I have had a hard time believing some of those SW VA snow maps. Way overdone for this event, but I could be wrong too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, looks like we got a good chance to beat the 3.8 form early jan. Radar looks nice. My bar is 4" What you say? Too high ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bar is 4" What you say? Too high ? I think 4 may be easy. Sounds like good ratio stuff falling to the west. If the first couple hours of good rates are above 10-1 we should be golden.

BlizzardNole Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 On 2/21/2015 at 1:15 PM, BaltimoreWxGuy said: Well it doesnt make sense...the criteria should be more uniform. For warnings to surround 2 counties and those 2 counties have advisories is pointless...The NWS also dropped the ball yesterday on the issuance of advisories for just 1-2 while their point and clicks and snow maps argued for more, they later fixed the issue...Anyway I see some precip reports in NOVA...confirmation? I noticed that and it looks weird, but are those two counties in the State College NWS area? If so, that would explain it as they have higher criteria than the Phila office where those warned counties to the east are. Looks funny tho.

Yeah, I mean-- some data had us snow till 4pm, I didn't check blacksburg because it's 100 miles SW< but it has me concerned for me at least.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Does anybody remember last December or the December before (I think it was Sunday the 8th) there was a snowstorm that dumped about 8" - 12" of snow north of I-70 when initially only 4" - 6" was forecast? Does this setup look familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some data was pretty stingy on snow just south of route 460, so I may be OK for while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
