Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 3 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: This...the Arctic cold scenario greatly reduces our chances of a big snowstorm. Agree. Though I have a feeling the Euro is probably overdoing the extreme of the cold air. I'd much rather have the snow and some cold, it doesn't have to be Arctic-level here. Temps in the 20s and a nice overrunning event with cold smoke powder would be great! Much better than 5-10 and dry as a bone here while seeing snow/ice in GA/SC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 NAM led the way with the last storm - no reason to believe it isn’t doing the same here. Just a little weary of being 72+ hours out and it not quite being in the NAM’s wheelhouse yet. Encouraging trends today all around. Great to see models moving toward the NAM and not Vice versa. Hug the NAM and NAVGAP and pray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I expect that difference to narrow as we go forward. I feel pretty good with my measuring lol. I've measured 26" and that looks spot on with that map.

You probably average a bit more than here with your better latitude and elevation, but 26" is seasonal climo for my area. That's a nice spot to be in with most of February and all of March still ahead of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never was even close . Accu weather really sucks. Blah Blah Blah. Both their options from several days ago are in play. Huge...probably not. Nice storm maybe.

Miss Pixee Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 7 hours ago, chris21 said: I know this has been hashed and rehashed but the long term avg at DCA is not really representative of even downtown though. NW DC is prob closer to 20. For instance, in this past storm I measured 5.5 inches while DCA measured 3.2. In 2016, there was a uniform 23-26 inches in NW, while DCA recorded 16. This. I have no idea how the heck they measure. I did a video of that storm, had just a shade under 24" in SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there is some moisture available ahead of the Arctic press. I know some here live in fear of cold and dry but not me. I will take my chances. Love the idea of a moderate cold powder event followed by some Siberian cold. Been awhile. Chasing a KU in the MA in a Nina is pretty low probability, and it may still happen beyond this as things relax up top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 18z Gfs might have a big overrunning event this run. We’re going to see different placement each run of the TPV near the conus border. Where it sets up & how much breaks off on the day 6 wave will dictate what happens toward day 8-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to get a solid or better event that's cold powder, followed by some real cold to keep it around for awhile. But what I wouldn't want is very cold with nothing but bare, frozen ground. Not expecting a KU...but a nice overrunning type event falling into an Arctic push would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
