The target is still Long Island/NYC/Northern NJ. Was just about to say that. It's getting closer for us if you want to see snow, but if you want to see anything really accumulate, all the good stuff on all of those recent runs hasn't changed. It's all focused right around NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Light snow, eyeballing it 1-2" (like many things, I'm not good at eyeballing). It isn't covering the side streets I see out the window; hell, in December's little dance, the streets were more covered. After I fortify myself with coffee, will head out for Glover-Archibald Park. Or maybe I'll get ambitious and jebhike up Nebraska to Rock Creek. By the time I get there I'm sure the dryslot currently along the Virginias' border will be fully entrenched overhead.

It does seem it might be a legit drier area - but I'm not too worried about it. In a bit of a lull right now but it looks "bandy" in NoVA heading our way. I've already been on a Jebwalk™ this morning. If we completely fail on the deform tomorrow I'll still chalk this up as a good storm. It's powdery goodness out there right now. I'm taking the Bob Chill approach. Hand wringing gets us nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally can’t stand when people post the correlation coefficient, so it’s a “me” problem. We suck enough at snow, and seeing the mix line approach is a huge buzzkill, especially if we underperform as it is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the NAM's and the latest Hi Res are right, they are going to get absolutely hammered by the public. It would be a terrible time to score a coup for the NAM. If my map busts, oh well. If theirs does, they take a beating. What a massive kick in the groin if this model suite is right. Lets hope for the best. I can attest down here folks are crazy, shelves emptying out , ridiculous if you ask me. Look forward to an update from you tomorrow, if possible, thanks for your great posts ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like that area of possible ping washes out due south of RIC. I’ll take however many buns are rightfully crammed into my mouth. Went to bed last night having scaled down my expectations massively, but I’m already feeling a bit let down even after that. I need to buck up.

It is nice to just enjoy the storm without worrying about some liquid, but it’s a learning opportunity for me, so not going to pass it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the mix line arrives earlier, all the good front side precip will be over. Depth of mid level cold is really good starting off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo2 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Pretty underwhelming so far (though snowtv and light accum better than no snow, of course)...flake size getting bigger, but rates still lacking a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember where you are relative to RIC, but this MD is old but good. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0049.html I’m a few miles outside the SW corner of the Beltway, so not really close to Richmond. I’m not concerned about mixing before any lull - which maybe when things shut off anyway - but I want to capitalize as much as possible right the F now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been pretty down on this event the entire time it seems...not just today. 4 hours of snow in subfreezing temps in January with a pre dawn start with side roads barey covered and about an inch to show for it overall. Maybe my expectations are simply too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxpatriot Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The difference between the globals and mesos for us M/D folks seems almost laughable. It seems I can expect anywhere between 3 and 16 inches of snow. Not sure I can recall such a disparity this close to an event between those camps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
