But I totally get why you would love that look. That’s the perfect track for you. It’s just unfortunate we don’t share the same climo on coastals. It’s almost impossible for us both to Jack from a coastal because to get the deform NW of the fall line in MD you need the low close enough that’s it’s a problem for the eastern shore.

WxMan1 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 6 minutes ago, psuhoffman said: Yes but it’s close. Depends how suppressed the WAA wave gets. Unfortunately we’re on opposite sides here. You need the solution that would screw me lol. When I lived in Chesterfield County (while working at AKQ), quite often the 6+ inch snowstorms required some CCB/backside frontogenetic action. Lots of events with 1-2/2-4" front side WAA and that's it before the dry slot and eventual wrap around staying north. We did get a nice front-end thump however on Dec 18, 2009 before switching to sleet then rain. More recently, the Jan 23, 2016 event in Central VA was "made" by the CCB on day 2. The Dec 9, 2018 event was a central VA classic, wdsprd 10-12", with a flatter (and yet still elongated) CCB allowing for the duration that is needed to produce these high amounts. To me, what happens Sunday night and Monday will dictate whether or not the event for the RVA ends up being more an advisory/low-end warning one or something much more significant. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 This is probably not completely true, but is there a correlation to full moons and big storms? Maybe I am wrong, but they seem to happen close to each other. Maybe it is coincidence.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let me illustrate my point so you stop thinking I’m imagining this then I’m done. Promise. I’m using the euro control because the op only runs to 90 but the op and control were very similar each run. look at the trend the last 24 hours. It’s not just south. It’s a less amplified system each run. Suppressed. Yes this run was still “good” but were losing the big upside here with a weaker wave but more troubling (because I would totally take a 6-12” storm and because I’ve always thought the flow was too suppressive to get a too north solution) it’s literally 1 more deamplification trend of the exact same amount of each of the last 4 runs from being an insignificant event up here and not that significant anywhere frankly. I’m only a few miles south of the sharp cutoff to just minor accumulations now. And that cutoff has shifted south significantly every run. Why is everyone so sure the south trend is over and 0z won’t have that northern cutoff running through Baltimore? More so any further de amplified and frankly were looking at a run of the mill snowstorm across VA and lower MD and no one is getting 1-2 feet. Is staying all snow that important that it’s worth giving up the kind of big solutions we were looking at 24 hours ago with a more amplified wave? If I was you or Frd or Richmond I would say yea. Because I don’t think an amped up tucked low works out for those spots. But DC and Baltimore peeps seem to be rooting for less amplified too. Is staying all snow worth giving up a 12-24” storm for a run of the mill 4-8” deal because thats where this could end up if the suppression trend continues. 4 2 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
