What we need is the 2 pieces to merge overhead instead of staying separate. Another VERY close call but the trailing piece is still too late. That trailing piece is what's keeping the surface temps up when the coastal passes. If we can get them to work together it could do something for our area. Still a long shot but if you want to know what to look for...that's it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I didn't like the more N-S alignment but it works anyway. This setup is right out of the 13-14 playbook. We had several like it. One in Dec and another couple in JF.

The mean snow during the next 5, 10, and 15 days for the immediate DC area is 0, 1, and 2 inches. The percent chance of at least 1inch of snow for the same time period is 0%, 33%, and 56%. The percent chance of at least 6 inches is 0%, 3%, and 6%. Of course day 15 only brings us to February 8th when the pattern is expected by most to improve. The updated values from the 00 UT EPS run for (00Z Jan 25 to 00Z Feb 09). The mean snow during the next 5, 10, and 15 days for the immediate DC area is >T, 2, and 3 inches.

NorthArlington101 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Canadian sneaks us a little somethin' somethin' hrs 120-126 as well. Doesn't have the GFS flash freeze & paste storm though. Worlds apart there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time we are left stand on the wall with everyone else dancing. We could use a good 4-6 incher to get morale up in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ha, GFS is almost bigger than what it even showed. Vort doesn’t quite grab the surface low enough to throw a CCB back at us, but it’s close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS solution is touchy, but I like it consistently doing a similar thing 8 days out. We just need that to continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Uh GFS? You Okay? Completely dumps just NE of Maine. Gives us generally 7-10" of snow. Good thump of snow for most of the area for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is there seems to be some wiggle room with the end result snowing on us. It's going to be a long week....the risk of all rain won't go away until the short range when we can trust what we're seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I would mind if it works out. It looks very March 5, 2015-ish in a way, to me. Strong front goes through, with a decent wave moving up. Iffy setup, but hey, it has happened before. (ETA: As I recall with that March 2015 event, the GFS was actually hinting at that possibly happening some time in advance, for what it's worth.)

Also helps that it wouldn't take long for stickage. That event worked out in the March sun, even for DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
