Everyone here always talks about getting crushed so take it as a win.

Snow cover doing work.

Apparently the next name on their list is Gianna

Are you saying I need to buy a snow blower?

Yeah that's sick. Also look at the trends over the past few runs. The signal is crazy

I’d be happy with a repeat of the early Jan 2018 storm. Yeah it left some on the table, but it was still a blizzard and still had over a foot of snow. If we get a repeat of that, I’m looking at reaching my seasonal average snowfall by Feb 2nd. No matter what happens, still a lot of winter left.

At 118" here, no warmup in sight. Should be an easy 150"+ winter! Just an incredible stretch here in lake effect country.

My main concern now is too much of a NW move down in the SE over time. We don't want to see places like BHM/ATL/BNA getting accumulating snow from this, if that happens there would be a higher chance this has mixing issues up here.

I kinda want to see my parents get a foot in SC

I see this a lot with hurricane tracking - where an EPS ensemble mean will have a fairly weak low pressure signal a week out which actually correlates to a substantial risk of formation. Since each ensemble member is seeded differently, the differences in the model outputs between each ensemble will compound frame by frame a la butterfly effect. To have a defined and visible low pressure system so (relatively) far out means that many of the ensembles are in agreement.

This was the same lead time where everything shifted NW for the storm two days ago. We lost the long flat overrunning look on the 00z runs on Jan 19 and it became evident that we were going to amp up. The CMC was the first to show this.

Funny, I feel like you wouldn’t be making this statement if you were here for the storm. Stop acting like a child and move on. Nobody cares that you missed the storm. I

This clown map looks like a guitar. I think TWC should name this one Prince. I will see myself out.

This solution is pretty incredible. Its literally a piece of the PV lobe breaking off and phasing with a piece of energy in the STJ. The heights would be anomalously low for our area if it were to actually occur. Its extremely rare and also why we should understand the high bust potential of this. Let's hope it works out for a change.

They call these clown maps for a reason. Really, multiple reasons. A: They have an unbelievable look. B: They're funny as hell. I mean, I don't understand fluid dynamics, so I shouldn't talk. But I know climo, and there's no way that this map is ever going to verify even if the storm took the track that was advertised. Bring on the King.

Thing looks like a fuckin hurricane on the CMC

An ensemble mean showing that kind of 500mb evolution is the equivalent of an ensemble showing a U.S. hurricane strike from a week out imo. For so many members to respond this way is a very strong signal for a high end event. Can and likely will change to be sure, but it makes you sit up.

GFS AI Ens continues its trend NW.

Dang it, I don’t like it when we have several models in agreement this far out. Fingers crossed this storm will be different but seeing clown maps like this 5 days out sucks!!

Actually think we're in a really good spot right now. Ridge out west is pretty far west giving us plenty of wiggle room to shift NW. And big storms almost always shift NW

Not to be an ass, but your roof must be pretty unstable. This is pure fluff for the time being.

I agree..vort is 50-100 miles east of where CMC has it most the eastern Valley loses the lift needed. The surface low off the coast only offers maybe some better moisture transport to the 850. Think we are 100% dependent on the 850...surface LP is just too far off (unless the whole setup can go negative tilt and phase together sooner)

Bc these runs tn are closed off so far south that its starts to occlude early and drift east. I still think the models tn were a step in the right direction.

Good trends, So close to something huge.

I’m kind of hoping this one misses. The piles at the end of my driveway are already shoulder high and I’m running out of room. With temps this week bitterly cold not much will melt. Starting to worry about my roof collapsing.
