1/21 Clipper that's not a Clipper Thread

[ravensrule]

Heck, based on the GFS verbatim, someone in the mountains near Wisp/Canaan/Snowshoe could see a foot.

You know Sparky will be close to that. He lives on his own little mountain.

Yeah I'm not calling this a clipper. Don't want to trick ourselves into thinking clippers are good.

It's the poaler vertix storm

Thank you

This may be one of the very rare times that the snowfall map output may be correct.....because by default, most of them assume the best ratios and most optimum conditions anyway I'm guessing?   

[Interstate]

Next question... what do the school systems do?  Do they cancel school with no snow falling and a possible bust in the public eye?

Loop the 500 vort map out to hour 48. It's a thing of beauty.

Did Wes faint?  Where is he?

most schools in MD are closed, or at least have a half day tomorrow as it is. I'd imagine schools with only half days will close all together. Especially after the Anne Arundel county debacle during the sleetfest a week ago

I'm not sure about the others, but for Wxbell, they assume 10:1 so I think those will be underdone if the QPF is correct.

This is a complicated vort. Not 101 type class. More like Vortschool 302 and stuff.

Gfs h7 is absolutely beautiful. Perfect rotation. 12-4pm is money. And it keeps crankin after.

[cpasi]

they will close 2 hours early IMO...

I think when he saw the GFS his fishing pole hit him in the head and he passed out.

Can we change the name of the thread since we are no longer treating it like a clipper

Probably writing the most exciting CWG post in three years

We will need a new thread shortly so there is no point.

Cobb output from 12z nam fairly even for IAD and DCA....8.5 snow, 12 hour duration, temps in the teens for most of the event...definite good old days retro type storm..

Temps might be the most enjoyable part of this storm. It is gonna be cold, cold, cold

[Snowden]

What's the start time of this event? Are we going to be facing another carmageddon?

Yes it does

snow is missing as well. Chill and Ian are all good, but like to have Wes and snow anoint the storm to keep confidence at a consistently high level.

The SREF's make the NAVGEM look like the EURO.
