Festus Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If the winds verify, that's going to be as big or bigger story here. I haven't gusted north of 60 in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Mag, it was the pivotal 10-1 map because many stations were higher on it than kuchera showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get caught in that zone, I could see a sleet feast to add: seems like snow right up to the low center. 25 mile mix zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Upper layers on the models I keep seeing 850's breaking down far to the west of the "primary low" . Somethings up...it's not a simple cold to the left, warm to the right situation. We know 850 is driving to the west of the "L" on the surface maps but could it be driving in somewhat unison with the other wave? Just model talk. Waiting for a met to come shoot me down. I will not be offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had not let March 93 or Jan 2000 sneak into our minds (well me at least), the 18z euro would seem like a super win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they would be cautious especially after just a few years ago when they had a accumulation map out with some that were over a foot.

Just gotta hope the wwa precip comes in hot and heavy and we max out on that. Obviously the further north into PA the better chance you have to keep 850's but right here on the M/D line I don't think we will be able to hold onto the mid levels.

I love seeing the low position at the southern end of the DelMarVa peninsula. Usually that is a great position that delivers the heavy snow goods to the LSV during a solid coastal storm.

Many of the great storms mix at the height or end of the storm. Both of our major 1 foot snow storms last year had mixing for a few hours. It helps with snow preservation in the long run!

Who know…spin the Wheel of the NAM and see what you get? I think the NAM does much better under 48 hours…but sometimes it’s 4.8 hours out until it gets a clue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
