bluehens Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've been seeing a pattern on some of the models showing that little gap of lightper precip over Philly and DE....think it is from the dry slot we MAY have around for a short time period 2mor idk That gap has been there for days on most models from time to time. It is weird but very persistent. Have not heard a good explanation for it aside from possible dry slot and subsistance zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have now seen it all. Brining truck followed by 2 salt trucks dropping tons of salt and not even snowing. Unfortunately these efforts will likely prove futile in less than 12 hours when its puking snow. The brining I understand, the layer of salt I'm not so sure about.

It's not like they have had to use a whole lot of the salt so far this winter so why not go nuts with it. At least make the evening commute the best they can.

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 NAM pulls another one out of the hat. lets see if it finally gets some respect this time. Not really, it's MUCH further north than any other model. I was referring to it, on how the GFS / Euro trended towards it. Instead of the other way around. It deserves the Win, just for that.

zenmsav6810 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wow great storm, great thread. I'm sad I missed out on the model fest this last night/morning but engineering homework and low wage manual labor will do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellicast weenie radar, which includes virga, doesn't have anything up there yet. he's right. there's very light flurries here as well. ( at 2100 feet) regarding NAM....it's slightly 'warmer' at 21 hours....which means a slightly closer inland track. 540 line u can tell when u zoom in...very hard to notice position wise of the Low though. From 12z to 18z...but it is slightly warmer. rain/snow line wise, just a very minor shift. Were talking like a 10 mile difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 shemATC, it is called a dry slot....Basically if you buy the NAM the band stalls NW of the city...NYC actually does better than us because of that band. Shows you what that band will do for your totals. NAM probably too far NW with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
