  1. With the advertised pattern, there shouldn't be a cutter problem. A Miller B evolution sure. Probably favored given all the NS vorticity flying around. Most likely failure mode would be suppression. There is some crazy confluence on that Euro run. The 50-50 vortex retrogrades southwestward towards New England lol. A quasi-stationary 50-50 is an indication of a true NA block, but that's too much of a good thing.
  2. Not necessarily. Some of our best NA blocking periods are associated with being 'just cold enough'. In this case there is also an amplified EPO ridge and a southward displaced TPV.
  3. and then NC gets a foot+ for the next one while we smokin' cirrus?
  4. I was mostly just skeptical that it would actually evolve into something sustained/significant. Initially on guidance it appeared the NAO would be modestly negative once the EPO block set up.
  5. The strongest signal for a snowstorm across 0z ensemble runs is the EPS for the 10th- and it is a strong signal for this range. A bit of a weaker signal on the 6z GEFS with low pressure more offshore compared to the 0z run. The 6-7th storm has an initial low to our NW on the majority of members, with secondary development somewhere along the MA coast(Miller B). In a nutshell, not much has changed and it is still too early for details.
  6. Bengals live another day. Hell of a game. All Denver had to do was get a first down and run out the clock to get in the playoffs. They couldn't do it. Burrow could be the MVP, but won't because of the crappy record.
  7. That storm isnt even in my top 10 list.
  8. Yeah a tad further east and no p-type issues for the coastal plain.
  9. It didn't. It dry slotted for eastern areas, which was worse lol. Heavy snow to sleet is better than literally half a storm.
  10. At long range, it's a crapshoot either way. The mean is what is generally used. But hey if it helps you cope because you might miss out on something big, have at it!
  11. Side note- too bad there isn't an island chain due east of DE to take advantage of offshore lows and ocean effect snow with Arctic outbreaks.
  12. Why concern yourself with TOO MUCH COLD? Not something we struggle with much lately lol The upcoming pattern should not be the frustrating cold/dry warm/wet deal either if we in fact get the HL -AO/NAO/EPO trifecta. Can we still fail? Absolutely. But it will be bad luck with wave timing that will most likely be the culprit.
  13. The 12z EPS depicts snow on snow between the 6th and the 12th. Not a fan of snow maps at range, but this is indicative of the potential we are looking at for the upcoming pattern. Remember this is a mean, not to be interpreted as expected actual amounts. As such it is pretty impressive.
  14. There is more action on the GEFS between the 9th and 12th but but too diffuse on the mean- would need to dig into the individual members to sort it out and not worth the effort at this range. Upshot is cold with more precip chances.
  15. For the initial storm, there is definitely a Miller B look among some members, with initial lower pressure to our NW- more so on the EPS. Given the advertised pattern the NS is going to be busy and as we get closer tracking wave interactions and timing is going to be 'fun' lol.
  16. Interestingly the 6z Euro has a much more distinct/sharper shortwave embedded in the flow at the end of its run. Something to keep on eye on for the 12z suite. Although Jan 4 has never looked like a big storm potential, hints for something minor have been there on some op runs and ens guidance.
  17. The 0z EPS has storm signals for the 6-7th and again around the 10th. Ditto for the CMC ens. Nice to see agreement on the same general timeframes. No details.
  18. Way out there and a little more diffuse but there is a signal for the 10th.
