It looks similar to the Para dropping the northern stream vort in from eastern Canada, but the timing is off a bit.
-
Lots of dry air above 700 mb on the sounding. Upper low to the west probably has something to do with it. There will be another round later. Likely all rain though.
-
Da bomb cyclone? Had about 6" in my yard. Ofc I was at Rehoboth experiencing the best blizzard since Feb 2010.
-
We dry slotted. 0.35" here.
-
Yes the timing is critical. Euro drops the hammer, CMC misses, and GFS/Para are just about right.
-
Its a good evolution for most of the area. The key to getting a good outcome(vs a closed low rolling eastward to our south) seems to be the degree of interaction with that NS piece of energy dropping south out of Canada.

Pouring cold rain.
-
6z GEFS individual ens members. Hard to get everything in the same 6 hour window, but you get the idea. Not bad.
-
0z EPS- 6z GEFS-

Barney in the lower 48

I cant argue with this at all.

I am a stickler for what a true block is, and this is the defining characteristic. It isn't just seeing red at h5 up over GL.. a block does just that- it literally blocks the flow/ progression of waves.
-
Yeah Definitely. I mentioned both this morning when I looked at the ensembles. 18z GEFS actually looks "better" for the following piece, with more northern track and more precip, but it also looks warmer. Interpreting it verbatim on the mean, it looks pretty good for your area. Long way to go ofc.
-
Not a bad look on the mean. In the game.
-
Its cutoff from the NS. Its just going to roll on eastward.
-
Pretty classic look. Might help if there was a bit more spacing- that next wave is right on the heels. Also maybe a bit too much of a good thing to our NE.
-
Yeah that piece has been there, but its actually weaker and later this run.
-
Really need at least some NS interaction though.

He has his opinions on NWP, which he is certainly entitled to, but opinions not backed by facts aren't worth much in the scientific community. Not sure why he even posts here, other than to troll.
-
I am not a fan of snowfall maps, esp those generated from op runs, and taken verbatim. They are awful in most cases. However, the ens mean maps- when there are threats in sight- do provide an indication of confidence in the prospects for frozen for a given area, over multiple runs.
-
Looks a lot better than the 0z run over here.
-
The Pac Jet poleward shift/relaxation is the key. We need the vortex there, but we don't want a one-eyed pig sitting in the GOA with no ridging underneath/downstream. The means are advertising the perfect balance going forward, and a sweet pattern overall. Difficult to imagine a better h5 look.
-
Headed to Cape Henlopen? Awesome park. Love going there in winter. You live in a great area. If only it snowed a bit more.
-
But that should make you happy.
