I mean I get looking at all pieces of data/models but to have supposedly the best model in the world giving the area 3-6" inside of 100 hours is what I would want on my side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to an extent...but I have also found over the years that going with the model that shows the least snow often verifies the best, unfortunately. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Icon totally dry with the Saturday threat...but its ok because its really WET with the cutter right after it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 SOOOOOO close! ICON does suck so mostly just having fun until the reliable guidance actually kills our hopes and dreams soon. No idea if its right but IF the Saturday wave does wash out the Sunday wave likely will cut. It was the return flow behind the first wave that kept the second wave south of us. No weaker/south wave 1 goes the further north wave 2 goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it becomes a terrible model like the others. IF it was a cutter, all the models would be showing it. Of course, when it comes to our snow....we get this ridiculous spread from models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only saving grace there would be a stronger Sunday system would increase the chances of snow Tuesday. Always save the best for last!

psuhoffman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Case in point...the ICON has a 1035 high parked over Albany as the Tuesday storm comes in...and forces a thump of snow even though the SLP is cutting to Detroit. With even a slightly ok track it would be a good snowstorm with that antecedent pressure pattern and air-mass. Of course relax that high at all with that track and its simply another cutter all rainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the same thing however if the Saturday wave gets stronger and hits us then most likely the Sunday wave will stay under us but be weak. This scenario would probably yield to a more icy mix deal with the Tuesday into Wednesday deal. I might be willing to roll the dice on a stronger cutter Sunday to open the door for a better midweek solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It holds, a small bump north. DC is literally the northern extent. So a hold from the GFS basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It's weaksauce right now, but at least it's there. The cutter will probably have 4" of rain with river flooding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Guess at this point would be a 50 - 75 or so mile shift north in the last 48 heading in. So, if that were to occur, we would be in a decent spot per the gfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonParkHoya Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The GFS has bumped north and trended stronger with the surface reflection 3 runs in a row. I like where I sit 78 hours out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Quite frankly I think we need to root the opposite way for wave 2...I'm wondering if a cutter solution actually end up being better for the big system we aren't talking about in this thread...
