metalicwx366 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Come on, where folks really thinking the amount of snow, etc that the RAP and HRRR was showing was going to verify? Hell I could have told you that. They are alright with precipitation but not temps and snowfall. You guys want to see the 2-8 inches of snow it's runs were showing for SGA on 1/29/14. I surely got that much snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we just dipped below freezing over the last few minutes, at least. We'll see. The truth is that I never really expected any snow until RAH put 2-4" in our forecast, but I'm expecting it now. I'll take 2" of IP, too... whatever form is okay. When the NWS puts it in the forecast, I take note... Check out Lookout's post. It looks like a warm layer at 879 mb (and around it) is killing us. 850s are actually slightly below 0C. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/43064-36-37-event-is-it-this-seasons-last-gasp/page-40#entry2861530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some really strong rates would certainly have a chance to push through. I agree on the other part as well, I really didn't expect anything other than ZR until today. Unfortunately I was expecting it this afternoon and now I'm a sad weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Shouldn't we be in storm mode? I'm in the middle of a major winter storm! I give the local mets and GSP props for not saying anymore than rain! They absolutely nailed it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it sucks. If it was just 2 or 3 degrees cooler throughout the column, we'd have 2 feet of snow, by the time it is all said and done. Wow.

mackerel_sky Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anybody see the Euro snow map for next Thursday? You may want to take a peek, and start a thread! It's only 7 days out. I'm assuming it was the 12z run and it looks very cold around that time anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no hope for that system. I've glanced at it a few times and pretty much never seen an interesting solution. One of the last few GFS runs had some sort of fantasy storm around 300 hours, though, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
