CAPE Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 3.2" Solid 5 days of winter here, with 12.7" of snow. That just about equals the total for the last 2 winters combined. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxMan1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Measured 3.75" in Crofton, which along with the 10.25" on Monday 1/3, brings my seasonal total up to an even 14 inches. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We going to talk about the major improvements on the GFS? Been money so far this season. The fact that it did so well with a storm like this involving WAA, energy transfer to the coast, etc - is pretty dang impressive. Especially for a global suite. Did the best with Monday’s storm too. Do we have a new king in town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Woke up to see if I was going to work today. Looked out the window and no that's not happening. When I went ro bed last night at 12:30 I had well over 4 inches. Haven't measured yet but it looks close to double that now. But of course I do have weenie eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 So I take the hallucinations last night about the “snow hole” (which was modeled all week btw) were the wrong take? Looks like I missed some fun in the overnight….measured 2.6” of pure Colorado fluff. What a week of winter here! Over a foot of snow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widespread reports of 6-7” from my area to yours. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if you had 7-8” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Not much snow down here, maybe 1.5" if I'm being generous. Enough to coat what's left of the existing snow until it all melts this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bounces around with adjustments every run and to be frank, it kinda sucked near the metro areas last night. Many of us that got 3-4” were getting 1-2 based on the HRRR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve25 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Measured in Parkville in several clean spots and got spots of 4, spots of 5, and spots between the two. So I'm going to unofficially say 4.5 and wait for some official reports to start rolling in. More than pleasantly surprised! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Took this just a moment ago…. Waiting for my final total so that I can add 0.1” to whatever @clskinsfan reports. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it differed so much from every other 00z mesoscale guidance last night, I put extremely little confidence in what it showing for close in metro areas (it did seem to do well out west near Winchester advertising the 6”+ totals though). But in addition to the HRRR over reliance (which can swing from hour to hour to your point), there’s also the ‘panics’ that spread over radar hallucinations or whatever. Last night’s “snow hole” had been modeled all week (even by the GFS), yet the “lack of snow” by 10p was already causing people to poo poo and down play the event with things like…this feels like a grass topper but nothing more….because the radar and heavy banding to the NW. It’s nothing new and happens in every event, but you’d think we’d learn by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR outside of 1-2 hours is pretty useless IMHO. You can gather much more info from looking at surface obs, SPC Meso analysis, WV loop, radar, etc when it comes to determining whether or not your BY will boom or bust. Nowcasting is always the best tool in marginal / timing setups 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is covered and that's all I wanted. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
