dryslot Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I like how the GFS tries to get cute with placing possible qpf amounts based off of elevation in there algorithm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Pretty high probability of snow on the low end amount based off of 90%+ chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 GFS still pretty weak with the thump down here. I’m leaning toward that solution and not really buying the large NAM amounts. There’s just not a lot of vort energy that curls up into us until later when we’re already too warm for snow…and even when that happens, it’s strung out vort energy. Of we get a slight bump east or a slight increase in confluence, that could change but for now I’m leaning in the 1-3” range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I like 5-8” up here, 8-12” for the mountain. The upslope signal on backside with some cold moving in looks pretty good. Snowy day today, another 2” on the mountain and visibilities down to 1 mile in the valley at times with upslope. In the snow flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would help many, I've been looking for some of those small changes, So far not the case but the messenger rule may come into play the next 24-30 hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually want to see a nice broad area of isentropic lift well out ahead and it’s kind of meh…NAM does try for a narrower area and it’s fairly intense, but I hate relying on a thin band. A little shift east or slight increase I confluence would probably do wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDRY Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 They issued a WWA for last storm, when 8+ looked inevitable, which it was. Now they issue a Winter Storm Watch when 4 or less looks inevitable. Get with it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS changed there criteria for winter storm warnings for coastal areas and elevations, i Believe its 6"/24 hrs for coastal and just inland and in foothills and higher elevations its 8"/24hr period that it has to fall into to meet warning criteria, Outside of those windows, Its WWA's.

There was a lot of blowing snow last night so the driveway needs to be snowblown again. That is a long process because it is a long open driveway. Then we get the dump from probably 5p-midnight? 6-10 inches fast? Then on top of that, in the middle of the night, sleet and then rain. Then everything freezes hard Thursday late afternoon evening. Seems we have to hope most of the snow is done early enough to snowblow it away before the rain comes and then it freezes into chunks. It is hard to remove slush with a snow blower. Any sense of how much rain we are getting in different parts of the region? Maybe we drizzle and slot at least in some places? In the end we should have a bullet proof pack compressed to 15-20 inches, fields to forest. Many a night removing snow right before the rains came. Nothing worse than trying to remove waterlogged cement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
