Snow Predictions


Coach McGuirk

Recommended Posts

Honestly I"m hesitant and nervous about this storm still (but in awe O-o)

ORF: 6.5" (potentially higher if no mixing issues..)

PHF: 8"

RIC: 5"

DCA: 3"

IF I bust I'm leaning on being to low in some places....... ><

Euro tossed me a bone. :P

ORF: 9.5"

PHF: 10"

RIC: 6.5" (airport/?? : P )

DCA: 4"

ORF: 7-9"

Va. Beach: 6-8"

Ratio and BL temp related. Even the NAM suggests temps of 33 or 34 during the heaviest precipitation, suggesting some less than ideal temps for accumulation. However, there's a classic impressive omega (UVV) bullseye overlying the DGZ (snow growth zone) during the best precip rates, suggesting heavy snow with big, fat flakes for a few hours. If the SREF is right and keeps coming in somewhat warm, we might end up with a situation where folks right on the coast get 3-4" and people a few miles inland get 8"+

what is your prediction for the peninsula? i pretty much agree with you. 7 for southside, 11 for peninsul.

Not too much higher, maybe 8-10". They're going to be very close to dealing with the same issues. 25 miles in track changes at this point will mean the difference between slush and almost no mixing problems.

Anticipating quicker bomb and wrap around deformation banding...precipitation looks to start earlier than forecast. Looks good. Remember in all these big ones somebody loses, yes, but the models usually omit a few winners too.

DCA- 8"

South/East suburbs- 10-14"

BWI-13"

North/East suburbs- 10-18"

Call me crazy but whatever.
