HighStakes

Quick update from post a moment ago. Skies opened up. Heavy snow now with Inch an hour rates with big flakes.

Picked up again in the last few minutes. Still small flakes but ith low visibility. Never measured other than earlier this morning so I have no idea what we have. Maybe 4ish? Not feeling too great today so don't plan on measuring. I'll wait for PSU' final totals.

Snowing nicely now. Moderate with really nice flakes. Kinda stuff that piles up quick.

We need to get into some heavier bands here. The good stuff has struggling to make it up here. Starting to pick up as I type this.

Light snow. 24. Little over an inch.

Bring back the Fozz emoji for good vibes leading to an Epic February and March!!

Just wait for the back to back to back HECS starting mid-February.

I'm starting to really like tomorrow. Models are converging on the highest totals in northern MD. Hopefully there's not a last minute shift. To expand on your post about ratios, I agree. I expect mostly 15:1 up here. We always do well with ratios even in more marginal storms. The Euro which always is warmer than GFS has Westminster at 27 at 18z with 850's at -8. I think 20:1 is not out of the questions especially if we still have some banding the last several hours of the storm. Trying not to be to weenieish!! Lol.

First flakes are only 48 hours away if that initial band Thursday evening materializes.

After briefly going positive the EPO looks to dive into negative territory around the 25th. Let's see if we limit the warm-up during the "relax" period.

Heavy snizzle morphing into light snow.

Euro agrees! Going to be a legit cold home playoff game for a change. Nothing like that eerily warm game against Tennesse.

Really nice to have a storm where the sun doesn't come out immediately after the last flake and the dripping begins!

Aloft is very cold. 850's on all models are -8 to -12 during snow. This could easily become a decent event even if it's a relatively dry storm. Not going to take a lot of liquid to do the trick.

Looks like a solid 4 here.

Snowing nicely now. Still small flakes though. Took a while to get going.

Tom T's model of choice earlier was the hrrr.

Pretty much been at stuck at 24 all day. Perfect January day.

Just unbelievable!!

Becoming more of a legit light snow.

GFS has northern MD in the single digits Wednesday morning and barely gets out of the teens for highs.

Very light snow has begun.
