PhineasC Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Wes should like this run. Surface is a bit tepid but all the piece parts go south of DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 With the 18z and the 0z being different, it would be nice to hear a pro come in and give a synopsis of what would be the "perfect" evolution of this storm in this pattern. Dave is over in the model thread explaining why the runs are different, which is great, but I'd like to hear the hypothetical "perfect" evolution. It would also be nice to read the model threads without having to hear comments like "on to the next one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives himself these little pep-talks in threads and then storms off. I am guessing Leesburg keeps his doors locked at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This is a sad sad day. We only get 4 to 7 inches on the GFS Oh well On to the next storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah. I don't get it. It would be the perfect Christmas Day storm. Light snow all day. 4-8 inches and not crippling for anyone who is traveling the week after Christmas. Really perfect in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be nice to read the model threads without having to hear comments like "on to the next one". I think perfection is pretty close to what's on the 0Z GFS- just phase the pieces together a bit sooner at 500MB to deepen the coastal faster (thus hugging the coast). It's a tight balance; phase too quick and we get 18Z. On 0Z, we never worry about mixing and the temps would probably stay in the 20's all storm. Climo track of the LP for sig snow in DC is TN valley to ORF. This track is a smidge south of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinBerk Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I went on TV this morning with a high chance for snow. I like to get the excitement stirring for Christmas- and know the potential bust in these parts... however here is what we have going for us: #1 Model agreement. The waffling GFS has been pretty locked in for three days. The ECMWF is no n board with more of a Miller A type system tapping into the Gulf. But most important is the trend of closed Lows in New England/Eastern Canada. We can thank the storm that did miss us on Sunday for creating the block that will slow down the Christmas storm. While I like the look of approaching the Baltimore record of 9.2"... there really isn't good support for liquid equivalent potential until 72 hours out. My professional call will be held back until Wednesday night. I highly recommend that. Once you put out a big number, you can't take it back. You can always build up though with more forgiveness from viewers. Also remember that the Christmas snow in 2002 brought 5 inches to Towson but only 1 for BWI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember that the Christmas snow in 2002 brought 5 inches to Towson but only 1 for BWI It is amazing to me how much better the snow situation is here compared to locations just S and E. I grew up in Severna Park, and I never really understood how the difference between SP/Annapolis and Towson/Columbia and points N and W could be so extreme. But man...I just can't get over how many times I call my parents and hear that when they got 8", we got 12" up in Towson, etc etc. I mean, I understand the meteorology and the geography of it, but the major accumulation differences between locations so close to each other still surprise me.

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Wow, this XMAS storm looks like its coming coming together. But, I'll reserve my giddy until Thursday. I feel like I've seen this movie before. I appreciate Justin Buck's take on strategy in hyping/not hyping a storm from a TV Wx guy point of view. Thanks for that.
