When it comes to deep pow on top of catastrophic ice in Washington DC, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I am only 5 years old. And, I'm damn PROUD of the fact. And I still want 30 inches of powder snow on top of that glacier in the DMV. You guys are tough. You'll love it. I STILL worship snow to the total exclusion of everything else and everybody else. And I pray to the snow gods for deep snow right on top of that Washington DC Glacier! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's "consistently the best model" in your opinion, I'm very happy that it's finally catching on about 6 hrs. late to a threat on Wednesday/Thursday. Small, but it's there. It might die and it might live but thankfully, spring is on the way. LOL - facts aren't opinions. It consistently IS the best model. That's an objective fact backed by years of study and data collected and analyzed by people who gace forgotten more about weather than you or I will ever know. Go look it up. Educate yourself a little. Does that mean it's ALWAYS right? Of course not. Hopefully you're able to grasp that distinction - but at this point I have some doubts. And if your "opinion" is based on nothing more than vibes and nonsense, as yours happens to be in this case, it's connection to "the truth" is about as tenuous as your understanding of how to assess weather models. You can have the "opinion" that the earth is flat - that is absolutely your right. But you'd still be wrong. Comically so. Just as you are here.

stormtracker Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Insomnia got the best of me..back up. lol GFS looks more like Euro. Of course it does. But this time it's positive. This seems to be trended a bit better with each run. 3-5 It's a decent snowfall, with heavier stuff staying to our.....take a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI GFS is, for the 2nd run in a row (maybe me but I didn't check), is a much bigger event as in most, if not all, from DCA north is snow. Pivotal doesn't offer snowfall maps for AI GFS, so here's precip. Basically, makes it a decent coastal that passes to our south. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Euro didn't show a similar evolution, I'd be skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think AI-GFS did okay with the last storm here, it was almost in lockstep with the Euro AIFS. So I won't kick it out of bed with that precip depication... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized that it had a bit of a longer event so attached is the 48hrs precip maps which show additional qpf up north and west. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 LWX casual mention of the event next week. KEY MESSAGE 3...Chance of light snow mid next week. KEY MESSAGE 3 DESCRIPTION... A shortwave-trough is fcst to dive from the Northern Plains into the mid Mississippi River Valley Tue afternoon into Wednesday. This feature is then forecast to become a closed low and induce sfc cyclogenesis across the Southeast. The Canadian model shows the weakest and most southern solution while the ECMWF the strongest and a more favorable track. This latest 00Z EC solution is a significant break in continuity to prior runs that showed a weaker solution and snow amounts between a trace and one inch. The EPS and EC AIFS suggest that the deterministic Euro is likely overdone and show a much weaker solution. The EPS shows the probs of 0.01" of QPF in the 60-70% range and of 0.1" QPF in the 30-50% range across the area in the 12Z Wed-00Z Thu time frame.

GreyHat Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 38 minutes ago, Terpeast said: Euro AIFS shows a weaker and further south track than the AI Of course both GFS and AIGFS 6z show positive tilt and weak low, plus the L coming out of Canada. The good thing is our area is in the mid 30s M - F before dipping back below 32F. That will help get the ice off the roads over in our area.

Just going to remain damn cold but dry it looks like. That's certainly my fear at this point. But it goes back to December when I said I was concerned with central and southern VA being the jackpot because I couldn't recall a decent winter up here when then we're bullseyed first and that you want to be in the bullseye with the first storm because that's often an indicator of the season. There's still time, but the block really suggests at this point storms will continue to gravitate to our south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The globals….especially the GFS and Euro are really dead set on keeping us in this cold pattern. We barely get above freezing thru mid February. Now, the AIGFS really wants to start pumping the SE ridge after next week and gets us to a winter thaw….or areas just to our south…so we’ll have to see how it plays out. CPC also likes chances of continued BN temps on the EC centered over NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never ours since the GFS has shown it from the beginning to be weak and OTS in both 6z & 12z yesterday. I wander if the system coming out of western Canada has anything to do with it.

Terpeast Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Wild that y'all are giving up on this event next week. There's still plenty of disagreement among models, and most give us something. That coastal miss this weekend really got to you, huh? 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
