Does Wxsim have an algorithm for a kitchen sink because that seems like the only thing lacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 0z NAM is colder for Thursday into Friday and yields a decent little snowfall for most of us...all snow for most NW of the Del River: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thursday night looks like light snow to start especially NW of the Del River. It may transition over to plain rain especially South of the PA turnpike tho most guidance is tracking the slp farther to our South each run which if that trend continues would bode well for more frozen than wet. Generally looks like a C-2"/1-3" type of system. If we can get this to strengthen and migrate near the 50/50 spot that would be beneficial for the Sunday event which right now favors rain to frozen.

The Iceman Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Flooding may be a serious concern with the frozen ground and high river levels across the area... 2 + inches widespread rain looking more and more likely for 95 up to the ne extension...

LR has been slightly better recently but bad taste in my mouth still from 6 weeks ago or so. Cautiously optimistic is my mantra this year as well as seeing is believing. Models can be as persistent as they want but doesnt always mean they are right. One of the fears I've mentioned on here quite a bit recently is that when/if this nao flip happens we go dry as the stj quiets down. There are for the first time signs of this happening now via the euro family of LR guidance. Trying to stick mid range but hard not to look LR in this hobby as well. Again....cautious optimism. I would much rather have the modeled looks in the LR than have a total puke PAC and N Atl with progressive torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not busting on anyone but so many members on this and the MA subforum keep saying "perfect setup" is coming (for weeks now)...and meh, we got an 1" or 2 the other day. These upcoming threats are diminishing and look like a mess rather than anything interesting. And before you know it it's Feb then Spring is right around the corner. Yes, it hasn't been a blow torch but trying to get a snow storm has been hell. A normal 3-6" storm (all snow) seems like a pipe dream these days...
