its kind of old data now already but I saw the posts about the SREF earlier and the 21z when it did come in, went way west...is a pretty good hit with precip over our area. Didn't see anyone go back and correct that.

Yeah it did.

Gfs pretty meh. Would be fitting for the euro to fail after so much praise with Sandy.

Not sure much has changed tonight tho.

not sure the GFS is a total fail...sometimes the GFS moves towards a solution but does it in a less direct way. 0z was a minor step back from 18 but a move west over the 12z run. Besides..if you look at the H5 and H7 it would support the deform band getting further west I think they the liquid output suggests. I am not sure given the exact track of the GFS that precip wouldnt be more significant in the DC area.

Haven't looked at any models since Sandy, until this evening. I'm not too impressed with what I'm seeing so far. Especially in regards to any precipitation in western VA. I can see you northern Virginianers maybe getting lucky enough to see some flakes if things play out well.

Oh it didn't just hold serve it upped the game some more. 850's colder and 540 line nears. 32 at surface even comes into southern pa.

thanks for info... I am more concerned about precip then temps right now. Don't get me wrong temps are a problem too...but wont matter if the heavy precip stays east of the area. Plus with my elevation here about 1000 feet I can usually do well with marginal temp situations if the precip is heavy.

Plenty of QPF this run 1-1.5" I am betting snow map off Accuweather will have 9"+ for you and me.

I think right down to DCA would snow looking at the WSI maps and not just the hills. A definite real good 6 hour period in there with maybe a little more on each side, though this time of year with this type of marginal airmass anything light in rates won't stick or may even mix back with RA- a bit.

I wouldn't bother looking at the wunderground snow maps...those always look like they were drawn up by Ji. But I think the Euro would give DCA accumulating snow. I don't think 4-6" would be impossible on that solution for DCA with 8"+ possible at IAD. Of course it has to work out perfect, but the Euro is close to just that.

Remember, you can have the hardest rates in the storm, but aint going to do crap with a ground temp of 38 and road temp of 42.

~Snet form a deivce that cannot speel.

That stuff has all been said before and doesn't ever matter really. I mean it was 50 degrees and raining for OCT 29th storm last year then dropped to 33 and we got 6". Road temp was like 45+ the day before and still got covered.

Also here is the 0Z euro snowfall based off of accuweather pros map.
