DAY 1...
MID/UPPER MS VALLEY TO OH VALLEY...
ENERGY WITHIN THE ACTIVE SRN JET WILL PUSH ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS
AND PHASE WITH A STRONG VORTEX DROPPING THROUGH THE NRN PLAINS.
CRITICAL TEMPS ON THE GFS/ECMWF SUPPORT AN AREA OF HVY SNOW
CENTERED FROM NRN AR TO THE LOWER OH VALLEY AS THE UPPER PATTERN
CONSOLIDATES TODAY. THE RAIN/SNOW LINE SHOULD ALIGN FROM CNTRL AR
TO WRN TN WITH A FEW POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE NEAR THE
TRANSITION ZONE. A SECONDARY MAXIMUM OF HVY SNOW IS INDICATED
ACROSS IOWA AND SRN MN ALONG A LOW LEVEL TROUGH AS THE UPPER
SYSTEM CROSSES TO THE SOUTH OF THIS AREA. THE BATCH OF SNOW WILL
BE PROGRESSING EWD ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES AREAS
TONIGHT WITHIN THE BROAD DOWNSTREAM UPPER DIVERGENT PATTERN.
DAYS 2/3...
MID ATLC AND NORTHEAST...
ANOTHER MAJOR SNOWSTORM IS FCST TO DEVELOP AS THE POTENT MIDWEST
CLOSED LOW PULLS EAST...SPARKING RAPID CYCLOGENESIS OFF THE MID
ATLC COAST. SNOW WILL BE SPREADING NEWD INTO THE MID ATLC ON TUES
AS THE PHASED UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES...AND A COASTAL LOW BEGINS
TO FORM OVER THE CAROLINAS. MODELS HAVE BECOME MORE CONSISTENT
OVERALL...WITH THE DEFORMATION ZONE SETTING UP ACROSS THE NRN MID
ATLC REGION ON WEDS. STRONG UVV FROM THE APPROACHING MID/UPPER
LOW SHOULD EXTEND FROM PA/MD TO NJ AND EVENTUALLY SRN NEW ENG.
FAVORED THE GENERALLY SIMILAR GFS/ECMWF SOLNS IN REGARD TO THE
AXIS OF HVY SNOW. THE CMC MODEL REMAINS SOMEWHAT SOUTH OF MOST
OTHER GUIDANCE....WHILE THE UKMET EXTENDS THE HEAVIER PCPN FARTHER
NORTH OF THE CONSENSUS. EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS DURING WEDS NORTH AND WEST OF THE INTENSE SFC
LOW...WITH A POTENTIAL FOR 1 FOOT PLUS AMTS FROM ERN PA AND NJ TO
PARTS OF SRN NEW ENG.
MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES...
STRONG UPPER FORCING IS FCST ALONG AND NORTH OF THE DEEP CLOSED
LOW PULLING EAST FROM IOWA. MODEL CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO FAVOR
THE HVST SNOW ACROSS THE NRN PART OF IL/IN/OH AND THE SRN HALF OF
LOWER MI WHERE 4 TO 8 INCH AMTS SHOULD BE COMMON. LOCALLY HEAVIER
TOTALS ARE POSSIBLE WHERE THE COMMA HEAD MOISTURE PERSISTS THE
LONGEST WHICH IS MOST LIKELY INVOF SRN LOWER MI. A DRY SLOT
SHOULD REDUCE AMTS TOWARD THE OH RIVER...BUT GFS/ECMWF INDICATE A
BATCH OF SNOW ON THE WRN SIDE OF THE CIRC WILL WRAP BACK INTO SRN
OH AND ERN KY EARLY WEDS.
CA TO THE SRN ROCKIES...
NEXT PIECE OF PAC ENERGY TO AFFECT THE U.S. WILL SLIDE SWD ALONG
THE CA COAST ON TUES BEFORE REACHING EAST INTO AZ AND NRN MEXICO
ON WEDS. PAC INFLOW WILL BE MINIMAL UNTIL THE SYSTEM INTERACTS
WITH THE STRONG SUBTROPICAL JET ON D3. THE FAVORABLE FORCING IN
ADVANCE OF THE TROUGH ALONG WITH LOW HEIGHTS/SNOW LEVELS WILL
BRING LOCALLY HVY SNOW INTO THE CNTRL/SRN SIERRA EWD TO THE
FAVORED TERRAIN OF AZ/NM. THE GFS/ECMWF WERE SIMILAR WITH THE
TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AND WERE FOLLOWED.

Statement as of 4:04 PM EST on February 10, 2010
... Blizzard Warning remains in effect until 10 PM EST this
evening...
A Blizzard Warning remains in effect until 10 PM EST this
evening.
* Precipitation type... heavy snow and blowing snow.
* Accumulations... storm total snowfall of 20 to 30 inches... with
highest totals north and east of Baltimore. Drifts 3 to 6 ft.
* Timing... heavy snow and gusty winds will continue into this
evening.
* Temperatures... lower 20s.
* Winds... northwest 25 to 35 mph with gusts around 55 mph.
Blowing and drifting snow will reduce visibilities to a
quarter mile or less at times... producing blizzard
conditions.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
occurring. Do not venture outside. This is a life threatening
situation for anyone who becomes stranded.
Falling and blowing snow with strong winds will create whiteout
conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If
you must travel... have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded... stay with your vehicle.
** NO CURRENT ADVISORY IN EFFECT **blazin3596 # Wednesday, February 10, 2010 10:44:41 PM
Statement as of 5:05 PM EST on February 10, 2010
... Extremely dangerous winter weather conditions continue this
evening for the Baltimore-Washington region... central
Maryland... southern Maryland... and the extreme eastern Panhandle of
West Virginia...
Do not attempt to drive this evening. Despite the fact that the
storm is winding down later this evening... gusty winds to 40 mph
will continue to produce ground blizzard conditions due to blowing
and falling snow.
While all regions in the area are experiencing extremely dangerous
conditions... Baltimore County... the city of Baltimore... Anne
Arundel... Howard... Frederick... Carroll... and Harford counties in
Maryland are experiencing particularly hazardous winter weather
conditions through 10:00 PM.
People are encouraged to simply stay inside... enjoy your favorite
indoor activities... and ride this storm out... the hazardous
conditions will be improving later this evening. Staying off the
Road will help local and state transportation departments better
clear key transportation corridors.
If you get stranded in your vehicle... do not leave your car to try
to walk for assistance... you can quickly become disoriented in
wind driven snow and cold. This storm will subside early this
evening... so wait in your car for emergency help to arrive.
Periodically run your engine for about 10 minutes each hour for
heat. Ensure your exhaust pipe is cleared of snow and ice. Crack
your windows to avoid Carbon monoxide poisoning. Tie a colored cloth
to your cars antenna or window to be visible to rescuers. From
time-to-time... move your arms... legs... fingers... and toes to keep
blood circulating.
