Perspective I guess but this is easily the most snow/sleet Ellicott city’s gotten in years… you have to be at what? 9”? I know you’re big dog hunting like the rest of us, but I wouldn’t call this wasted QPF
Stay safe folks east of the bay… gonna get a decent dump of ZR this evening it appears Looking like we’ll stay sleet up this way - west of Westminster. About to Jeb walk down to flood zone for a nice brewski
Yeah, definitely don’t. I’m getting observation texts from my friends I grew up with… getting absolutely smoked in the Hudson valley. Easily hitting 16-18 up there
Not as good as a foot+, but I’ll take 8+ of snow/sleet that’ll stick around for 1-2 weeks. Haven’t measured but easily over 8 currently with crushing sleet falling
Too flat out west? Trough doesn’t go negative in time and slides offshore. Man, that’s a monster. Would much rather models showing something progressive this far out
Trough amplified too far west. Hard to believe this isn’t all snow but that’s what happens when the 850 and SFC low track to our west. Even the coldest of air masses gets scoured right out. If the storm takes that track, it will 150% flip. Only chance models are wrong is if they are all missing an earlier / further south coastal handoff. Doubtful
All snow 12-18” with 24” lollipops - the WSW for where I grew up. Still have time to make the drive up. Off until Wednesday. It’s very tempting. But if I can manage a foot here, I’d def rather just watch it from MBY
Respectable. The MoCo-HoCo area to me is the biggest ? mark going into this thing. Transition zone of >50% snow will be right there. Could see 6, could see 10-12. A few hours will make all the difference
I’m going with 10”. If I hit that in combined snow and sleet up this way…. I’m happy. Lotta tracking to settle for 6”. I’ll be frustrated for sure if I end up with 6 and my parents in NY end up with 18
Not sure the exact time of day matters. It’s all about when the 850 low and primary start encroaching to our west. If it starts 3 hours earlier and flips over 3 hours earlier, doesnt really do us any good .
Wouldn’t it be something if models were getting that energy handoff wrong. They all, to a degree, maintain that weakening primary into the OHV and torch our mid levels to varying degrees. But man, imagine we saw that coastal pop early and south..
