Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 3.7" and rates just picked back up. May be up to 5" after this round of heavier stuff moves through. Undeniable trend this year with southern shortwaves packing more juice than models were showing even in the short range. What a year around here. I still laugh at last winter's dire Armageddon drought thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your posts literally symbolize the epitome of the enthusiasm that drives half the board to be weather enthusiasts. I honestly don't think this forum [and the predecessor] would be the same without your posts. Don't trivialize them! I second this sentiment!

The weather is changing. Unusual snow events will increase, both in intensity and in frequency. I hope you’re right. Maybe we’ll get another 09’-10’ before then too!

Bob Chill Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 4 minutes ago, Deck Pic said: This band is super legit. Potentially the first low viz band imby. This is a pretty bad way to run a lull. I'm wondering about ratios. I have 3.7" and it def seems more than 10:1. Seems like models might be busting low on qpf. I've prob gotten .30 and that's through 6z. Most models had me around .20. Even the 3k. Sure feels like a reverse bust in progress... Eta: 3k has my yard around .45 by 12z. Pretty sure I'll have more than that looking at radar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We absolutely had some excellent analysis the past few days led by @Bob ChiII @MillvilleWx @Beachinand others. Glad we didn’t collectively throw in the towel per usual. I knew we had a decent shot when models had the jackpot in VA about 3.5 days out... best place to be in this setup a few days out is North of the progged bullseye. Planned out just fine! Anyway... should be closing in on 4 in the next little while per the deck ruler. Snow is piling up under this band 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
