  1. Makes no sense why N PA has more snow on this map then areas near the strongest frontogenesis
  2. temps may be just above freezing initially but Tds in the teens that will drop down once steady snow begins.
  3. This isnt an IMBY post but I feel like there is room on the NAM for a bit more of a push north too.
  4. rgem is not that far off though. euro is not completely on its own.
  5. 10m winds really are not N though. they are very weak. The issue is the energy is more robust on previous RGEM, Euro runs leading to a more organized low and a bit further north. New NAMs and FV3 are weaker overall and less precip on N side.
  6. this is just one variation in CNJ, but NAM3k is showing it above the dendritic growth zone
  7. try to look where omega is located, and see if it lines up with the -12 to -18 zone in the profile and it is saturated. That is also one piece of the puzzle. Snow habit is diverse, but that is one way to get an idea.
  8. the big unknown is if snow growth isnt the best, if you are not dendrites the habit could lower your ratio even its cold. Temperature is only one part of the equation.
  9. The nam can easily shift back north. Rgem is and it's consistent with its previous run
  10. Wanna see this continue in next several runs. It's been back and forth but would be cool if we can get a bump in qpf too
  11. Seems like the type of system that would trend north down to the wire. Just speculating there though and by no means saying it will happen. Just feel like I've seen northern stream dominant lows shift north frequently.
  12. Yep snow habit plays a key role in ratio. Cold is just one factor.
  13. What do you expect them to do when guidance is spread
  14. I'm seeing a lot of 30-32. I'd wanna see temps in the 20s for higher ratio.
  15. Be careful with just expecting high ratio snow. Yes it's colder aloft but surface temps are still not as cold as I feel needed for higher ratio. Id temper it a bit and say more 10-12:1
  16. This obviously includes snow from tomorrow night north of our area
  17. Gefs probs are not too shabby for greater than an inch. Temper expectations.
  18. If we had been in the 20s that would not have happened. It's impressive enough that we had the cooling we did without the nice high to our north.
  19. The liquid equivalent out here was impressive in the 12-18z timeframe. Even here where it was 32-33, the temps and compaction were real. Probably would have had closer to 10 if not more but I'll settle with the half foot. Still a nice event.
