I didn't do very well in that storm...maybe 3-4"....mixing and dryslot....you did much better....That's the storm that DT said had no chance to go north based on physics and it gave Boston like 20"...lol

they had cantore at Dulles airport waiting the arrival of part 2 of the storm. It came but wasnt nearly as much as they thought.

It was a WWA for part 1 and WSW for part 2. Part 1 overperformed with some of the densest snow I’ve ever shoveled. Part 2 underperformed as you noted but still nicely freshened up the snow cover.

yikes the surface maps are very similar no? i think Dulles got 9-10 inches from this but there was a day of non stop snizzle which was awesome

similar evolution but this has much more cold air in front...which would argue for a further south eventual outcome with the coastal.  90% of our snow was from the WAA in that 2003 event.

Weird storm. Not sure I've ever experienced something like this. A coastal storm that last forever but never snows hard, or really even moderately for a long period of time. You would think the totals would be obscene from a deform that lasts so long. Is there a reason this has so little significant precipitation with it? Maybe it will juice up? Also pretty obvious that a very small area is likely to jackpot with 20+ and everyone else is probably looking at a general 8-14.

Should Probably not be using ensembles 72+ hours out for minute details on QPF / Bending setup. Mesos will catch up with actual QPF totals.

lol--this was before i knew about Miller B---but the part 2 severely underperformed at Dulles and Cantore was sitting there trying to explain it away

Precip will ramp up closer we get. Usually does with the.mesos

Also coastal seems to be a bit east messes cuts off Washington County and Frederick with the banding.  Still gives us a healthy amount though, just not as good

 

Nothing to sweat at the point. Heavier amounts to the east and west of us. 

Probably just an anomaly at this point.

Did quite well in Reisterstown with that storm. Round 1 was heavy and dumped 6 inches. I think parts of Howard County got 7-8. Then some drizzle during the lull. Atmosphere cooled back down quickly and by evening there was on and off light snow with occasional heavier burst during the lull. Picked up maybe another inch or so.  Round 2 started in earnest after midnight and lasted until mid-morning dumping another 5-6. I was just far enough north to get in decently in round 2.

Euro ENS mean...pretty tasty and allays some concerns about north trend...

The EPS bullseyes our area...so its a very good run...but it definitely backed off on intensity a bit so the top end potential came down some.  But were still talking a 12"+ type storm possibly here in the max zone...but the crazy ridiculous 20" or even 30" idea is fading a bit.  NOT saying that is unexpected and I definitely take what it is selling.

Yeah I was noticing that too.  From trajectory of the WAA event kind of missing us a little and the coastal taking over, we miss some of the good stuff as it dryslots  :(

Same thing the GFS does to my area. Someone is gonna get screwed by the dryslot and transfer. I just hope it's south of our subforum.

No, I agree at this point it is still seems like a bounce here or there not changing the actually trajectory or event for that matter.  So keep watching.  I am still happy with at least 10in of snow just envious of those getting 2feet. But yet to be determined.

EPS mean

EPSsnowfall.thumb.png.7382c6b29405ecee4bda9d1206cb154a.png

The totals are muted some by 11/50 members by my count that are suppressed.  I only count a few members that miss DC to the north with heavy snow.  So this is a VERY good spot to be right now...but still...suppressed is the bigger threat then north.  If we ignored the GFS completely that would probably be more apparent lol.  And again...I DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE SUPPRESSED...just saying if it somehow falls apart thats the way.  This isn't cutting.

The control (and the mean to an extent) look strikingly similar to Feb 2006, even to the extent of the max snowfall area near NYC. How was that setup similar to this? It's been one of the top analogs for a little bit too.
