From my notes: November 15: 2.0” from a reeeeealy cold event for November 2 hours ago, CAPE said: I recall it being pretty well forecast at least a couple days leading up to it. It was convective in nature but fairly widespread. Totals ranged from 1 to maybe as high as 4". I maximized here pretty good with over 3. It all fell in an hour or so, and the end had a mini whiteout as the actual arctic cold came in. We didn’t get much here in Burke from that. I was (of course) salty as people reported getting smacked with intense rates and big winds. I don’t have my notes on that, but I don’t think we got more than 1” out of it (maybe less than that).

nj2va Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 There’s some robust NS energy on the GFS next Tuesday swinging down that would be another 4-6”+ for the mountains/ski resorts. Great timing for business as they head into the holiday period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ole Bucket Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 No way that snow verifies on this side of the Blue Ridge right? Right? Surely it's just gonna pour rain all Christmas Eve and then become bitterly cold and dry. Mind you, a cold Christmas would be nice. Much nicer would be to have a couple inches of snow on the ground..

In general, I think this is the case. At risk of over-analyzing something that's still a week out (but I'll do so anyhow, haha!)...note that at 06Z today there was more energy hanging back, which resulted in the surface reflection still coming up toward us just after the strong cold front passed. It's not quite "as good" at 12Z as the low zips on to the north, but there's apparently a ton of lift along the front and (if you take verbatim), still gives a decent burst of snow. Reminiscent of Feb. 14, 2015 as others have said, though perhaps on a more dramatic scale if this pans out as shown. Regardless, that's one hella cold front breezing through! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanconway63 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 nope, the trend is for this low to develop and get north of us all before the front pushes through....Euro had same idea last night..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
