chescowx Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 The ratios were indeed high here in NW Chesco ending up at 17:1 Final ratios for the 3.3" of snow melted down was 0.19" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW this is the verification of the actual low position vs where the Euro & its ensemble members had it. Yes the surface position is at 06z while the forecast map is 12z. In addition to being too far west, this also makes the Euro too slow and this was the closest "latitude" match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled2.jpg The slower euro run was why it came so far west because it allowed for it to be captured. While the faster runs would of had a slower capture and allow for the low to escape east more so, which was correct. Even so, the euro ens mean really didn't disagree with the operational. Yes they weren't as wound up, but the mean at phl was over a ft at phl that sat 12z ens run. Just comes to my theory, miller B's Suuucckkkkk lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just comes to my theory, miller B's Suuucckkkkk lol I have to talk to one of our other mets again that showed me the post. There was a facebook post by John Krasting from GFDL that Euro ensemble members may be too tied to the operational run to show as much uncertainty as existed with this or any system. I dont know if I totally understand it this morning, maybe too tired still. I know on the map from Saturday it was along the northwest edge of the ensemble spectrum and I'm guessing when the Euro was really ramped on the weekend, ensemble means were less?

There was a bit of rain on Sunday evening. The actual PHL ASOS pcpn amount was way low, so we estimated PHL. I looked at the four PHL Cocorahs site, btw their snow avg was 1.4 inches.

famartin Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 The 'rents actually had lower ratios on Monday than Tuesday, about 10:1 Monday vs. 12.6:1 Tuesday. I assumed better lift helped a lot on Tuesday. Of course they were well east of Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
