But at least the driveway isn't icy anymore lol Icy driveways produce many a comical falling video...lol (granted there's no injury, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 8 minutes ago, yoda said: 18z GFS tries for 5" at DCA Including DC metro into BALT metro as well I'm thoroughly confused, as Pivotal 10:1 has almost 3" on the ground around DCA by 12Z, while TT 10:1 has a small fraction of that. The final totals then of course end up with a big discrepancy. There is a single snowfall field in the GFS (it's a liquid equivalent), so they should in theory be using the same field, applying the same 10:1 SLR, and getting the same result. One of them is doing something funky, and my money is on Pivotal being the goofball. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Losing a little to surface melting plus above freezing temps initially at start means I’m fairly skeptical of these Kuchera maps showing >10:1 ratios essentially. I’d love more than 3” for this storm but I doubt it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Going with an inch max for my yard, given these anafrontal deals are precarious at best with cold chasing precip. Models tend to overdo the frozen. If there is some decent Fgen as some guidance is depicting, then maybe there is a chance for an 'overperformer' here.

I don't know how many of these sites' algorithms use the information contained in the available GFS files, maybe some of them ignore the liquid equivalent? Though can't see why they would do that.
