We still use it tho. FOLKS is just a thang I drop when I doing pbp if I see the models about to destroy us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the official amounts for each are but this is what they mean and what I've always thought in my head as the range in the "meat" of such storms HECS Historic East Coast Storm 18" plus MECS Major 8-18" SECS Significant 4-8" 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "considered" amount of snowfall depends on your opinion, but I like to think of them like this: SECS = Significant (4-8") MECS = Major (8-16") HECS = Historic (16-24") BECS = Biblical (24+") FOLKS happens when a model run produces lots of snow, usually 12+". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 So far the ICON is SECS, GGEM and UKMET are MECS across our area. I expect the Euro to fall in line. Last night's run might have been overdone but maybe it repeats...remember the euro does tend to be the most amplified in this range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bncho Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 See, the HECS snowfall measurements are different for DCA. HECS for most: 18+" HECS for DCA: 12-17.8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
