But it will be a close call on Saturday and as of right now, it looks like the winners will once again be D.C., northern and central VA and southern MD. Not convinced it will be cold enough for all snow, even though the forcing will be stronger in certain areas of VA. which may lead to rain changing to snow. Whoever gets the snow, I can't see anymore than 1-3" at most since surface temperatures on Saturday will be pretty marginal for accumulation. Sunday still looks like a rain event for the most part with the thermal profiles not being very supportive of snow. Maybe near the PA line can see more of a mix and some minor accumulation. Saturday still looks to be the most interesting since a shift north is not out of the question. As for Tuesday, I hope the GFS is correct and we don't get anything because if we do, it will just be snow or a mix, changing to rain by later in the day. Let me know when your posts will be changing to less awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction tho- just as the western trough begins to progress east, the AO/NAO goes super positive, the trough retreats into N central Canada, and winter ends. Dunno if your kidding but that’s kind of what the guidance is trending towards imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I am saying is that beyond 6-7 days, NWP has not performed well this year. I will not give up based on the LR guidance now any more than I will believe it when it shows good things for mby. I think it is a watch threats materialize/disappear inside of 6 days kind of year, at least for around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are simply discussing where the pattern may be heading based on the current guidance. Nothing is etched in stone. Goes without saying.

NorthArlington101 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The FV3/RGEM/HDRPS/NAM/CMC being the northernmost models is almost a perfect throwback to December 9. I ignored them last time. Won't be doing so again. Still planning on heading back north for this one. God help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternFringe Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 No one said to give up, but you were both agreeing that maybe coming back in 2 weeks was a smart idea. My only point is that some threats this year have first materialized inside that 2 week window and have produced while many more have been modeled more than 2 weeks out that don't produce.

Interesting that the 18z euro picked up on the coastal enhancement band that sets up with a NE trajectory. Wasn’t there at 12z. FV3 picked up on it at 18z as well. Something to watch for areas south of say Annapolis and eastern shore if things do tick north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 At least the Euro was a bit more juiced and maybe ever so slightly more north, but we are going to need a pretty big adjustment or a bunch of small ones now for most of us to get in on anything other than some snow tv at best.

I love your objective analysis, it is one of the reasons this board is awesome. My point remains why should we be encouraged by the the 10+ day good looking patterns while immediately discouraged by the same 10+ day bad looking patterns? Neither has proven to be true with regard to ground truth snow this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
