canderson Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I don’t recall a system ever behaving the way it is being depicted by the NAM - at least not since I moved to Pennsylvania 15 or so years ago. I can’t wrap my head around a low near savannah hooking so far NW Erie gets plain rain. Edit: NAM/ICON, not GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storm just come ashore let it hit the Rockies. Then put a map out based on them conditions. Would give you a truer picture I would think.

CarlislePaWx Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I thought the afternoon CTP disco was very good. It seemed like at least at present they were saying that the first half of the storm should be all snow everywhere. That's about as far as their "likely" feelings went.

pasnownut Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 1 hour ago, CarlislePaWx said: One thing my weather friends have told me is you need the 700 low to pass south of you for precip to be good and warming aloft to be mitigated. This depiction shows the low south of the m/d line, which is at least one positive (for those of us in lsv). Yep, and as I'm looking over GFS at 700, it does do just that. Gets close to M/D line, but then scoots NE, but stays south of us. If one toggles through the track of the SLP it looks to bounce around like a yo yo. We'll find out soon enough, but seems wonky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the finger though and Lanco/York are not going to like it. That’s a different interpretation than WeatherBell’s snow map. The GFS on WB has the whole LSV in the 5-7” with no weird reduction like that map. I mean according to that DC is still seeing 6”. If that’s a Kuchera map I wonder if that one (assuming that’s a Pivotal map) calculates it differently. Kuchera is ideal to use in a stable cold snow column. When it’s on the fringes where there could be mixing and/or marginal surface temps (which I’m seeing a good bit of 34ºF in the LSV while still in the main precip) the equation that calculates Kuchera could put out an unrealistically low ratio even if primary p-type is snow. Counter to that, if you have a truly frigid column.. your going to see unrealistically high ratios. At any rate Pivotal and WeatherBell must calculate that differently. Here’s WB, most of the LSV stuff is right up front. I’ll also note that 10:1 in the LSV is pretty similar to this Kuchera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost edited my post to say they’re both good for adding more to the overall discussion. Well lets say they both add, but one notably more than the other. Ground truth we know better than too put much weight into extrapolating the NAM, but as we are trying to connect the weather dots...we all search for clues. Guess that's one way of putting it.
