  1. Agreed and I wouldn't commit to any accumulation amount right now until all the players are on the field and moving - at first I thought we would have high ratio's but now that is in doubt also.
  2. Anyone remember our high expectations several days out with this storm ? We were talking about this one on the forum previous to this one - think it was called Eastern Weather ? Snow and ice storm, March 4-6, 2001 - Storm Summary
  3. the first option would curb everyone's enthusiasm
  4. define what you consider to be the Coastal Plain.
  5. definite timing issues have to be worked out as the Euro brings it in very early Sunday morning and wants to mix it here in the afternoon - while the GFS only starts the snow in the late morning
  6. as you zoom in to regional yes I was only looking at national map but I think the primary doesn't get that far north - the strong HP will cause the transfer earlier to the coast
  7. Ratio's will start higher beginning of storm and probably get lower as the storm progresses
  8. holds on to primary up too western PA and transfers to coastal off NJ coast - which keeps in mostly snow north of Raritan River in NJ
  9. 1996 looks similar to this event on the Euro regarding the mixing making it up into southern half of NJ
  10. agreed plus less QPF will mean colder temps and ratio's higher to compensate for less QPF
  11. what happened to those huge snowfall amounts down south ? This shift north was too extreme and too sudden IMO - I wouldn't be surprised if this shifts a few miles south again in the coming days.
  12. 1. This will be a very cold setup 2. The storm track won't favor a very windy event
  13. It wasn't JB and I should have mentioned they only said it was a possibility not definite - I think 15:1 is reasonable considering this air mass coming in from the north is quite unusually cold for this area during a snow event.
  14. FYI a few of the more reliable METS are even mentioning 20:1 around the metro.
  15. true and the GFS ensembles disagree with its OP
  16. consistency and agreement with other models is key in any event iMO
  17. I consider the GFS solution unlikely as of now because of little support from other model guidance and the history of this model showing extreme solutions at this range in the past -also the GEFS disagrees with it
  18. Ratio's at least 15:1 is what is going to make this a significant storm here - nobody is expecting a KU event - 8 - 12 inches with a half to three quarters inch QPF seems reasonable to me from most guidance so far - of course this could change one way or the other - keep our biases at the door and have an open mind...
  19. once again use the 15:1 ratio which is easily reached with such cold temps over 8 or 9 inches in most areas
  20. 15:1 ratio = a foot or more of snow in most of the metro
  21. I'd like to hear what you consider significant considering the high ratio potential with this storm this far north
