Yea people in the eastern 1/2 of the forum trying to hold on and play “it’s not so bad” but the trends have been on the wall for the western 1/2 of the region for a while. I’ve gone from the heavy precip being west of me to the heavy being east of me over the last 3 days. Snow maps don’t tell the tale locally since temps are an issue 95 east but go back and look at runs 2-3 data ago that gave WV up to State Collegd PA 6”+ and now that area is nothing and the precip max is 95 east.

paxpatriot Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 You know it's a rough storm when you can't even get Nam'd. Us Hagerstown/Frederick/Winchester folks are sliding off into flurries on this run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I hate to keep touting the ICON. But go look at the 6Z Saturday run. That is when it started playing out this scenario and it has stayed that way since then. Still hasnt verified. But if it does nice performance from that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us west of 95 are running out of room on the cliffs edge. 95 east the problem is temps. Fronto! Rates! lol I have never been too interested in this beyond a quick coating. My official forecast is for an inch. If that verifies I would be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that bugs me the most is that when this first came up on the radar, temps were never really issue but the real cold push now isn't until Wednesday. I fully expect down near me to have 34 and "snow" with a dusting-1" at this point. I hope I'm wrong but we never do well with cold chasing precip as its usually delayed and in this situation even an hour can screw us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 44 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: The trough is going negative tilt with a lot of cross boundary flow and some pretty good forcing. This isn’t a typical front. But the waves impacts will be narrow. Somewhere is getting a 3-5” thump from this. But it could be north or northeast of us. That doesn’t mean it failed because it was a “typical front”. This is anything but. even w/ it going neg, I'm just not sure I buy a neg tilted frontal boundary getting 2" down. Sure hope your are right, and while the forcing shown above says maybe, I'll remain skeptical until proven otherwise w/ this one. Sure hope your right though....believe me.

MD Snow Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 13 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: I doubt that morning band is much. Temps are really questionable even up here. And even if it dropped a quick 1-2” it probably would melt during the lull then the afternoon drops another 1” and the numbers say we got 3” but only 1” otg. I hate that crap. If you look at the 3k’s dipiction, the morning band stays in place and just hands off to the actual frontal band. There really isn’t a lull. I doubt temps get much above freezing tomorrow north and west of Baltimore if 3k is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGolfBro Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think as long as we have low expectations of the FROPA this could be a fun dynamic couple hours tomorrow afternoon and early evening. I still think someone will pick up 3+ inches and some will be wondering “what snow”. Pretty much a nowcast deal to see where the best dynamics set up.

clueless Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yeah. East trend sucks. But I’ve done ok this winter. You kids to the east may score an inch or two. I’ll take one for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 If you pause that NAM depiction, looks like about a 3-4 hour thump of snow after the changeover. I hope its right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDweatherman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 GFS is a solid outcome, PSU can live with that I would assume. Halted the east trend. Edit to say I want to see the FV3 as it has been good the last few runs for us. 6z was east so I'd like to see it come back west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Snow Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Fv3 is really good. Gets areas north in the morning and then gets us all in the afternoon. Someone with a little elevation along the md/pa border will get 1-2” in the morning imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Those simulations with snow bands dropping into the northern tier late morning before the main stuff later in the day is quite interesting. I wonder how likely that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
