WVclimo Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 My yard rides the .20" QPF line on 18Z. 0.40" is 25 miles south. Good measuring stick to track trends over the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP08 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Total precip. Accumulating snow is northern Stafford county and up five or take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 GFS looks better but looking at precip panels, I thought it was going to be more a 4-6 hit rather than a 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydreb Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Looks like 2-4/3-6 type deal. Would probably go 2-4 inside the beltway with potentially higher amounts in the western burbs. As depicted on GFS the storm will be a quick hitter and may start as rain in some areas. Snow may not stick at onset which may keep accumulations down in the UHI.

The Euro is a 4-6 type deal, slightly higher in some parts. The GFS is more 3-5 for now, with some localized higher totals. Overall, pretty decent agreement at this range.

I’m with you. You and I are both looking for the warning snow. Maybe some time to juice it up a smidge more? Eta: or just ride the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely need a thump if we are going to get good accumulation. Moderate to heavy snow for 4-6 hours would do it. Light to moderate for 12 hours would look very different on the ground IMO 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Really good consistency between the Euro and GFS + being 72 hours out should increase the confidence for the area. Obviously 25-50 mile shifts either way have a big impact on totals. I'll be in McHenry for President's Day weekend skiing so would be happy with 4-6" of fresh powder Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically 6-8 hours it appears, with about 0.40-0.50" QPF looking at DC area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus temps would be just cold enough to make the side roads snowy but the main roads should be passable. So a bit of a nuisance to get around but not crippling for the holiday travel (not that crippling would be bad but sometimes it’s nice to be able to get around!)

nj2va Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 FV3 also bumped north but QPF not as robust as the old GFS in NVA/DC. Like where we sit right now given the Euro/GFS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
