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.

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.

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.

You sure about that? 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.

Cheers, thought I was going crazy. Yeah it's very minuscule but flakes are falling.

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...

 

Yeah, I wouldnt worry about it at this point.
