NorthArlington101 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 1 minute ago, psuhoffman said: Agreed. I think the mean looks like that now due to a high probability of a SECS to maybe MECS level event. 2016 the mean looked that way because a decent number of members were already showing 20” outcomes. Similar look from different scenarios. agree with all points - just to demonstrate a little, this is the 90th percentile snowstorm as shown on the EPS. MECS to maybe borderline HECS is the current "top level" outcome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear the CFS seasonals were showing it by late fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 We’re still missing the Nina STJ so even if we do get a more canonical coastal later in the month it might have MECS v hecs top end potential here. But that is just playing the historical odds game. A string of secs MECS level events might be a more likely max outcome from this type pattern coming up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 All I want is a hold and better look every day. Nif it starts to deteriorate at all it usually means it will deteriorate to nothing.. I think the pattern says this a is a good shot.. I just know... We all know... It is still model land goodness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I’m definitely excited for the waves day 7-15 but if we’re going to have a shot at a classic coastal 12”+ snowstorm a couple days after this would be the first (but not the last) opportunity! Wave X is moving into 50/50 and wave Y is about to dig into the TN valley. Which would be around Feb 20 lol. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I’m a lurker/reader so dumb question. What 2 day time period does this relate to? It goes out 246 hours (10 days). Or is that the total mean amount for the next 10 days?

gymengineer Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Going all the way back to 1957/1958, every single season when DCA has had two or more 6"+ snowstorms, the seasonal total has reached at least 24". That would make sense given that it's not easy to reach 6" in one storm at DCA, so that happening at least twice in one season means generally the winter was a snowy one.
