Burghblizz Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 This is going to be tricky with timing. I can see a bit of a west trend where the post frontal snows have less precip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact the models are showing a general 2-4 or 3-6, but we also know that post frontal snows are usually fools gold. Honestly though even an inch would be fine on Christmas.

Ahoff Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I feel more confident that the WPC is putting us in pretty good accumulations. They can obviously change, but they always seem more conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Although we might get a bit more rain than we'd like, I still like our position with regards to better rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 A strange scenario to see the cut off low that brings such cold air yet has such an impressive ridge ahead of it. Its all timing and once this low cuts off, who knows how it will meander around. If it cuts off later we probably get through the rain faster and into the colder air. Ideally, we want to low to be cut off and slow down one the cold air is in place. The meandering low would give us plenty of energy to bring some nice snow rates.

CoraopolisWx Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Is the cold air going to drag through, or blast through ? I want that classic rain to heavy snow burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty crazy but I'd be happy with 2 inches to cover everything and then snow showers during the day Christmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Is the cold air going to drag through, or blast through ? I want that classic rain to heavy snow burst.That's what I'm hoping we get as well. I don't think the snow will last long once the front moves through, but it may be a very heavy burst of snow that gives us a few quick inches. Typically these changeover scenarios don't work out for us. Usually, it's maybe a dusting or half inch on the backend and we're done. I'm hoping this will be different with more wraparound moisture off of the low riding up the front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Does this event seem to have more confidence from forecasters than usual? Seems these types of situations are tricky and forecasts are always low, and conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
