Winter Storm Threat *Technical* Discussion. No Op Run PBP or Snow maps
mitchnick replied to CAPE's topic in Mid Atlantic
Maybe something like this at 366hrs on the GfsAI run. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=aigfs®ion=us&pkg=mslp_pcpn&runtime=2026020918&fh=366 -
The WB 18Z GFS is awful for several reasons. 1. The high is way off the east coast allowing for SE winds 2. The upper level low is tracking too far south and therefore so is the surface low. 3. The surface low is weak. 4. We have marginally cold air at best so without a near perfect alignment of the high, upper level low, and surface low, we get rain or nothing at all. Looking for the more perfect alignment? How about the New Canadian model at 12Z. (Pictures below 10pm Sunday.)

Winter 2025-26 Medium/Long Range Discussion

I’d guess Wisconsin and Minnesota. -
How is this evidence of anything? At least the colors are pretty.

why don't you message him and tell him what you think

February 2026 OBS & Discussion

That's quite worrisome, especially when it comes to science. Science is truly at the cutting edge of knowledge creation and, if expertise is watered down, it will have an adverse impact on that outcome. -
When it’s mild there isn’t enough instability to generate showers so the moisture from the lakes just sits in a uniform layer doing nothing. In a cold lake effect pattern there’s usually sunbreaks between bands and when the wind shifts less onshore. Also, the small bit of Pacific moisture aloft makes it harder for the stratus to evaporate from the top like it can with a bone dry arctic airmass above it. This is my explanation.

Feb 10-11 Mid Week Minor Event - Ride the hot hand?
HoarfrostHubb replied to HoarfrostHubb's topic in New England
Naw. Models have been kind of all over SNE. NNE and CNE should do better but I think most of Mass will do ok. Not sure about SW CT. -
and setting up a FB page and website and promoting yourself as an expert and getting people to pay you for your services is even easier !

This is the worst map I have ever seen. Everything about it is wrong. Its probably a map created by AI where the prompter asked for a map showing a warm transition It's the only explanation. There is absolutely no meteorology behind this map

My favorite weather hiking is arguably the Shenandoah's in a good upslope event. Frankly its otherworldly to ascend into the cloud deck and go from showers to a downpour on the mountainside. While I love my snow hikes rain hikes are even more dynamic. Hoping I get some opportunities for that this spring with temperatures around 60.

Exactly. Sadly nowadays even a degree doesn’t mean much. It is very hard to “fail” someone out of a degree these days. There is so much “support” to help even the weakest minds through. Failing at the basics while still earning a science degree is very much achievable now.

Work took me down Seaside today; I’ve never seen the Barnegat Bay frozen solid from shore to shore. Manasquan inlet up by Point was open water, but down by the Route 37 bridge it was frozen solid.

Please God let the HRRR be right it has me nearly reach 70 degrees tomorrow.

With the preliminary climate report for today 31/10 the scoring above is now confirmed. CPcantmeasuresnow had the lowest total errors (1 deg) followed by Tony and bkviking (2 deg). CPcantmeasuresnow had a perfect 17/3 going before the final report of 18/3 changed the results by one degree but still finished first in the temperature contest. I will review the snowfall situation at end of tomorrow's data and score the snowfall forecasts separately just for fun. The current standings are also shown in the previous post. Thanks for participating.

Snow depth still at 5.5-6.3”

Whatever the merits of this map, arctic cold does not arrive in the west from the central Pacific. It builds down from the Yukon.

And throw in a Norlun or two. -
RGEM GFS and NAM have 1-2 inches just north of NYC tomorrow night

Ehhhh its progression makes sense sadly. Not saying its right but with this pattern we are relying solely on timing so a situation where the 50/50 is too progressive and we end up without any cold at all is possible. Though I guess it's a less damning storm in terms of PSU's climate change book if that happens.

We need like weekly 1” rain events for a couple months and then a juicy thunderstorm season. Drought just won’t quit us…
