Yardstickgozinya Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Waiting on the first flakes. I feel very fortunate to have two events this week too enjoy. Ekho and I are a few miles from home staying warm by the rocket mass stove my buddy and I built around a decade ago. Good luck fellows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The further away from the radar the higher the radar beam is. What’s showing over Harrisburg is about 7,000 feet overhead vs here 50 miles closer to the radar where the beam height is about 2,000 feet. It’s seeing what’s still virga over the Harrisburg area. Snow should be beginning soon over there, likely within the next hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think 20:1 was legit, but that is why I'm a weenie and not a red tagger. 12-15:1 sounded reasonable going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 For those that see the end coming, which it does appear that way right now on radar, HRRR has backfilling taking place as the coastal takes over. Jackpot still well to our south but snow not ending this early either per the HRRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmasterB Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 NWS considering the upgrade to a warning for southeast crew. No changes to the previous winter wx headlines although some consideration was given toward warning upgrade in the far southeast where hires models show a potential fgen band pivoting over northern MD/DE into southern NJ. Confidence was just not high enough to pull trigger on warning right now with the HREF and NBM probs more bullish over areas just south of the MD line. Reliance on higher QPF and SLRs can also be a risky proposition, so will stay put for now and alert the dayshift on potential need for short-lead WSW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 The event is in the early stages. Lots of precip still in the Midwest. This will fill in & we should have snow of varying rates all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
