WxUSAF Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I love storms that start with a wet pasting then turn to dry fluff. Makes for a great winter landscape. What are your guys thoughts on potential power outages with this? Minimal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 and despite the "rates debacle" snow storm we had earlier this month, I do believe this one will have 12:1-15:1 rates for at least some portion of the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVsnowlover Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It definitely shifted the heaviest snow south a little, but still looks great for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Lol the 12" is right over my house. I will take 8" and call it a great winter. Looks more like ~9" with 10:1 ratios. Still I'd be thrilled with it. I think 4-8" is a good call, with GFS as a low end and EURO as a high end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 These are all beginning at 12Z and per eurowx. Don't shot the messenger if the eurowx numbers are off.

MillvilleWx Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Looks like a Parr's ridge jackpot based on the snow map. From das to psuhoffmanThat's how you know it's accurate In all seriousness, that was a really nice run. I think the cutoff to the north will be a little sharper than depicted, but the writing is on the wall. My personal feeling on the jackpot area will be between Westminster/Baltimore down to BWI over to Damascus. Someone in that spot will likely cash in due to that consistently being in the area of best lift and maximizing on QPF. Will be a fun storm to watch unfold.

Deck Pic Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 That goes without saying They'll be accurate. Just in a bad spot. Their totals have been fine since 2009-10. before that, lots of questionable measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVsnowlover Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What's causing the dramatic shift south with the higher snow totals on the east side of the apps that all of the models show? Is this from the arctic push catching up with the storm forcing the heavier precip south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDweatherman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I agree that its best uvv and fronto that are causing qpf shifts. Those factors line up so it shouldn't be a surprise that what's being shown is evolving in that manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
