I commute an extra hour every day for my 20 extra inches of snow a year and 10 degree cooler days in the summer. Gfs and Icon so far have put the nam crisis to bed. At this point the coastal idea seems dead but maybe a slightly better trend in the waa and we could still see 3-5" in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Also, does the ICON "true SLR" algorithm have a track record of underdoing the ratios? Maybe it hasn't been around long enough for us to know for sure, but I'm honestly curious about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we infer a shift farther north due to the high being so far north? See my post above. The high isn't the problem. Confluence isn't the problem. Compression of the upper level flow is the pricked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper level flow is due east. It could bump north 50 miles at this point but not too much more imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I thought it was odd to see the American models having the arctic high so far north, but then I noticed the midday euro has it positioned much farther south and almost perfectly for our region! This high would be textbook! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Guys NAM and GFS are absolutely compromised by this shutdown. My buddy at NWS confirmed this fact. He said to blend the Canadian and Ukie for the consensus. He’s thinking 3-6” area wide for Maryland and dc proper. 8” lollipops in central vaThe numerical models are not compromised. We’ve received all the data necessary to run efficiently and the 0 and 12z RAOB recaps have actually shown fewer sites with issues which means data ingestion has been best it’s been in a while. Idk where your friend heard this, but it’s not true. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's part that in so much as the combination of the dominant low to the northeast and the system crashing into the west coast is compressing the whole trough and flattening it. But it's the suppression of the whole h5 trough that's washing out the system not the flow to the northeast. If this system was amped up we would be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 At this point I think it's safe to throw out the wacky NAM run. Most guidance looks good for a nice 2-3" event, with maybe a bit more in VA and southern MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I agree with the rest. 2-4 possibly 3-6 seems realistic. Great way to end the snow drought. And an amazing start to an incredible pattern coming up for the next month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an amazing pattern coming up, and the good thing is, after this coming week I'll have a lot more free time. I'm really looking forward to this.
