Blizzard of 93 Posted January 21 21 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: GFS looks like it's gone from amped to suppressed in one run. Congrats northern VA on this run. I think realistically were still 2-3 days away from knowing what will happen on Monday. Yes, and I really like where we are sitting in the LSV. The bullseye keeps moving north & south, but we have stayed very much in the game the last couple of days. Hopefully we are digging out from the early week storm while tracking the late week opportunity! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAG5035 Posted January 21 An actual legit clear and cold night here tonight with a bit of snow on the ground. 16ºF currently, probably coldest night of the winter so far. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We hit 21 degrees this morning, not the coldest we had this winter but still cold. Blizz keep the maps coming...we're going to hit one of these.

This is the trend we need in the days leading into the storm. With this type of setup, there always seems to be a late shift north with the boundary, cold press, etc. I’d love to be on the northern edge of the goods and let the models bring it north the last 48 hours 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that every storm/setup is unique, but if I'm on or near the southern boundary of good snow, I'm essentially writing it off. I'm much more interested in being on the northern edge or even just out of it if there are several days left before the event. Some of my biggest snows were mid-Atlantic specials at range. '83 and '96 are classic examples. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern fringe is almost always a kiss of death. . +1 with both of you and trainer. Only caveat is that we have -NAO and that throws a flag up for the "inevitable" tick north to me. Would probably be easy to find periods of -NAO in the last 20yrs and see what percentage jogged north vs got shunted south. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keeps putting less and less snow out, to the point that southern Allegheny County has 0 snow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itstrainingtime Posted January 21 Remarkable that in late January that a storm exiting off Myrtle Beach produces rain up to the I95 corridor, at least as the GFS depicts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though...given how things have been, I'm not looking past Monday/Tuesday and laying all my eggs on storm #2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually thinking the same thing. That low off the SC coast has such a moisture fetch to the north. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paweather Posted January 21 Maybe a 31st storm. Looks warm a bit for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAG5035 Posted January 21 24 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: Remarkable that in late January that a storm exiting off Myrtle Beach produces rain up to the I95 corridor, at least as the GFS depicts. The primary low with that is associated with that comes up the Ohio River towards western PA and the pattern alignment forces the secondary southeast off the Carolina coast and then eastward away from the coast. You can see how the 500mb low arcs from CO to WI, then gets blocked and forced down through PA and then southeast off the Carolina coast where the coastal storm eventually deepens rapidly. Not a suppressed pattern in the sense that the US is overwhelmed with cold air. At any rate, gotta dispatch these threats one at a time though. This one slated for Monday/Tues is getting close to the short range and it wasn't a slouch on the GFS either with a 10+ bullseye in SC PA. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both GFS and CMC deliver the goods and are starting to narrow goalposts enough to suggest we are inside them. I'd rather be on Euro side vs GFS/CMC sides of best snows, but a compromise (here in LSV) would do us just fine. Hoping posts continue to narrow from here on in as we are inside 5 days. Would feel better if it were 2-3 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People poop on the NAM but the GFS right now is laughable. The CMC seems to be doing a little better - maybe not Euro like, but model goalposts seem to be narrowing. The Euro hasn't been it's hallowed self lately and the CMC seems to be getting better. We'll see what happens soon enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome Back! Euro looks good. Good 12z runs all together. Time to get ready for a couple of weeks of winter weather instead of me tracking clouds and sun. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
