MN Transplant Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The HRRR is a believable scenario. Comes in with a good slug of early moisture, lulls midday, and then ramps back up and cools down late afternoon into evening. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layman question, lol I believe the ratio we're using is as follows: 5 hours ago, bncho said: DIY ratios plz edit: do your own ratios is the message. example: that shows me at around 10" 10:1. cut that down to 7" for 7:1 ratios and remove 2" for melting and I get 5" from that. simple math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Point" map is the official NWS snowfall forecast in inches during the time period shown on the graphic. This snowfall amount is determined by NWS forecasters to be the most likely outcome based on evaluation of data from computer models, satellite, radar, and other observations. The "Range" map is the 25th percentile (lower number) to 75th percentile (higher number) of possible snowfall amounts based on the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) Super Ensemble output during the time period of the graphic. The official NWS snowfall forecast influences this range of values either up or down depending upon how closely they match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 7 minutes ago, Cobalt said: A lot of that comes down to the initial advance of precip before the coastal takes over. Few of the other models are giving that much of a thought, and from the looks of it the HRRR is actually wetter with that batch than even the GFS. My hope is that this becomes a Feb 10, 2010 type of a pivot, but from hobbyist experience I will say this is definitely a setup in which you want to temper celebrations until it’s actually snowing. Miller Bs are a mortal enemy for central md. We’re generally not good at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmagnet Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 This feels a bit like the Ji storm of 2022. If I remember correctly, it had been on and off radar, so most had given up. Then 2 or 3 days before, everything started to change. If I remember correctly, the GFS led the way and the Euro caved to it. I had been away for my anniversary and not paying attention until I saw Jay's post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
