Quoting trHUrrIXC5MMX:
Well, the GFS trends a little bit north with snow... I have to be careful here.

12z Euro appeared very similar to the 0z run last night, and the runs before that. The Euro has been very consistent with this storm on a southern solution, I think it will pick up another win over the more northerly GFS. Heaviest snow definitely looks to me like it'll stay mostly in VA, WV, and MD.

Midday models are showing big East Coast storm grazing us Wed & Thu...gonna be close but right now mostly a miss.

Wow. 18Z NAM. Woah. Dang. [link to raleighwx.americanwx.com] [link to raleighwx.americanwx.com]

so if the temps are cold enough that could be 8 inches of snow?

**Notice carefully that Minneapolis/St. Paul lie just west of the 14-19" purple shade..The Twin cities could be around 1 foot of snow.. Detroit is under some snow, maybe a dusting to some more... Cleveland, Indianapolis, Gary, Des Moines, Madison are all up for a foot of snow.. maybe more. Northern Michigan only a coating, the southern portions for more. **Chicago has to be carefully watched...they could get a big chunk of snow. [link to i.imgur.com] [link to i.imgur.com]

The snowstorm that will hit the Minneapolis and Chicago could produce the biggest totals of this winter. [link to ow.ly]

Chicago and Milwaukee are both under winter storm watches now. [link to forecast.weather.gov]

Impressive system, will it be as bad as the 1960's storm?

sorry, i stepped out for a while. I live in hagerstown but work in rockville. you?

Lets just say west of I-29 and east of rt-32.

10-4

i sent you a pm but i dont know if it went thru. during snowmaggedon part 1 i was on a cruise. part 2 we sailed thru on the atlantic and have never seen so many ppl puking at once. very rough seas. i slept like a baby. it was the most relaxing time i ever had but once we got back I had to shovel my car out at the baltimore pier. lost all of the theraputic relaxation shoveling. only made worse by a dead man on a snow drift on 70. Heart attack. poor guy.

I was stuck in my car during commuteopolis or whatever they called it last year. 9 hours! horrible.

looks like this will start tuesday night so the timing seems to be purfect for no work on wednesday. praying!

you?

GFS 00z did print out 2''+ QPF for DCA, and piles 8'' of actual snow depth. Not bad. [link to twitter.com (secure)]

The GFS shows currently that the upcoming storm for the northeast will be more of a traditional occlusion rather than a warm seclusion with a core that never quite gets warm [link to moe.met.fsu.edu]

NAM 12z actual snow depth gradient very close to DC meaning the 0'' line isn't much further south. [link to twitter.com (secure)]

I'm not liking this.It's not like the temps will be in it's upper 30's to near 40's to allow slow melting.Instead they will jump and continue to rise almost hitting 60.As I mentioned before the ground is saturated already.I hope this isn't no january 1996 repeat!.

Texas and surrounding states are getting strong winds from this system,im clocking 38mph on my place just south and east of Dallas.

ps...also took out my phone line that goes ta shop
