Hypothetical 240 hour snow Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 A very good run, still worried about the UKMET, but the Euro leaves a bit of wiggle room either side, so that is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow under that slowly decaying deform band will be heavier then qpf panels would indicate. Usually get nice dendrites in that band. Fluffy stuff. Even if its only moderate it will "seem" heavier. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the mesos get in range things will get real. If I can get a hold of the CMC hi res maps, I'll post them....right now some data issue I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovechkin Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Assuming it follows a similar path, when it gets into range the NAM is bound to have a run with some fun looking insane totals. Should be entertaining at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 2 underperformed as you noted but still nicely freshened up the snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDSnowyWxTracker Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 24 minutes ago, osfan24 said: 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
