Experience and intuition. However, ice would be a reflection of freezing rain, which we won’t see. Air too cold at 925. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This is a fun one... This is the 6hr snowfall while we are under the deform band. 1"+/hr rates showing up on HRRR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecanem Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Is anyone as nervously excited that I am? My friends and family know me as the ‘weather guy’ asking me what I think is going to happen. I’m optimistic for a good snow but the 2019? WSW bust is still fresh in memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This feels a bit different than 2019, not totally sure why, but it does. Doesn't mean we don't mixing, but doesn't seem as harsh as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Definitely a different set up than 2019. The ULL went right over Pittsburgh. And about 48 - 36 hr out, we started to see the westward move. The WTD showed itself early on.

Expand The HiRes NAM is also atrocious for us. That's more concerning than the NAM itself. Showing like an inch of snow at the onset, then ice, then dryslot.

Burghblizz Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’ll start to worry about the NAM at 0z. At that point, all the anecoctal, weather fan reasons to toss it become fewer. It will be an on hour run with the storm arriving within 24 hours. That’s usually where it’s considered good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I feel like a lot of the guidance is on board though. Everything except the NAM is east. NAM the only one that is stubbornly holding out on a westward solution. As i said earlier, Im not sure how much stock mets are putting in NAM. Here is the warning map for CLE NWS. Last 4-5 runs of the NAM have dropped more than a foot on CLE and points east. Not even a WWA for Cuyahoga County (where cleveland is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to worry until other models show the same, or radar looks like the NAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
