TowsonWeather Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 13 minutes ago, colonelaureliano1 said: I’m not a met so I’ll leave the real discussion to them but to me this event was always on a razor thin edge someone in central MD was going to be on the wrong side. This time it was basically the western border of Anne Arundel county, that being said a couple decent bands and it all evens out you never know until it’s over. I think models honestly did a good job portraying the difficult set up on this one but we get caught up looking at qpf and snow maps and sometimes miss what’s clearly being modeled right in front of us because well, it’s fun to look at snow maps. Models by no means did a "good job portraying the difficult setup in this one." Every storm has a cutoff and every storm has a certain degree of uncertainty or complexity. But I've been on these boards for a very long time and this is one of the worst misses for a wide swath of the region I can remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairfax County was supposed to get 4 to 8 inches. We got . . . CLEAR SKIES. It wasn't even cloudy. Now THAT'S a bust. Runner-up: losing a promised white Christmas in 1985, because "the cold air stalled over the Appalachians." I'll never forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Coming down well now. It’s actually a mix of snow and sleet and snow pellets. But all surfaces have caved quickly. Actually pretty impressed with how quickly the street caved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to plan my jeb walks. Looks like around 0.2-0.3" qpf remaining in Central MD based off the 18z nam. initializes at 1pm, so may need to subtract a bit.
