psuhoffman Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Obviously this doesn’t matter but it took a track of the slp to the mouth of the Potomac to get the deform band back across our area. All the runs that have a bomb wind up the storm so tight it’s unusual. A track that close usually has precip type issues all the way to the blue ridge and heavy snow to state college. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the gold standard for reverse busts in the modern era, going from dusting Norfolk -> 8-12" DC proper at the 36-42 hour range. Nothing has come close since.

Golf757075 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You would have thought the gefs would have shifted way east but didn't unless the gefs sucks in general also lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah only a 35” difference between gfs and any other model. Should be a good enough “gauge” lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how amazing it would be but I don't even agree with this to be honest with you. It has been so so bad even if we get half the snow it's showing and it's more than the other models, it's more of a "blind squirrel" thing to me at this point. A trend is more than one lol.

Interstate Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 21 minutes ago, SomeguyfromTakomaPark said: I need a met to explain how the CMC and GFS look so similar at 500mb 90 hours but have such vastly different surface outcomes. All the people saying "small changes" are right I think. The position and orientation of the trough at 500 mb are almost the same. Here is your answer... the First one is the GFS and it is negative (pull) and the second is the CMC which positive (push) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day blizzard 12-26-2010 when Euro caught on to GFS and delivered a huge storm. Of course that was for NYC and New Jersey but u get the point. 2-12-2006 JMA schooled other models. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the runs that have a bomb wind up the storm so tight it’s unusual. A track that close usually has precip type issues all the way to the blue ridge and heavy snow to state college. It occludes and stacks in place. You can get snow all the way to the low location when that happens. It’s rare obviously. But what isn’t rare about a 3’ snow bomb? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The changes start early on the Models... so it would not take much for the other models to follow suit... or for the GFS to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the people saying "small changes" are right I think. The position and orientation of the trough at 500 mb are almost the same. They aren't that different at the surface though - same with the ICON (and probably the Euro once it comes out). The GFS tucks the low in closer to land (in fact over land) and ramps up earlier. The CMC is 15 mb weaker at 90 hr, and 100 miles SE of the GFS. By hour 102 the CMC is about 5 mb stronger and maybe 75 miles or less apart. Its just the timing that makes the difference. Similar with the ICON. By the time they really ramp up, they are south of Maine. Its just that those differences of 12 hours in when the various parts that will make this system bomb out come together are super meaningful to weather we see a historic blizzard or nothing.
