Because he thinks anything less than a 6" paste bomb is a waste of time. If DCA gets 3" anyone that understand climo should be doing flips but he would be complaining.

Even though the snowfall total probably went down for me, I'm OK with that tradeoff. For people who are in locations where temps are marginal, it was a good run.

Hopefully we get a few inches out there while I’m there. That is due to the cold press and track of the low. This track isnt the best for them in all honesty. I am slightly worried about being fringed with the heaviest stuff myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at the end of its run so there's more to come, but it looks like it also shifted south / colder. The ICON did too. After the 06z blip, ICON has gone back to showing widespread 1-3".

MD Snow Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 ICON seems to be a little warmer than the NAM but same general idea in terms of track and precip etc...convergence. Now we can really start talking details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Mesos are kind tonight. Really shows the mechanics of heavy precip with a borderline column and a snowier outcome. Like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trend with temps being a little colder is a big deal. We have no room to lose. Getting something back is great. Safe to say the mesos are prob overdone with precip and the gfs is too stingy. Usually how it works. That leaves my yard with an acceptable event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm kinda expecting the euro to come in a little colder now. It's been the most steady model in general by far the last 4 runs. Usually means good things. The only thing that was bad with the 12z run was pushing the rain snow line to PA. Bring that back south tonight and the bleeding has reversed.

Bob Chill Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 @Ji Gonna need .5 qpf to pull that off. Your yard might get 4". I'm still liking my 2-3" call from earlier for my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to see UKIE hold the line Yea, it was super close with temps. If the ukie comes in a little colder and still has a good slug of precip then we're in pretty good shape for the short range. Need to have a little room to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEM at hour 48 looked much better though and had some 4 to 5 inch amounts where the GGEM has only 2. Probably getting towards the range to pay more attention to RGEM rather than GGEM.
