psuhoffman Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 4 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: I think you’re right @psuhoffman about the weaker/drier trend. I’m also a bit worried about surface temps tomorrow afternoon and evening. 3k NAM is above freezing for almost everyone south of the M/D line even while it’s snowing. If it’s ripping, that will accumulate at 33-34, but light snow will mostly be white rain. I’m honestly not trying to be a selfish dick. If there was a way for DC and my yard to get 6” I would be all for it. But the thermal profile is pretty marginal and if we keep deamplifying this thing it’s going to be white rain for everyone. I’m rooting for an amped solution and then I’ll pull for banding to cool the column enough to give the cities some love on the front and back side and maybe they can get a nice thump in. That’s a better bet for everyone then rooting for this to become anymore progressive than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 That’s 10-1. Kuchera isn’t available for 6z so if comparing snow maps keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can be bitter about being fringed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Start time of midday in March with temps in the 30s. What could go wrong? I'm sure this will be as much fun as yesterday's coastal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 @WxUSAF looks like temps only drop to ~32 nw of the fall line and hover at 33-34 along 95. And that’s on the euro which is still more amplified. So a weaker solution might be even warmer at the surface. Those temps only work during the day in March with rates. Weak precip and that’s white rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will likely relocate somewhere in the next 5 years, and I wish I could move it, because I cant find anything I like as much when I browse homes online.

osfan24 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I just watched Bernie Rayno's periscope and he said he's been wrong about the storm and it's going to be south and east. He mentioned that these flat waves are tricky and said that Philly to Boston is in the 6+ now, but said the wave looks really weak and he thinks most places are going to struggle to get 6. The map he drew looked like NW of Baltimore up through New England got 6+. He mentioned DC and said maybe a couple inches there. Said we have to watch the strength of the energy today as it comes ashore but he's not impressed and knows a lot of people will be disappointed.

Living on Sue Creek I know I'm screwed no matter what happens. With that being said, i'll be rooting for the folks that have put down roots north and west of the cities. I hope you get crushed!

You should think about it @C.A.P.E. Maybe the board should pitch in and buy the lot and turn it into a snow retreat for the weary urban snow weenies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak precip and that’s white rain. Yup. Going to be rate and elevation dependent. @jayyy could see a couple inches more than me only a few miles away. I actually think LWX’s current forecast is pretty good, but could be a sharper dividing line unless there is more widespread front or backend snow. At the height of the storm tomorrow evening there will be a brutal dividing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 This feels so much like those storms where Cantore heads to DC or Baltimore and stands there as white rain falls and everything behind him is wet and it's a total bust. I'd be totally fine letting the NW crew get hammered with 6-10/8-12 with this one. I'm big dog hunting anyway, and this is like a 3-6 at best here, and it's probably not even that given the temperatures, timing and intensity.

WxUSAF Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 3-6” is a good storm for us anytime, let alone march. If I had to WAG right now, I’d say 2-3” for us and @Scraff, but we might have to measure it in batches with melting or rain in between. 3-5” by I70, and 4-8” for the far NW folks.
