WinterWxLuvr Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Picked up another .75 sometime during the night. Sitting right on 1.75. Need another .25 to verify Ellinwoods forecast. Still snowing lightly with radar showing maybe one more round coming. Edit: Largest snow at my house since October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ellinwood owned DT. Agree completely. What snow? DT is believing his own hype machine. Even mine was overdone out west... that was a risk but I thought there would be just enough precip. to squeek out higher totals in the mountains and went for it. Verification coming later today.

Ellinwood Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The verification on this one was rather interesting... some odd shapes/placements of the snow totals: The front-end of the system over-produced and the back edge under-produced, with some front-end banding boosting totals in central MD. Lighter rates and above-freezing temperatures kept the totals down elsewhere. Overall, I had the right idea, but with a warm boundary layer and a weak system it's always difficult to nail the accumulations. I'd give this forecast a B- for getting the general theme right within the oddly-placed snow totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'd say B+ as snow amounts always tricky and your forecast area of coverage was great! Opposite IMBY front end dusting (too light and temps above freezing) 1.6 from back end. began about 2:30 am and stayed light (temps below freezing) and steady for about 5-1/2 hours. still a bit left now: The verification on this one was rather interesting... some odd shapes/placements of the snow totals: The front-end of the system over-produced and the back edge under-produced, with some front-end banding boosting totals in central MD.
