Good luck with a full phase at an appreciably low enough latitude for a historic impact anywhere in SNE...more like NS. The look out west just begs for a messy phase.
Ordinarily 8-12" wouldn't do a ton for me...but with several inches on the ground and potentially several more to come this weekend, I could work with it.
Its all so precarious when you are reliant upon a phase with a high degree of proficiency...especially in a la nina season. I'd rather just have a northern stream bowling ball roll under LI, but I understand why at this latitude he would prefer a pure southern wave.
We'll see what happens....always good debating with you because you know your stuff. I just feel a high end outcome FOR US a la Jan 2015 or Jan 2005 is less likely in this instance relative to other large storm potential given the type of evolution. Hopefully a good storm, nonetheless.
Jan 2015, Jan 2011, Jan 2005, Dec 2003, April 1997, Feb 1978, Feb 1969x2...I won't count Jan 1961 because that was pretty localized 2' amounts.
All of those evolved differently form this in that they had more n stream vs s stream contribution.
Which ones? I don't think any of those dropped widespread 2' amounts up here, which is my point. All I said was the ceiling is capped, not that there can't be a nice storm.
