The CMC gives nearly 40MM of liquid equivalent. Which is like 1.6 inches. Would be pushing 15-20 inches there haha. Lets do it.
Also, can anyone actually decipher those damn contours on the GEFS maps?
I was really young but I remember a storm that did that here in Pittsburgh too. I have no clue when it was, but it sleeted for HOURS and I have never seen anything like it again. At the end it switched to extremely heavy snow.
I just remember it because it was the best sled riding I ever remember.
if we dry slot but still get a foot that would be amazing. If we avoid the dryslot or it is being over done by the models I will hold to the idea that I think we can see 12-18 type totals here.
The HiRes NAM is also atrocious for us. That's more concerning than the NAM itself. Showing like an inch of snow at the onset, then ice, then dryslot. Have to see what the back end shows but the deform band is wanting to set up near columbus.
HAHAHAHAHA.
The NY thread was talking about how the only reason to live on the tughill is snow...everything else is awful. I'd imagine Erie is the same.
Yep lol. Though I would imagine there is a good deal of lake enhancement with that.
Like I said though 12-18 IMO is a possibility given that 50 minutes NW that is what the euro is spitting out.
The thing is that we still dry slot or come close to it, but the only model showing the really pronounced slot is the NAM so that is encouraging.
No matter what happens, I think someone should remind JB of his proclamation that the storm would slide off the Jersey coast.
That is why you don't make definitive calls, especially as a legitimate met, 5 days out.
Lots of folks on the NY thread are saying that the UKMET makes zero sense. It is dropping 1-1.5 QPF everywhere here to WNY but the snow maps are all showing totals that don't come anywhere near matching the QPF output.
There are some really good trends. I am hoping the euro loses the extended dry slot as it and the NAM have been pretty consistent now with it for a bit.
Most mets are saying the mixing issues are likely way overdone...so the dryslot I think is the bigger concern.
Also, I would LOVE to get some wind. Not blizzard level, but 20-30MPH gusts with inch per hour rates or higher will be pretty impressive.
