aldie 22 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 NAM certainly has held steady no doubt...seems to have ticked a bit colder as well during the event....wonder if that's a function of the heavier precip it's advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'd sacrifice half of my sleep to see that 3K NAM deathband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Look at Ferrier and snow depth on 3k, its like 1-2". I think much of what is showing is sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The positive snow depth map only showing 1” might be a red flag but hey if you had to make a forecast based off the NAMs you would certainly have to go 1-3” for most areas.

NorthArlington101 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’ll enjoy my sleet showers. Got the curse of the weenie down here. As well as my personal typical snow shield. Jokes aside, accumulating sleet would be interesting. I still think it’s mostly a myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 can we stop saying things like the NAM3 has 5" and crap that like? The TT 10:1 map has 5". The model does not. If you want to know what the actual model is doing, look at the snow depth change or Ferrier maps. They're much lower, indicating significant riming of the snow, consistent with the forecast soundings which show a possible warm layer around 800. It's marginal with that warm nose, so those depth and Ferrier maps may end up too light, but the model does not have 5". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 2010 when MD was the bullseye there were storms throughout the year that veered from that to the north and south. There wasn't the same general cutoff for snowfall from every event. I have been inside the northern edge of the best stuff a few times... and just outside it most of the time, but its been somewhere right in this same area with every snowfall event this winter that impacted the mid atlantic. Really odd. Probably just a fluke thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really odd. Probably just a fluke thing. I can relate to this as well for MBY. It is amazing repetition this winter with the gradient location and yeah I guess its a fluke thing , but still annoying amongst other things this winter season. Maybe we can buy 50 miles in 36 hours. But like you said, this is a tiny feature, so good luck to the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Snow Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Don’t think it was mentioned yet but 12z hrdps has a general 1-3” dc north. Some 4” lolies as you get toward the pa/md line. Early on it seems the mesos are favoring dc north for accumulating snow while the globals are favoring Baltimore south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Nice improvement on the euro. Much better areawide precip shield....Looks like most of the mesos that target an E/W line right through DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
