For the past week the GFS and NAM have been showing a decent clipper coming through tommorow.  Now some of the model runs showed some crazy high amounts which I did not buy.  We just do not ussually see huge snow amounts from a clipper.  I saw this as a strong clipper from the get go 2-4".

 

Last night the 0Z Model runs really backed off the QPF numbers and slid the storm further south.  I remembered Rob G's lesson "dont forecast model run to model run" and I decided to stick to my forecast!

 

Well the 0Z Model Runs are in and here is the breakdown, thanks Dan888 for the help!!!

GFS- up to .25 QPF, this would be 3-5" at 15:1 Fluff Factor


NAM- up to .19 QPF, this would be 2-4" at 15:1 Fluff Factor

NGM- QPF up to .22, 2-4" at 15: Fluff Factor

 MM5- QPF about .23 or so, 2-4" at 15:1 Fluff Factor 

 

2-4" was the call Sunday morning, it was the call Monday when the GFS showed .6 QPF, and it is the call now!!!!

 

Snow will start between 8-10AM and end btween 4-6PM.  Higher amounts south and east, lower amounts north and west.

Nice job on the blog bro, your right on with the highest snow S & E of Philly metro. Timing is bad with this clipper which stinks since the dry air was able to sneak in , sun rays are stronger now and moves at a good clip. Probably most accumalation on grassy surfaces. This is probably your biggest of the season right? How sad is that saying that, I think the winter of 06-07 should be banned, LOL a weenie winter season, LOL

Talk to yuo later and good job as usual, I am not on much anymore cause of work, but not much I can do about it, keep up the good work, your the leader bro, lol

How about some Kudos for Theyid.............My prediction was 1-3 all along......I never bought into the models. Historical climate experience is what I used............Clippers are a 1 inch event generally due to the mountains and they are also moisture starved. This was a "super-clipper", hence my call for 1-3............How about it folks, a big round of applause to Theyid......Thank You!!!
