Sure I got excited for a brief moment when euro shifted NW, but I wanted to wait until it showed the same shift for 3 consecutive runs. It didn’t this time. Next week is a weaker event that goes on a more W-E trajectory, a different type of event that isn’t really comparable to this weekend. Well you’re a met, I take what you say seriously. Imma track obviously. The Euro just spooked me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Sounds familiar.Heh yea, but I would say that this event is a lot less complicated than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHat Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 35 minutes ago, Kmlwx said: I would argue that the sleet glacier might have nudged the impact of this past storm to major. I know the amounts won't echo that - but the impacts relating to the bitter cold after I think edge this upwards. Yeah, I agree. We are still have icy roads in the development and the back roads to work from Delaware to the main road are still hazardous. That's mainly due to the sun not shining on them, so the material the road department puts down will take time. You can walk on the snow and quite funny watching the beagle try run down a rabbit as they slide across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 What haunts me is the weeklies. BN temps for every week thru early March, but BN or well BN precip 2/2-2/15. We get to normal the remaining weeks. Whatever falls thru 2/15 has a high probability of being snow, which is obviously the good news. Getting it to precipitate is the challenge. But, on the bright side, we "may" end with a Niño-like mid-Feb thru early March with only a little bit of luck needed. All this is based on both Euro and Cfs2 weeklies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think next week is a far better setup percentage wise to get us some snow. I never liked this week because it was an all or nothing and we needed so many things to go right to get it to work. Meanwhile next week just needs a decent wave track which is something we could possibly get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they been all that accurate with precip to date, though? I feel like they called for a very wet January and we got the one big precip storm and that was it.

I feel like they called for a very wet January and we got the one big precip storm and that was it. They may have had 1 week AN, but not the month. Because they are daily, they can jump around with the best of them as we know. The oldest precip forecast at the free Euro site goes back to the 1/7 forecast. Here's the link. More recent forecasts can be found by clicking on the triangle icon to the top, right of the map. The accuracy of the forecasts probably depend on who's looking at the map!

mitchnick Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This weekend's storm is causing such low heights on the Icon that the threat is going to have a hard time climbing north. It needs to get outta there faster. What a way to screw us twice. Assuming it's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 ICON at 12z looks awfully similar to where we started for this weekends storm. Gets the southern part of the forum pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are excited. 4 to 8+ The whole town maybe has 1 plow they probably have to borrow for another jurisdiction. They'll be closed for a few days. I almost chased down there but then I remembered, I'd have to be in that town. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Regarding the fish storm…it takes a different climate pattern to get a snowstorm in Va beach. If they’re getting snow, we’re in trouble in Frederick. Let that one go. Next week is more trackable, though that ridge out west looks like a monster brewing. Interested to see how much that impacts those BN projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 19 minutes ago, SomeguyfromTakomaPark said: I’m not sure what people are upset about, we just had a major winter storm. I think it was partly due to the idea of snow on snow which is even more rare than a MECS. A lot of arctic cold is being wasted on clear dry days and we're marching towards sun angles and marginal temps every passing day. Still hard to believe we're still in Jan though. Lots of winter left. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time it gets posted in here it's like a crucial step behind the good models. The mean has very limited value at this range, because a few snowy ensemble members can skew it. The probabilistic output is far more useful, but I'm not sure how easy it is to find that on the web. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
