In MY opinion, the flip time is going to be what really impacts the results . Isn’t hope 90% of our hobby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Very interesting snow conditions. Air is full of flakes that aren’t quite pixie dust but also aren’t dendrites or anything. Piling up like sand might. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Every storm is different and this is not scientific at all but I do think there is something to this… A couple days ago I said I liked the wedge presentation in the mid levels over 2007 and 2017, examples when the mid level warmer won quick in a route. When there is a clear southward wedge into VA even in the mid levels and the mix comes at us from the southeast not due south or worse southwest we bang on way way longer. IMO it’s indicative of a deeper cold layer that’s fighting more in the mid levels. Often when we bust high on snow in changeover situations it was when the mix was trying to advance SE to NW into the CAD wedge. Unfortunately the guidance has shifted toward a more straight south to north look to the mid level warmth. Unfortunately it’s been my experience that when the mid levels are advancing uniformly through the cold wedge that way it indicates less resistance to the WAA. The one thing that could offset this would be an epic thump which is what the 18z euro and rgem were showing. Thats what happened in Feb 2015, Dec 2013 in situations where the warmth was advancing straight north but got halted by intense dynamic cooling. It can work out but we need to be getting death banded from 12-15z not just light to moderate precip 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulythegun Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I wasnt expecting anything more than flurries before midnight. I'll wait until then to throw a tantrum...(Not here...in some group chats!)
