Even the Mon/Tues was a mix bag. Favoring warner side of temps mostly as well. Ugh. Hopefully later models will turn that around. Most days, it depends on the forecaster. Woody! used to be the worst.

They upped the wintry precip chances to likely on Saturday so their confidence increased a bit after the 12z runs. Temps look marginal to begin the event so I'm sure they'll be mixing somewhere, so seems like a reasonable forecast at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many close and good breweries with big windows in any direction nowadays, that I'm not worried. With it being 60 the day before, I do wonder about accumulations, though...But we need a shift north--right now we've only got about 11 inches on the year. And with next week's system not seeming to get any colder atm...we may need every inch we can get!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antecedent warmth can be easily overcome with proper rates. Mid Feb sun angle combined with barely freezing temps will be harder to overcome. Better start early and better thump. I know I am screwed, as usual, with light rates that will lead to wet streets and sloppy trashcan lids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re specific problem is downaloping. That will make rates lighter and cloud over thinner which makes you more susceptible to radiation issues. I’ve lived in a valley shadow effect area before in PA I know what it’s like. But that’s a local problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Snow Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 ICON is a rain to snow type deal verbatim. Looks like accumulations would be rate dependent. It is further north than its 12z run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Id take 3-5 for the heart of Maryland and run with it! Euro is holding strong, which I guess is the best model to have on our side.

jayyy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 And good grief, stop with the sun angle nonsense. How many times does it need to be 50-60 one day, snow the next and stick for people to stop with this nonsense? It’s the heart of winter for us. If temps are 30-31 and it’s snowing, it’ll stick.

Precip reaches further north a bit May have to suffer through rain but my experience is it will quickly go to snow. Unless it’s way north. Accumulation is another story. Not sure about that.

Maybe. If it's 30-31 and not snowing that hard during the day and it's 60 the day before, it's going to have a tough time sticking any time of the year, much less this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on rates. Light snow is not sticking this time of year during the day at 31F. Good rates will overcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going warm. Even if moisture makes it into their southern PA and SNJ zones they are thinking snow to rain with maybe an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydreb Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 GFS and Euro say the same thing and we are 72 hours out. Normally I’d feel pretty good about it except with this one the strip of snow is so narrow that small shifts would make a big difference IMBY.
