  1. Past hour
  2. Just keep creeping north 20 miles per day and we are in prime time.
  3. Don't like today's trends for big snow here. Mixed bag and ice becoming a bigger concern each cycle.
  4. Ohhhh so nowwww we’ll achieve a phase. Of course we would.
  5. Never thought anything could eclipse 1996 in DC area and then 2010 and 2016 blew past it. Bob Ryan led the charge with 20-30” forecast in 1996. That was really the first Internet storm with SNONUT and PTRAVEL on the dial up discussion boards.
  6. AI models are shifting north with thermals. Folks in western and central NC should think about getting a generator.
  7. The January 1996 blizzard dropped 21 inches on JFK airport with 1.1 qpf. This storm would have similar temperature profiles at least, don't know about the other dynamics involved.
  8. Quick glance and thoughts, sorry if posted earlier: • GFS / AIGFS alone in terms of timing of stream interactions, too little too late for SNE... can't be certain it's wrong, but I favor this having impact on SNE, and potentially very big impact if we can get northern stream interaction sooner rather than a later infusion of trailing energy at exit • some similarities to Feb 15-18 2003 aka PD2 at H5... https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/2003/us0217.php • interesting that AI-GFS vs. AI-EC very different from each other compared to their strong consensus for Jan 18 event • lost in the trenches of forecasting an upcoming event... this definitely feels like we're turning a corner in SNE compared to last 4 years
  9. True. Sleet might be underrated. Big FZRA storms I can do without, though.

  11. Are you allowed to share this? .
  12. At present, it appears very likely that Washington, DC will see 6" or above snowfall during the January 24-26, 2026 snowstorm. Since 1950, below is the distribution of outcomes based on 6" or above and 10" or above January-February snowstorms in Washington, DC for New York City and Philadelphia. In theory, guidance with the higher-skill initialization (4dVAR)/better resolution (ECMWF, GGEM, and UKMET) should have a better handle at the current lead time. One can't fully dismiss the GFS, especially as there are ensemble members that support its solution. However, if one also weighs the historical outcomes while waiting for the guidance to reach higher skill levels in resolving the synoptic details (usually within 3 days of the event), it seems plausible that New York City and Philadelphia are possibly in line for at least a 3"-6" snowfall with upside potential if full phasing takes place and the storm tracks closer to the coast.
  13. Anyone know when this will be integrated into the models @high risk @MillvilleWx @WxUSAF
  14. @WxWatcher007id sell my soul to you for minimum 2 years if this verified. Let the Reaper come back!
  15. That is my greatest memory of Bob Ryan. I used to “argue” with him on tv and loved watching him increase the forecast.
  16. Looks like the para CMC jumped about 200 miles south with its snow line since 0z. 40 north now instead of central KY
  17. Well, evidently the Scooters groundhog has some kind of Puxatony Phil powers. Didn't seem overly scared of his shadow, but maybe that is what happens when good folks slip you a cake bite now and then - got to stay visible.
  18. If this pans out as forecast, its a winter saver for DC-Philly, which has been hurting in snow department this year. DC had average snow in 2019, 2024, and 2025. Philly had average snow in 2021 but baltimore has been snowholed since 2018. Baltimore has missed out on almost every big snow over past 10 years. Overall, entire I-95 corridor has been hurt by the 2020s, lowest snowfall average of any recorded decade. Boston can always get the late blooming blizzard, but wow has I-95 been lacking
  19. The perfect storm amount imo. Not too much to absolutely destroy a week, but enough to kill a a day or two. Fluffy snow makes it even better since it’s easier to clear! FAIW Broadway show runners are already messaging about potential snow impacts.
  20. 6hrs snowfall off latest Sref. Pretty far north. https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=srefens&p=sn10_006h-mean-imp&rh=2026012015&fh=87&r=conus&dpdt=&mc=&pwplus=1
