yoda Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Huh? It came north with the QPF field a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmatte Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Yes, but still well south of the GFS. UKIE was the southern most outlier of all the models before this run. GGEM is coming north as well I like this. Even if they're still south, anything moving north is good in my book. Even if they're untrusted models.

WEATHER53 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think the key will be if snow gets accumulated to 1" by 9am. Where that happens, even if it's 36/37 by early afternoon with the moderate rates it will continue to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 GGEM due east from that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazeKing Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/models/ggem/00zggemp120120.gif Pretty insane QPF there on the GGEM lol I'm guessing it's known for doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I tried to qualify that in my post... it is march... and temps are an issue... I am just saying from what the model depicted... the overall geographic extent.. million of people impacted.. and not mention.. 12 inches would be around 7:1 ratios with the amounts depicted... 12 inches would break a record for March I believe... Assuming the GFS's depiction of the storm is the prevailing one at go-time, how much will be forecasted for the area? I have a feeling that since DC's biggest March snowfall is ~12", and due to climatological factors, forecasters will be cautious and call for 5-10 or 6-12 for D.C. --at the most.

Quasievil Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 After staring at this crap over the last few days and digesting the latest 0z runs, I truly have no clue what to expect on Tuesday/Wednesday. Anyone else have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 GGEM due east from that point. Yes GFS is an outlier, but it has trended away from the consensus since 12z, which is a little alarming. Either the GFS wrong, or it's a hero here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 unfortunately that almost never happens Yeah but in the good old days it wasn't unusual for a storm to come way north inside 60hrs on all models. Look at Dec 2010, Feb 2007, Oct 2011, Dec 2009 ect. Those all were supposed to scoot due east, but all of them got a little hung up between the coast and the gulfstream.

orangewx Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Maybe this is wishful thinking, but this feels like Dec. 19, 2009, when Charlottesville to Frederickburg Va was suppose to be the bullseye, but in the end the bullseye moved toward Dulles Airport if I recall. And even for Feb. 5 2010, DC was suppose to be the bullseye, but it ended up being in northern Carrol County.. I'm no met, but seems to me the best bands usually set up about 50 miles from where its progged. Even in the well-forecast, modeled, Boston Blizzard last month, the heaviest snow didn't end up in Boston. It ended up in central Connecticut. wait, what? Parts of Charlottesville received 28" of snow. i was in between those areas in 2009 and we got 25" surpassing the forecasted 16-20". google a total snowfall map for that storm and you will see the bullseye did not shift north.

Ok. maybe Charlottesville and areas SW of DC still got bullseye.. But I am almost certain areas farther east like Fredericksburg were suppose to get more snow than DC. In the end, DC area did equally as well, including some areas north of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bari Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The GFS and the CRAS (and i believe the cras sometimes can be used as an indicator of a western or northern bais in the other models) vs pretty much everything else, i'm not sure why were even bothering at this point. This looks like it's going to be another euro like solution and i've to hear any real reasoning why it might be otherwise. GGEM.... just a cold rain for most of the storm, now usually it runs a little on the warm side, but by that much? ehhhh ...long live the euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes fredericksburg did not do as well as modeled, in fact it is very rare we do better than DC on large snowstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
