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

Oh man, sorry to hear that.

Thanks...is sucks but he was very old, we got to say goodbye and he went peacefully without us having to make the decision to have him put down so that was better and it happened before the storm also.

[Ginx snewx]

Has to, I agree. It happened in 2010. That snow was extremely dense after it got that deep.

Hamden Ct had legit 40 in 2013. What do you think your ratios are. Bufkit is extremely impressive, maximizing SGZ. If the GFS is near on QPF someone breaks 40. Sometimes you have to go big in the face of consistency.

I wouldn't know about ratios unless I melted and measured, but it's pretty cold right now, 22.9, and the snow is powder so I'd imagine they might be pretty high.

Euro has 6-8" through 1am

Euro looks drier than other guidance but still a big hit and better than last night...Let's get it on!

Yea, this is the real deal. Let's forget the models and enjoy. Going for  a long walk with the dog when the good stuff gets going later

[MacintoshPro]

I know its not important, but check out the 24 hr panel.... 1" of precipitation in DC in 6 hours.

[Bob Chill]

lol- what a raking from 1am-7am. .9 - 1.1 liquid all around

[ravensrule]

28" by 1 p.m., that can't be right according to Matt and Bob's description

[Deck Pic]

Gonna wait for WXbell maps, but good hit for DC metro and NOVA...not as good for North, but still a pummeling

12z GFS and RGEM had same idea... going to be a fun night

[ravensrule]

36" just west of DC at 7 p.m. 32" in DC 30" over WxUsaF.

From my better res maps...2"+ for all DC metro and NOVA

[potvn_sx]

Exactly... Some may see the most snow in their lives...some will not. Either way this is what every single one of us dreams of. Enjoy!

Yep. it gives DC enough to get second on the all time list providing the DCA 75% measuring tendency don't kick in.  It's a bad run for folks in PA but good for us.

Trying not to MBY, but can someone let me know what the QPF/Snowfall for SBY is?  Euro has been the only solution consistently showing decent snow here.

[ravensrule]

Final totals just add 1" to everything i posted above.

[ravensrule]

Baltimore metro ends with 28"

[Bob Chill]

Final totals just add 1" to everything i posted above.

 

QPF is 2 - 2.4 through the corridor and west. Jack in NW VA of 2.7. Quite uniform. It's a great run but most of the damage is done by 7am for the cities and close burbs. Heaviest axis is just west

Dry slot?

Salisbury looks like 12".

Makes me think we might have been too conservative with our calls.

[Bob Chill]

SBY is 1.9 liquid and 14" on the snow maps.

The EuroWx maps have been pretty accurate in the past, so even if they are overdone by a few inches it is an unreal storm. This baby is locked in.
