STORM MODE THREAD- January 22-23 Mid Atlantic Storm Thread #4 - No Banter

[clskinsfan]

Exceptional. I've never seen anything like this. Tapping three bodies of water and very warm water at that. Likely to see a lot of lightning and explosive rates...3, 4 inches per hour.

 

I am loving this right here! When you have a seasoned met saying "exceptional I've never seen anything like this" You know your in good shape.

[jviper]

Do we have a name for this blizzard?

Are you going to be back in town for this??

[Wx4cast]

The weird thing is I expect that type of ridiculous qpf output from the NAM. You can easily write that off as the NAM being the NAM. I don't believe the GFS has any bias when it comes to overdoing qpf, so to see that much is startling and makes you wonder if maybe it is legit. It also has some support from the RGEM.

It has a bit of a bias still in showing too high a qpf in cold airmasses.

BLIZZARD JONAS

NO NO NO NO  NWS does not recognize TWC stupid naming of winter storms

Jonas if you want to believe the Weather Channel. This one should be Maximus Decimus Meridius if you've got to do something stoopid and name winter storms.

[jviper]

Jonas is the weather channel one. I like randytastic.

[JonathanW]

HRRR also showing a 17-18z arrival for snow in the DC area.

Super El Nino...2 extreme months of weather so far this winter

[dbsisson]

El nino says we call this storm "snow way Jose"

You asked the question but already knew TWC name???

If this is only a bit, we are going to get destroyed.

[Random Chaos]

"BECS"

[jviper]

No I googled it. Sorry

My banter is over.

Yeah, even if it is 20% overdone, still epic event.

[Bob Chill]

I'm sticking with nuclear snow globe. Atomic snow globe would be acceptable too.

GOAT Storm.

the post game discussions of this storm will take so long.....by the time we recover, the pattern will have flipped back to cold and snowy

GOAT Storm.

 

I've seen that acronym before...GOAT.  What does it mean? LOL!

[jburns]

The Dump

 

No other description needed.

[MacintoshPro]

Slightly off topic, but where do you guys get the exact qpf totals for the UKMET? I added up all the mm precip panels on meteocentree and got 2.1-3".

I think that's what others did too.  That sounds about what was posted a couple pages back.  It's something like four 6-h periods of >10mm or >15mm, there about.

[Bob Chill]

I'm guilty as well but let's keep banter in the banter thread and not discuss storm names and snow globes and stuff here.

[AlaskaETC]

I got 2.2"...it's probably bigger than that.
