I am officially pleased with that decision. Well done. Thought I was the only one who was thinking the same thing. Took about half of ours down outside but left up enough to provide the ambiance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What becomes the wildcard is the approach of a 500mb jet streak over the OH Valley overnight. At the nose of the jet, divergent flow atop the atmosphere will support healthy vertical velocities 12Z Tuesday. This is driving the snowier solutions from northern MD into eastern PA. The new NAM seems to feature similar setup. Can you make is sag south a tiny bit? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I caught the very bottom edge of it, went from pouring snow (+1"/hr rates) to nothing for 5-10 minutes before I cleared it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 15 minutes ago, T. August said: 1.7” in Havre de Grace. .7”/hr rate not horrible. Still no real flakes. About the same here. Hoping to top 2" before this lifts northward and transitions to a light mix. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 If the NAMs are overly aggressive with the warm air push, could have some surprise additional snow tomorrow morning. Or just ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new NAM seems to feature similar setup. Great post and good commentary. The band moves generally NW over the burbs to Mt. PSU crew in the early AM hours and there is absolutely influence from the h5 jet. Starting to see more and more influence in the short term hi res models. I think places north of Baltimore from Westminster over to Bel Air could cash in big time since they'll get both parts of the storm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried and every pic I took with my phone today it's saying are too large to attach. Just normal phone camera I email the photo to myself on my iphone and when I send it, I get a query of what size photo do I want to send. I send medium and then copy and paste into the thread here.

What originally featured drier returns around 4,800ft out near the I-66/I-81 merger (around 850mb) is showing brighter returns. For those who have patiently waited in Northern MD, those heavier rates will be realized soon. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted January 16, 2024 Share Posted January 16, 2024 Just came in from plowing our 500' driveway - have a legit 3" (no slant sticking!). Would be nice to squeeze another inch out of this. Temp stayed rock steady 26/27 throughout most of the day. Not bad... Can sense a sigh of relief across the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
