mitchnick Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 there's already concern by people up in NY about possible changeover and dry-slotting, mets included coolwx link shows Boston and NY with 1/2 ran and 1/2 snow expect some more movement west I would guess oh, and Merry Christmas to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 I think this stuff is separate from the main storm. Yes, it's the initial overrunning, but it's coming ~18 hours before the storm hopefully begins, so no need to separate the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowguy Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Simply amazing. I thought this storm was DOA. This area's luck seemed to have changed. I'm concerned about power outages from the heavy snow and wind. Are there any grocery stores open today? How are people going to go shopping for french toast before the storm begins?

real Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm pretty sure most of that stuff approaching on radar is not expected to make it to the ground. With that said, the clouds look sort of moist now that daylight is upon us, perhaps we could get some snow showers this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 As a side note a quick (and tired eyed) look at the 03z SREF seems to be a slight east shift but nothing huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a quick look at the precip maps where we were in the .5 before and it had shifted a little east but I for sure see what you're seeing. Tired eyes don't equal good analysis and I would take your opinion on things over mine anyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummyratguy Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 the area that really is seeing a huge flip flop right now is the n cent md and cent pa area.... went from nothing to ~1in qpf. in the westminster, md - mdt corridor. will be interesting to see if that trend continues.... am i correct that the big storms from last year that bullseyed the same area also corrected west the closer we got to starting the event?

Yesterday's 15Z mean vs. today's 9Z mean... wow, what a big difference. The other models have been trending west, too. Have a great Christmas everyone!
