When looking at it, the NAM and GFS do not have radically different low placements. The NAM just explodes the price north and west where the GFS doesn't.

 

One thing I will give the NAM is that it has been very consistent with this for the most part. If it is going down, it is going down hard.

I'm so confused right now. I figured that it would cut back totals but it increased them. If I get anything above 6 I will also frolic not naked but atleast shirtless while flexing like Arnold.

 

Lol, even at the 10:1 ratio it gives us 10 inches. If it calls this I will NEVER question the NAM again.

 

If you want a good laugh, go post this map in the DC thread. They will probably try to ban you.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...

FIRST SNOW BAND...ASSOCIATED WITH MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS...CONTINUES

TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD A BIT FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. SNOW

RATES NEAR AN INCH AN HOUR WERE REPORTED FURTHER SOUTH...AND THIS

MAY CONTINUE AS THE BAND SHIFTS NORTHWARD. HAVE ADJUSTED THE POPS

AND THE AMOUNTS PER THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS FROM SPOTTERS AND

RADAR DATA THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON...WITH HIGH QPF

EXPECTED NOW THROUGH 7PM...LEADING TO SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER

THE HIGHER TERRAIN...STORM TOTAL.

MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A SLIGHTLY NORTHERN TRACK WITH

THE UPPER LOW...AND THUS THE TRACK AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COASTAL

LOW OVERNIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT

FORECAST...WITH A SLIGHT UPTICK IN AMOUNTS ACROSS THE REGION BUT

MOST NOTABLY TO THE AREAS SOUTH OF I-70. THE NAM STILL SEEMS TO

BE THE MOST BULLISH WITH SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS THE REGION BUT DOES A

GREAT JOB OF PORTRAYING THE DEFORMATION ZONE THAT IS ANTICIPATED

TO DEVELOP ACROSS A PORTION OF THE REGION TONIGHT/SATURDAY

MORNING. WHERE THIS EVENTUAL BAND OF SNOW/TROWAL WILL SET UP AND

PRODUCE THE BEST SNOW FALL RATES/AMOUNTS...STILL REMAINS IN

QUESTION BUT....GENERALLY ANTICIPATE OVER A FOOT OF SNOW FROM

WETZEL-GREENE-FAYETTE-WESTMO RIDGES AND ALMOST 2 FEET (OR MORE) IN

THE PRESTON...TUCKER...AND GARRETT.

ALL IN ALL VERY MINUTE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST...WITH ENHANCEMENTS

MADE BASED ON THE LATEST QPF FORECAST FROM WPC. AS WAS MENTIONED

PREVIOUSLY...SNOW RATIOS SHOULD REMAIN AT OR BELOW CLIMATOLOGY IN

THE 10-12:1 RANGE THROUGH THE EVENT...IT WILL BE THE MESOSCALE

BANDS OF SNOW THAT WILL ENHANCE THE SNOW TOTALS ACROSS THE REGION.

IN REGARD TO THE WIND...GUSTS TO 30MPH MAY BE POSSIBLE IN THE

HIGHER TERRAIN...ESPECIALLY AS THE LOW LEVEL JET RAMPS UP THIS

EVENING. THIS COULD CAUSE BLOWING SNOW AND VISIBILITY CONCERNS IN

THOSE LOCATIONS.

AS THE COASTAL LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...SNOW WILL LINGER WHERE

THE DEFORMATION BAND/TROWAL REMAINS...BUT SHOULD END FROM WEST TO

EAST BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE HRRR HAS SNOW ENDING FOR

MOST OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND THE AREAS FROM ZZV-PIT-DUJ BY EARLY

MORNING...BUT WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT PRODUCT END TIMES AS IS FOR

NOW.
