Expand Correct. Gonna be brief. Hopefully she comes hard and fast to help overcome any and all thermal issues. Could be a fun little afternoon if we keep expectations low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 Start time on the Nam is before noon for the western half of the LSV and it snows decently for 6 or so hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 For those that are familiar with Mark Ellinwood, he posted his snowfall prediction map in the MA thread about 10-15 minutes ago. Always liked his maps - clean, easy to read, and most importantly...usually very accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 The 3K has a similar evolution of the lowest area of pressure flopping around hour to hour. Always hate to see that as to eventual strength. Convoluted mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 The FV3 (a model I have little faith in) has virtually no snow for York/Lanc counties. The 3k NAM is solid. Lancaster crew, what do we make of WGAL having the entirety of York and Lanc counties with basically a Trace to an inch or two? I know they use their own "predictor" model.

Itstrainingtime Posted January 4, 2024 Share Posted January 4, 2024 MU getting antsy about the time period he's been excited about: (from last evening) I'm not saying this will happen, but tonight's run of the ECMWF model depicts the "Grandaddy" of East Coast winter storm patterns by mid-month! We have it all here: a west-based -NAO, 50/50 Low, & #JETSTREAM ridge moving into the West. Things would get wild in the week to follow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think it's going to be about the rates - if it can come in as a true thump, we score ourselves a couple/few inches. If it's light to moderate, we lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think they take the "safe" bet as its a win - win. To the low end if a trace, snow haters are happy....to the high end, if they say 2" and we get 3-4" most people knew it was coming and most wont measure to say "you were wrong". They dont count inches like us weenies do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If were using history as a guide, history proves this point more times than not and despite what the models show we've seen this rodeo a few times and as i've been saying for days, have always factored that in based on pattern depicted. Making cold air is not easy for us LSV'rs. Never has been and its all about the rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
