I look at the ICON as a side project. Europe undeniably has the most accurate global wx model in the world. Germans like making fancy techy sciency things and got jealous so they built their own. There are 2 versions. The lower res global version is what we see. The high res icon goes out 4 days and covers Europe. It's regarded as pretty accurate and even more accurate than the ECWMF in the short range. But from a global model perspective, it's 4th behind euro/gfs/cmc. It's certainly good enough to be useful but I'd be hesitant to put it #1 with an east coast snow storm in the short range. 

So you are saying the Germans should just get a participation trophy?

It’s not as good up here compared to 00z, but looks good for you guys south :snowing:

Not sure I agree with you friend. From what I’m seeing your precip went up quite a bit. I haven’t looked at any snow maps though so I don’t know if some falls as rain.

Such a smol storm. I feel blessed that it ever happened a real thread the needle type situation. If we go by according to the ICON this will generate incredible frustration.

I don't think this is storm mode material but considering the drought of good winter events it should be.

Still not a region-wide event?

I’m only looking at precip totals, 00z had me at .7, now it’s .4

in fact it’s drier area wide, eastern shore was over 2 qpf, now it’s closer to 1

Are you sure? Not trying to be mean (I want you to get snow lol). I mean I think I know about where you are but maybe not

You have a map?

I think I get a handful of images to share per year or something as a goody two shoes with a subscription? One can't hurt... anyway I would echo Chill's comments, the jack looks suspicious between DC and Baltimore, but that's a lot of pink regardless.

Part of this could be due to the fact that 0z still had some rain from overnight impacting totals

Hey @mappy I don’t see anywhere in that region of md that isn’t higher in precip and snow totals on euro. A lot higher in fact.

It’s really not terribly different over Baltimore county. Mappyland gets about 7” on Kuchera maps, similar to last run. Synoptic evolution and h5 says this could still end up more classic climo by the post storm analysis

It is similar to 6z but upstairs is a hair better again. Not a bad spot to be in considering what we’ve seen the last few runs of both the GFS/Euro and the “trends” that have consistently pushed the goods further and further NW. Temp profiles are nice too.
