating to miss one storm just to the south and now another just to the north. When this week if over a snowfall map is going to have a pretty depressing hole over my house. I know no one in DC will sympathize with that but I am not used to being in the snowhole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah, every single time I've been on the southern edge, it's jumped north at the last minute and ended up busting. Recent examples are October 2011, early Feb 2014, March 2017, and even the first round in March 2018 (though the second round compensated nicely). So yeah, the UKMET and ICON are a big reach here.

I dunno...euro just pulled the rug out completely...it pretty much starts as liquid anywhere south of the MD line now. No back end either. Pretty significant shift north with 12z. The 1-2" of snow south of the PA line on the euro map is from tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo argues for this type of stuff. Plus they are way overdo for it. I drove in Southern NY state all the way up to Lake George was bare grass. It is their turn. But like PSU said, stinks being in the middle of two storms. There is an area now that will have cashed in on neither. Feel kind of bad for Philly.

The best place to be @ 48-72 hours is just to the NW of the heavy snow. Riding the mix line at 48-72 hours has been a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mix line ended up verifying a good bit NW of what was originally thought just 2 days out. The WAA snow was heavier/wetter than we expected because of it but the shift NW is what put us in the jackpot zone. Pretty good tradeoff for most of us.
