Hurricane Agnes Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Just now, RedSky said: Was out in it and all it's strange the flakes are big and rates do not look impressive as radar suggests yet near an inch the last 45 minutes I got a WU notification that Mt. Holly cancelled the WWA for Philadelphia but am not seeing that reflected on the NWS website yet. Still getting light white rain and stuff is sloughing off my car. Temp 33F.

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Down to SN- just a tick above flurries but not the light white rain as I had before. Temp still 33F and melting continues on walks/streets. Currently have about 0.2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 2.7" here so far. Heaviest snow of the event underway. 60" season is within sight. Yet another overperformer up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Severe underperformer here but alas it's April and that's how most April events go maybe .5" snow/sleet here. Will be lucky to see an inch April always favors N and W and elevation areas regardless of modeling. Euro had the right general idea but as noted I was a bit skeptical in its handling of thermals with no rain to start. Seems to have nailed the general qpf tho with the GFS and NAM following behind late to the show. Set my expectations at 2" slush here and happily exceeded that :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Am on the SW corner fringe of the mini death-blob and have changed from white rain to SN-. But whatever had accumulated has absorbed the earlier rain and is sloughing away. Temp is up to 34F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 45 minutes ago, RedSky said: Major supressage overnight for our potential historic weekend storm like South Carolina, say what! GFS super duper south. The EPS looks ok but that's all we have in our favor can we get that one back? Models in general moved away from the West to East wave Miller B look and seem to be moving more towards a Miller A. If you look at the general H5 on most ops and ens they now favor more of a push S of the PV but also more amplification of that trof which would allow any system to move NE/NNE. Notable step back or disappearance on energy riding around the backside of the PV and under our region......likely hit a data sparse region for now (when I see key features suddenly vanish on ALL models at this range in one single run to the next it is an indicator that the energy entered an area that doesnt record data as well out in the PAC though many will argue against this.....happens quite a bit tho in actuality only to reappear in a few runs) I think, as we have seen over and over and over this year, we are at that lead time where the models change the look of the system or 'squash' it only to get it back when we get within 72-96 hours. I could be wrong on that tho.....maybe this will be the one that we actually lose, but I am leaning against that for now. I actually like where we sit right now with plenty of wiggle room which we need for April snows and still plenty of BIG hits on ens members. In short, I think the sheared/suppressed look is overdone and we see it come back around by Wed-Thurs on the models. Not sure what the end result will be but not sounding the all clear yet until the NAO area ridging wanes. This is still being signaled as a flip from neg to pos which is usually an Archambault trait so potential for something interesting still exists. Eta: the part about losing the feature completely only to bring it back.....we used to call this the Scott Simard effect back in the 90s as he was a student from new England that noted this regular cycle where models lose key energy out of the PAC then bring it back mysteriously.
