The models are showing us getting a decent amount of snow in CLT consistently, which means we’re likely gonna find a way to screw it up when the actual event gets started based on past experience lol. I’ll be happy if we do get some of the totals they’re calling for though.

There is nothing like a blizzard on the seacoast. Waves crashing, near hurricane force winds and heavy blinding snow. It a must see event for any weenie.

I would love it but has decent amount of snow into DC

I fully expect the euro gfs cmc to kill this within the next 2 hours and then we can move on to the 6-14 threats

GFS Should be better than 06z but that isn't saying much.

At 36h the GFS is a tick west at 500mb. If the CAMs are right about this second Bermuda low it won't matter. But worth noting

Yep, Godfather III lol

normally i'd agree with you but this winter is built different. the atmosphere remembered how to be cold. as PSU always says, just gotta time the cold with a wave right... (not shown: matching CPC chart which shows below normal precip )

FOK down to -5 this morning. Man cold

A balmy 12.5 for the low.

F it, I'll hang on to track a slight chance of a tiny pack refresher. I feel emotionally strong enough at this time.

I gave it until 0z friday, Its rapidly approaching.

I was there yesterday, but, what's another 12z run to confirm things.

Might not be that bad. No first call yet

Can someone post a zoom in of East TN for the NBM? Looking good on the wider map

Hang in there! We’re gonna score!

Who is breaking out the TROWEL?

SC DNR has a really good write-up for a close analog to this type of setup that occurred on 1.2-1.3.2002 PDF file is too big to post, but worth the read if you do a quick Google search....it shows the entire upper air synoptic progression/summary in good detail throughout the storm

Because the thread goes through Virginia

Every pulling for trends that contradict one another for their backyard.. That's the nature of snow in the south

I remember looking at the forecast the morning of and thinking gosh it sure is snowing a lot, it might be more than a couple inches lol.

I definitely wouldnt forecast a hit for anyone outside of Nantucket at this point, but my hope lies in the anomalous nature of this whole setup. Speaking of the setup/// That connection between that departing ULL over the NE and our chunk of energy diving into the upper midwest needs to separate faster. Each of their momentums are screwing us in different ways, so I agree wholeheartedly with @dendritein his post last page The momentum from the western side of things drives heights lower over the atlantic ironically, since thats barbelling southward dragging our eastern lobe with it. This ultimately make it harder for heights to recover from over the Atlantic which keeps the flow from backing and turning more meridional. The momentum from the eastern lobe pulls the western piece more eastward, giving us less wiggle room. The best way for that problem to solve itself is for our western energy to end up further west than modeled, similar to what happened a few days ahead of last weeks storm, and then pinch-off earlier which would theoretically alow it to dig more toward MS/AL instead of SC while simultaneously allowing heights to build off the coast

Yea, if rest of 12z blows, I'm out.
