JAN 20/21 snow event amatuer/met snow maps

[jdt]

Did not have much time to put into this but here is the quick version for this one. If I could make a change I would probably extend the zone of possible spotty 6-7" amounts further ENE into CT away from the coast.

Here is my first snow total forecast.

Best map I've seen so far IMHO.

[Quakertown needs snow]

Edit:

1-4" = T-1"

4-6" = 2"-5"

6-12" = 3"-7"

Final edit!

That's where you should have been all along.

generally 3-6 inches for the viewing area:

Some of you did quite nicely with your maps for this storm.

Here is my original map and verification map

Original

Verification

The map is a little tight. Here are some official numbers on the verification map:

CT

East Haven = 5.0"

NY

Central Park = 4.2"

Riverhead = 2.8"

NJ

Atlantic City = T"

Ewing = 3.8"

PA

Philadelphia = 0.6"

Allentown = 4.4"

Tobyhanna = 4.7"

I bust on PHL where I thought 4" would fall and they got less than an inch. I busted on Riverhead, NY where I though roughly 6" would fall and they got 2.8". I busted on Tobyhanna where I thought 6+" would fall and they got roughly 4.7". The rest of the areas I hit the low end of each range.

Should of went lower on totals from DE to Philly, to KVAY.

5:30am was the time we changed over to snow here in Toms River and the sun was out by 7AM. I did lower my snowfall totals on Thursday night, but even that had to be cut in half.

Oh well, on to the next storm.

Excellent forecast map yesterday by the way. You nailed the rain/snow line real well, especially up in my county. I didnt think it would get as far NW as it did

Thanks! I normally make maps/forecasts for my own practice (which most meteo undergrads should be doing), but haven't really shared them until now. I went with temperatures close to the RUC/HRRR, but thought they did not nearly have enough precip.... if I remember correctly, HRRR only had 1-2" of snow from Middlesex and Mercer Counties all the way through Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, and southern Berks.
