boo radley Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 They kinda have to be...so many variables could keep this a nuisance. March sun angle...how heavy is precip..surface air temps...elevation etc. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand They should be more excited considering the overnight models, plus the Euro ensemble mean has the LSV at 6-8 inches of snow & the Control has 10-12 for the LSV. Even if we get half of that,it would still be a good storm for the time of year. CTP “most likely” map has near 1 inch for most of us, while the “high end” has near 10 inches for most of us.

Expand looking at 0z/6zs im not stepping off any ledges. Actually feel progression looks good for many of us in here. 500/700 panels on GFS/NAM appear vertically stacked and in a nice spot off VA coastline. Should start looking good today.

Only guess is that they see some progression that we dont and are goin out on a limb. I dont think big big totals are likely as its not that cold right now, and yes we will lose snow due to sun angle blah blah, but the dynamics can do miracles for snow totals.

pasnownut Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 and like i said, for those wishing it away, meh'in whatever, this dude has juice and will make a season for some, it will break heart of others. But 1" w/ 2" in Bloomfield (which as per the map is getting fringed at best). Poor work IMO.

pasnownut Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If anyone wants to see a thing of beauty, loop the 6z 3k panels and what an amaizing evolution verbatim. If we could tug that thing north a little more, it would be a fantastic way to end the season IMO. Still too many moving parts IMO, but fun to look at nonetheless.

Expand I am still holding the belief that it comes a bit north like the GFS showed last week. EURO is catching on to that as well. Mets need to use their skill now more than ever to forecast it and not just rely on models. If anything this is so interesting that we are 24 hours out and still don't have a complete solution to it.

We all need to dig into our meteo bag of tools to figure out how this evolves. seeing 3 LP centers in a couple panels is a HUGE challenge, as subtle changes make a huge difference in where this goes and how it gets there.

Itstrainingtime Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm inclined to think as of right now based off everything that I see that we see nothing of significance through about 9pm tomorrow night. I'm starting to embrace the idea of a 8-12 hour period of accumulating snow overnight tomorrow through late morning Wednesday. For Lanco I'd go 2"-5" as of now with some potential upside. I believe the possibility of a whiff is decreasing but i also doubt their is much upside over say 6"-8". That is my 1st totally uneducated guess and it's for Lanco and immediate surrounds specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that knew anything about weather knew and understood that. Problem is most folks see snowmaps flying around and dont get the inside scoop like we do. That forecast posted earlier for 1-2" is also gunshy bunk map....especially for the southern reaches of it. Northern part might verify, but south is and has been looking to be in the crosshairs of a good event...especially if #2 bombs out off delmarva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
