snow depth again? smh. Making a meh run look worse than it needs to.

3k is slower to transition to snow than the RAP/HRRR/12k. It's a rates problem. Who knows which of the hi-res models will nail the banding. We'll find out in 12 hours

With some of the soundings we’ve seen and the strength of the low, I’m hard pressed to think we don’t have some great rates given that + the fronto and h5 pass

also, fwiw, 3k was probably an improvement from 18z. But both meh.

Snow depth with those temps is probably about as accurate as you are gonna get. If you prefer the Kuchera it isnt a whole lot better. The airmass is marginal to say the least.

The main difference from earlier is precip amounts, which truthfully are probably very difficult to nail down. People talk about warm ground and yes we had a couple of warm days but we also had about 3-4 straight days last week in the upper teens.

It's 43/43 here right now brother. I am as big of a weenie as there is here when an event warrants it. Maybe I will bust. But I am not feeling this one.

Yes definitely less precip. Compare the latest run with the 18z. Big drop off with qpf

It is a trend.  If you see qp amounts drop run after run on the HRRR that is not good.  A 1 run fluke is no big deal but run after run is a big deal most of the time.

It can snow above 32.  I remember a storm in late January 2000 when I watched a steady (surprise) snow storm that was supposed to be rain. My husband was taking friends to the airport in Baltimore and it was bad. It was close to 40 degrees the whole time.  

Dark  is a fantastic above freezing snow helper

Dry slot on 01z HRRR messes up the transition period, doubt something like that is going to get modeled just as it really ends up but something to watch. If the best opportunity for column cooling rates gets wasted by a dry slot, many will end up with little to nothing.

The Valley dry slot filled in from 00 - 01 and shifted east to Charlottesville.
