A key ingredient for any legitimate snowstorm in these parts.
-
Agreed. We're like 12 hours off from a legit event for everyone.
-
Thus far, the 12z suite gives credence to a storm somewhere in the 1/15 to 1/17 time frame. It doesn't appear to be a cutter either, either it hits us or to our south. That's about all anyone should glean.
-
Seems like a 50/50 low locks everything in? Not a terrible spot for the antecedent high, not great either. IIRC, that setup worked for 12/19/09 too.
-
DGEX and then the DGEX and Canadian for the 2/10 event.
-
As @Terpeast and @WxUSAF have often said, worry about thermals inside D5.
-
Yea there's a decent moisture feed with that storm and it looks fairly neutral at 500 mb?
-
Will echo others' sentiment about Jan 2025. My records indicate a total snow depth of about six inches for several days, with a low temperature of 1° twice.
-
Indeed. Unfortunately some folks misinterpret posts like that so I was attempting to add a crumb of context.
-
Paul Kocin cooked that metaphor up. He gets all the credit.
-
Yes. To get a Major East Coast Storm, you need multiple ingredients to align. It's like cooking - a phenomenal meal needs to come together almost perfectly.
-
I do not believe so.

Happy birthday @sauss06 -
Slightly reassuring to see the 18z suite of ensembles hold or beef up snowfall.
-
Equally important is the western ridge trending stronger and sharper.
-
No high pressure to the north to impart better cold air advection. Heavier precip rates overcome a marginal profile and turn precip to frozen, elsewhere, it's rain. Very believable.
-
Until we properly fund NWP, nothing will change. Well just torch all next winter.
-
Nina's IIRC
-
Yup. From a WPC met. A glimmer of hope?
-
My one goal is to not git 60° in the winter. Looks like that is a pipe dream anymore.
-
Heat and wind overperform here. It's about all we're good at.
-
Torching into the mid 50s.
-
Poor everyone east of I-81.
-
It's 52 degrees at the Thurmont mesonet site, but 31 at Clarksville. What a temperatures inversion.
