Where you live plows will be out in force during and after. Roads would be easily passable by Wednesday morning. It's been a light winter...I'd argue things are cleaned by nightfall Tuesday. This is a quick moving storm and a lot of the DOT budgets haven't been hit so equipment and manpower will not be sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanconway63 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 how did the 00z Euro Op Compare to the 00z Euro EPS...was it east, west, the same??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the euro develop the storm differently than the gfs? Does it not have the low in the Tn Valley? From what I can tell -- Euro doesn't have that secondary low that moves in to the Apps like the GFS does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that the EPS looks closely like the EURO OP Correct. EPS is ~2:30 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the GFS holds it back hence the NW burb with the coastal low. I would imagine if the Ohio Valley energy weren't there it would look very similar to the Euro.

poolz1 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 12z euro op...Between hours 96-102 the low seems to be stationary and drops 8mb during that timeframe. Better look than the 00z run for big snow potential... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondTarHeel Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Assuming everything fell as snow, what kind of ratio are we looking at? Wet paste is usually 10:1 or lower, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I wasn't implying SV is right.. more that snowmaps are ruining winter weather forecasting. It's pretty sad how many mets only post snowmaps.. and of course the main response was SV is too low, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Ok I know this is uber picky but if the slp can get about 30 miles more north in its path before it stalls and turns ene I would go from about 15" to 30". Yes I'm getting greedy but why not. And I will be totally happy with 10-15" but man if that low gains just a smudge more latitude before it espaces and the crazy convective band pushes up here WOW.

Looking at the concensus from the ensembles appears the Low center a bit further offshore , almost perfect !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 AFD is in... .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Attention has turned to the upcoming system expected to reach the Mid-Atlantic Monday night-Tuesday. The potential exists for accumulating snow over portions of the Mid-Atlantic region. High pressure will depart the Mid-Atlantic region Monday. Two systems will approach the region, one from the northern stream and one from the southern stream Monday night. These two systems will likely phase off the east coast early next week. Many specifics are unknown at this time but models are trending that accumulating snow is expected with higher confidence at higher elevations. Changes in track and timing of the phasing of the two systems will alter conditions across the region. At this time, rain or snow is likely Monday night-Tuesday. There are factors working for the possibility of snow as well as against: if the Euro solution is correct the low will deepen along the Carolina coast around midnight/early Tuesday morning. The GFS takes an upper low from the Ohio Valley, across the Mid Atlantic and theN into New England. The latter would not be the better solution for snowfall but both are implying that the sub-1300 meter thickness line would set up somewhere west of I-95. If this indeed is how this develops then west of the cities could see snow overnight. East of I-95 would be a mix or liquid: if air flow comes off the Bay/Atlantic water temperatures are 47-50. Against is the fact that we are now entering mid March. After sunrise it will become hard for the sun to work on the atmosphere. And Euro has the low deepening east of the Delmarva by midday Tuesday. Generally once it reaches that location it is difficult to get accumulating snowfall regardless of the time of year - the moisture cuts off in the Mid Atlantic. Upslope snow showers will likely continue into Wednesday along the western slopes of the Allegheny Front. Below normal temperatures are expected mid to late week as high pressure moves into the region Thursday. A clipper system may impact the region late week.

showmethesnow Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Just glanced at the discussion and didn't see it mentioned. Euro has a stronger shortwave running up the trough from the south that closes off around OC 102 hrs.. We also see the 700's closed off of OC at 102 hrs as well as the surface low present as well. So what we have is a stacked low. This is is the reason we see such a rapid intensification from hour 90 of 998mb to 983mb 12 hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Something I haven't seen posted for the euro would be a surface temp map. Just wondering how cold we are looking. I'd think pretty darn cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 even during the superstorm we mixed, so i think a period of mixed precip should be expected. also, the AFD mentioned the warm waters off the coast, so that could play into the freezing line pushing west a bit as well. doesn't matter, though. after this winter, any period of accumulating snow is welcome.
