snowfan Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 too many people asking questions, making incorrect model observations, not letting a model run finish, etc. in the storm thread. same old same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The PBP on the Nam left something to be desired. It is either a prolonged ice event with wave 1, or its not. The area either got smoked with snow on Wednesday, or rather Philly to NYC did. The coastal low was either perfect or too far east. Perfectly clear after reading all that.

North Balti Zen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 That NAM run was apparently both an AND a "next" at the same time. It was Schroedinger's NAM run based on the PBP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Honestly the NAM run wasn't that good for us...mostly light snow with wave 2 which we know isn't going to cut it during the daytime in march. Looking at the 6 hour precip plots on IMW verse the radar on TT shows it starkly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeathermanB Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I don't know about you.. But i'm always preferring model consistency of the NAM, with the same amount of snow each run. Not those stupid 10:1 ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feloniousq Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 This has Jim Cantore on the Mall written all over it. I'm sorry, there's no way we are getting 15-25 inches of accumulation in daylight with temps in the mid-30s. That NAM 3k snow map is hilarity--and most people know that--but there are definitely plenty that won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Actually I could see the top end being a little higher if we really get a stall of the low in the right place with a CCB overhead.

In any event, sleet would beat rain to start this thing. If it stays sleet, that would suck, but would still beat rain. Expand A sleetfest with a few inches of wet snow works well this time of year if you still want to have something on the ground for more than a few hours after it stops.

You’re going to have redundancy and amateur hour when you have amateurs comment on something as complicated as wx. Mods do their best to cut the real crap (I should be a mod btw ).
