2/15 Snow threat

Recommended Posts

It had me getting 12 plus inches from the ccb just 2 to 3 hours before it hit. ... I got 3

Because everyone was looking at and posting snow maps. If you looked at the 850s they were way to warm for any snow. I posted this in the other topic last night about how accurate they were. (This was 18z) Look at these pics. No other model had 1" qpf over nj nyc li ct and it was all supposed to be rain even though the snow maps were showing snow. It had that band to a T even down to the lightning.

What I think happened was it was counting what it thought would be sleet (due to the 925mb temps) as snow.

It showed me (Brooklyn) with over 1" of liquid and it wasn't far off. Temps sucked but QPF forecast wasn't off

I know. It was spot on. I was having some fun at the hrrs expense. All people were posting were the snow maps last night. They are clown maps. Then we had a bunch of bridge jumpers that thought it was going to be all rain. It was painfully obvious it wouldn't start as snow or even sleet for that matter (not a deep enough cold pool to refreeze it in a thunderstorm lol) but it was also just as obvious that it would change over to snow.

lol I know I hate snow maps lol They should be banded. They are all standardized 10:1, the only ones that seem decent are the SREFs it accounts for ratios it seems
