Oh since we're on the imaginary train let's make the temp six above. This is very heavy snow, it's already weighing the spruce limbs down considerably. Yeah, looking at all the snow on @Baltimorewx’s mailbox, I can see it starting to teeter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best looking snow I have seen in years. Good for you. Apparently some of those mesos were right with the “dry slot” and subsidence thru Baltimore but good stuff to the west and east 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other then about 20 mins in one band Monday this was much better and more fun. I know but there was a moment on Friday when all guidance had a sub 1000mb low amplifying as it passed the VA capes and that was a scenario where we could beat climo and get a 4-8 maybe 10” more widespread thump snow. You add slightly better banding, lift, and more NE surface wind and suddenly 34 degree moderate slush is 32 degree rippin fatties. I guess with the history of these kinds of waves usually amping up more when there isn’t any suppression I bought in. Once guidance started to back away this result was more inevitable. I couldn't get past the speed part. I saw the mega frontogen posts earlier this week and was hesitant to jump in due to speed. 2"hr for 2 straight hours without a lull is hard with a storm on the move like this. I didnt discount the chance though. Absolutely considered the possibility of a heavy raking. And it sure could have happened but I couldnt shake the natural pessimism for a huge outcome given no closed or neg tilt shortwave and no confluence. The really (good) nasty bands generally dont park without some sort of impediment to forward speed. Kinda need an upper level wall (even if tiny) to really wring things out more often than not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best looking snow I have seen in years. The heaver bands are flexing and waning , seems you are under one of the larger ones. Here the early AM band has moved on, hopefully watching to my SW for another. There were 4 heavier bands at first , now it seems we are going towards 2 bands, one near psu land and the the lower Eastern Shore moving towards Dover. The one nearing Baltimore has weakened.

Was hoping we'd get an inch or two (never did trust the WSW). But that's okay...perhaps we have more chances coming up (hopefully).

This is the area the mesos have been keying on, and where I think the best chances are for a few inches. I am hoping I can hang onto this for a while, but the better lift is probably going to focus more to my east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfan96 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 18 hours ago, BTRWx's Thanks Giving said: I don't want to post it, but the snowfall maps from the two NAM runs on tropicaltidbits are actually quite similar. There's something way off about Weatherbell snow maps. They're the worst. Definitely another example here today where following climo is generally best. The WB Kuchera snow totals are always way higher than Kurchera on Pivotal, etc. 2.8” here - snowing moderately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 managed to stay snow since the flip around 7am. still have some rates moving through with this next band, but only so much it can accumulate with fringe temps. it is what it is. this is about what i expected tbh, though i did think bmore and areas further east would do better than they are.

WVclimo Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Snow is close to ending here. Has been generally 1.00 mile vis stuff all morning, so not enough good rates to overcome the rising temperature. Up to 32 and what has fallen the past hour hasn’t added any accumulation. 1.7” new snow depth back up to 5”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
