Bob Chill Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The cluster in WVA is a little caution flag but obviously the overwhelming majority hit us good. Looks like MD is ground zero for both mean precip and mean snowfall. I meant MD/NOVA is ground zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Are their any big ones Bob? I can't shake the notion that this might end up as a pretty big storm. There's 12" ones in there. Can't really tell what the biggest is. Half have 6" or more fore many of us. Mean is 5-6" which is pretty good considering mean precip is .50-.60. Guess not many rainers in there. You'll be glad to know there's like only 1-2 unacceptable south solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Where did the op have the low relative to the mean? Was it at VA beach as well? They're all pretty much in the same neighborhood GFS/Euro/ens wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Unlike the last storm, where we had major models split on the impact, sure seems like we have pretty good agreement for this storm. Heck, even saw that the NAV-G is on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Euro ensemble not out yet but these are 12z/500mb NH Euro GFS GFS ENS Thanks. I saw that list and took a deep breath when I saw the year at the top. I was wrong, but I thought pd 2 might make the list. At least at 5h across the U.S. it's similar, but I don't have maps that show more of the NA continent and the Atlantic. I'm sure they exist, but I won't look for them.

nflwxman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 They're all pretty much in the same neighborhood GFS/Euro/ens wise. Thanks. That generally puts me right on the gradient. Nice to see very few members going north of the mean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, even saw that the NAV-G is on board. Yeah. We have to feel pretty good about where the models are right now. But they can always agree later on a worse result for our area. I think its a givin we see some snow at this point. But how much is way up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Where did the op have the low relative to the mean? Was it at VA beach as well? Hard to exactly tell. 90 is over Roanoke and 96 is just off OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks. That generally puts me right on the gradient. Nice to see very few members going north of the mean though. The mean and the op are really close together on this one. That plus the GFS/GEFS support looking similar is very encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen7908 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 must be for 10 day total because I counted around .87" Ok, I see the problem. The "total" amount I quoted was the sum of hours 0-3, 0-6, 6-9, 6-12 etc. Someone needs to fix their code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cae Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I doubt it, because the weatherbell maps (which we all know are 10:1) show our area getting about 9", while the Eurowx maps give us 11.5. It would make sense if Eurowx accounted for ratios. Thanks, that makes sense. Re: the EuroWx map snow ratios... DT posted something saying that those maps use the 'Evan Kuchera algorithm'. Can someone explain how that differs from, say, WxBell ratios? Thanks in advance. I believe EuroWX uses a 10:1 ratio. So if the model says you'd get the equivalent of 1" of rain, it will convert that to 10" of snow. I don't know what the Evan Kuchera algorithm is, but it probably takes into account factors like the ones HM discusses above. InstantWeatherMaps.com uses that algorithm as well.
