. Huh? It is still showing a non event, the qpf did not change at all for us and a couple of areas went down

Who cares.

 

The Euro just shifted 75 miles north at 18 hours. Whoops. I'm pretty sure it's not bone dry for you too, and it is running too dry already this run. Playing catchup.

 

Meteorlogy vs modelogy as Kev says.

41 pages of discussion that was basically always a minor event and one that was always leaning toward skirting to the south.

 

so much wishcasting in that 38 post thread for this storm and the almost 20 page discussion on the non event despite the majority of the time no big storm was ever modeled.

For a time most models besides the Euro were showing good potential for a moderate event.  Storms don't have to be big in order to be discussed here.  Oh and newsflash: nobody is forcing you to read these threads.

. Well that post is silly if it were too dry to start out and playing catchup it would have gotten wetter and shown more qpf, not kept it the same as last night or drier. Also, all of the other 12z runs since this morning have been adjusting drier. The other models are playing catchup to the euro if anything by adjusting their tracks and drying out, remember the euro was always the driest all along

as you can see from the observations from Ohio - the snow is kind of spotty with some stations not reporting any

Ah okay so most of is virga then? I'm using the WxTap radar and when you look at it, it looks good on tape. I should have checked obs :P Thanks! Lets hope we can squeeze a good 1-2" out of this to keep the snowpack fresh or whats left of it haha

HRRR is going bonkers which is surprising for this model...It's one of my favorite short term models, I would still trust it more within 9-12 hours, but here it is...Shows like 3-6" for Philly. In fact it's showing 2"/hr snows! And based on its radar it would be close for NYC

Always seem to have a snow bias to me so for now, I won't give it much time, if it contues to show this and there is other short term support then it may be onto something.

COLTS NECK 39 / 27 ,

Should change to snow this evening .

MY HOLLY 1250 AFD .

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY/...

THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO PASS OVERHEAD AROUND

MIDNIGHT. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SHOULD BE LOCATED OFF THE VIRGINIA

CAPES AROUND 700 PM BEFORE IT SCOOTS OUT TO SEA.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME VARIATION IN MODEL SOLUTIONS REGARDING

THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW. NEVERTHELESS, THE

IDEA OF RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW FROM NORTH TO SOUTH STILL LOOKS GOOD.

THE BEST LIFT WITH THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED OUT AHEAD OF THE SHORT

WAVE THIS EVENING. THE AREA OF BEST SNOW GROWTH LOOKS AS THOUGH IT

WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND CENTRAL NEW JERSEY AT

700 PM. PRECIPITATION RATES MAY INCREASE AT THAT TIME PULLING COLD

AIR DOWN FROM ALOFT. AS A RESULT, THE CHANGE TO SNOW MAY BE QUICK.

THE AREA OF BEST SNOW GROWTH SHOULD DROP TO THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR

REMAINING COUNTIES DURING THE HOURS BETWEEN 700 PM AND MIDNIGHT,

HELPING TO CAUSE THE CHANGE IN PRECIPITATION TYPE IN NORTHEASTERN

MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE CHANGE-OVER LINE MAY

NOT REACH OUR FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES UNTIL THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS

TO COME TO AN END. AS A RESULT, WE ARE EXPECTING LITTLE OR NO SNOW

IN SUSSEX COUNTY, DELAWARE OR CAPE MAY COUNTY, NEW JERSEY.

WE CONTINUE TO FORECAST A SWATH OF 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW FROM THE

FAR UPPER DELMARVA UP INTO SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND CENTRAL NEW

JERSEY. AREAS TO THE NORTHWEST SHOULD RECEIVE 2 INCHES OR LESS AS

THEY WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD.

The mets at News 12 lower hudson valley now say a dusting at worse for rockland county, mostly snow showers tonight, nothing heavy. Boy did the euro nail this thing

 

The Euro showed absolutely nothing for runs, it does have stuff now though. Overall, the GFS picked it up better, rather than the Euro originally shifting this out east. The accuracy scores between models inside 24hrs are almost the same.

I have a feeling if anything I will get rain. I lost allot of snow today and it appears more will go later. We shall see...

If we get light stuff it likely won't accumulate or will just be rain. I said last night that we would likely get either a half an inch or half a foot. Unfortunately the "half inch" is more likely to become reality. Too bad this one looks like it's yet another system that's being forced out to sea before getting together in time for us. SE New England might actually do fairly better than us because of this-notice the nice banding that gets set up in time for MA down by the Cape. The endless screaming, progressive pattern is just killing us. We really lucked out on the winter storm-just a little later to form and we would have been Philly with a few inches at most. We really need the upper air pattern to change so that the jet can slow down and stop shearing everything to crap.

The Euro didn't nail this, at all. We had little room for error, so a comparatively small move by the amped models means much more than a large move by a flat model. The Euro moved and flopped around considerably in the last few days. It has fits with this fast pattern as well.
