pawatch Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This system looks like a real mess. Could we get lucky for once and get some snow. NWS is calling for 1-1.5" of rain up here with a narrow swath getting 2-4" of snow. I would imagine that would probably be elavation dependent. 14 mph steady wind yesterday with 39mph gust.

GrandmasterB Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Looking at that low track you’d think we would have a chance at some snow. The Euro track is about perfect for the central/southeast crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hey guys serious question bc I’m not smart at weather, it looks like we have decently strong low in central and northern VA but GFS shows pretty paltry precip north of low. Is this due to a high or something causing it to dry up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the frozen will be a thin stripe on NW periphery of qpf field until it gets further north through NNJ and into NE where it can get into colder airmass. If this storm happened in January, seeing the panels as they are on 12z's home team models, I'd be moderately giddy down here. Its early in the season and we're still cooling off in the N Hemisphere. That's my take anyway. Like I stated yesterday, elevation will likely have a few surprises on that NW side. Allentown to Poconos still look like best spots in our region to me.

I think that sums this situation up perfectly, agree with every word of this. I bolded the section that resonates best with me, and that is why we've been talking about patience. We're still early in the hunt, and for those of us in the lowlands to get snow, we need moisture AND a well timed, fresh cold airmass. The cold of the past few days is moderating and moving out. It's not nearly enough for this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great description and thanks for time. I was kinda more wondering why so dry on northern side I guess(lol as my worry is water level/spring issue at this point).

paweather Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Glad this wasn't a winter storm at least on the 12z GFS it went south today with the low. Maybe now a half inch of rain for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think he's the funniest negative person on the board. His act does grow a bit weary to me only in that he actually knows a lot - I listen to what he says because honestly...he's often right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
