Yes....also less time for ERC...the only positive is that it won't be a worst case for surge, as ERCs are a vehicle for growth. Later intensification also means less time to pile water. This is potentially a worst case for wind, not surge.
Yea, my time-table was off by about 12-24 hours...I shouldn't have dismissed that initial shear, but I am not sure that is a good thing for the coast when all is said and done.
To me, the safe way to interpret that at first glance is to not expect a wall-to-wall terd. Doesn't mean go nuts necessarily....especially with the ONI so high.
I think a reasonable floor is more of a 2015-2016 type of outcome in terms of snowfall...as opposed to 97-98 or 72-73.
Nice post. Only two issues with my thoughts from late Sunday/early Monday is that I rushed the RI by about 12 hours by underplaying the initial shear a bit, and probably need to adjust west a tad.
There is quite a dichotomy among the top analogs and it's due to the behavior of the polar domain...this is why I attempted to use the solar cycle and QBO to gain insight into that a couple of week back.
Yea, extratropical refers to much more than polar.
I see what you meant earlier, maybe I posed an incorrect link. This one works.

It makes sense to me because they don't have time for ERCs and other fluctuations. Most storms don't sustain that intensity for long, so you want rapid spin ups.
