psuhoffman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The snow depth on the 18z euro seems best in line with the qpf that falls when it’s snow looking at the 1 hour precip type and temps. DC flips to ice between 12-1pm. Northeast of Baltimore holds on another 2 hours or so. This looks in line with the qpf that falls as snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Agreed PSU. We have been through these plenty of times to know that this is most likely a 5-8 event for those of us NW. It is just how we do these. The temps before onset arent the best we have seen with this type of setup before. But they arent horrible either. And the HP is in perfect position for us as well.

tombo82685 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 You can't go off 850s with this setup, the warming is above 850 in the 700-800mb zone. Best bet is to go off 546 thickness. Once that passes you best to look for a warm nose poking in in that zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks in line with the qpf that falls as snow Living very close to the bay, it really annoys me the way it "zeros" over the bay and inland a bit. I get what it's doing - obviously snow isn't going to accumulate on the water, but it isn't precise with water boundaries so folks along the shore kind of have to just estimate their output. I kind of wish it just ignored the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have no choice That would still leave me about 12” short of mean and 5” short of my median so I want one more warning event in March then I’ll call it a winter. That look early Match btw has some potential. It’s not going to look exactly like the day 10-15 says. If it drops that trough just a little more it’s a good pattern. If it goes the wrong way it’s winter over lol. But we could have a shot at a March event in that general look. I could even see a major phased storm with that PV hanging out displaced to our north if something rotated around it and pulls it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a flip to sleet before snow is likely given the depth of the low level cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight I should have differentiated more. Live and learn. But looking at it now...the weak modoki (1959, 1969, 1978, 1995, 2005, 2015) are a mix of bad, ok, and good but all the blockbusters were in the moderate to strong camp (1958, 1964, 1966, 1987, 2003, 2010). Not a bad one in the group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V-day was a very different progression. Much stronger more dynamic system and the slp took a good track but there was too much ridging (one similarity) and mid level warmth. Places in the interior northeast got 30”+ from that storm. The 2013 storm was a similar setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak Ninos seem mediocre. i heard 97-98 had a lot of close blockbuster misses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was colder. We were well below freezing at onset. But that was a juicy system as well. That storm is about as good as we can do here with a cutter. Solid foot everywhere out here.
