The Iceman

like the euro ai def looks like a good hit am I crazy? The reg euro wasn’t bad either.

Euro looks good on TT too how’s the snow maps?

Gfs ftw

I don't look at the HRRR past 18 hours(and it's even a stretch there) so no worries there

Anyone else taking the plunge and going to the game Sunday? Ticket prices have been dropping since yesterday and me and my buddy snagged a pair. Figured playoff game in Philly in the snow is not something that happens every day. I'm beyond hyped. Hopefully the storm and/or the game doesn't disappoint!

Yeah I'm not gonna cliff jump based on the effing canadian suite. I'm still liking region wide 3-6" with maybe a period of sleet for 95. Think watches should be going up by this evening correct?

CMC schooling the GFS EURO and ICON would be kick in the pants but I'm going to choose good vibes and be hopeful with the consensus. 3-6" with mixing possible along 95. We take.

GFS/ICON/NAM/EURO vs RGEM. May 95 mix a bit for a period or change to sleet, possibly. I just don't see this being a majority sleet or rain event though for 95 still. I think 3-6" for most looks solid.

I feel like their goaltending is trash this year lol They'd actually be solidly a playoff team if they were getting average goaltending. Ersson is the only NHL goalie on the team and he's not a franchise guy yet. Plays his best in a tandem 1a/1b situation. Problem is fedotov STINKS and kolosov is just not ready for the NHL yet. There's some real nice pieces though. Their other big problem is that they have no good centers. Coots is a better winger at this stage in his career, Frost is a 2C at best probably better suited to 3 C, Poehling and Laughton are both 4 C's. They really need to add 2 dynamic centers and they would be contenders. Until then they'll be in that 10-20 range based on their goaltending.

.5” last night here. The penny events continue… now up to 5 events with 6” accumulation total on the season

Ticket prices are going down… me and my buddy are keeping an eye on it. This pretty much a dream of mine so I’m willing to fork out some $$$ to attend.

Wish I could make it bigger to truly see it

I don't believe the CMC gradient at all, the cold air pressing in means business, that's a seriously cold air mass. I still think I'd be more worried about a whiff than rain along 95.

12z GFS is a weenie run for sure... double dip with 2 WSW events. 1/19 and 1/24.

Yup 2 of their 3 losses this year they beat themselves. This is a great team. If they don’t turn the ball over, they will win 9 times out of 10 against anyone in the league.

Gfs is going to nail this one from 6 days out isn’t it?

My prediction is Commanders shock the Lions on Saturday, Eagles beat the Rams on Sunday in a close game where Jake Elliot kicks a game winning field goal in the snow as time expires. NFC championship in Philly and they beat the pants off the Commanders to go back to the super bowl to play Buffalo or Baltimore. Super Bowl is a toss up. Go Birds!

Man if the GFS nails this over the Euro and others after being straight azz the last two events that'll be quite a kick in the pants. Snow eagles game would be epic.

00z is where we begin reeling this back in, I’m driving the bus, who’s hopping on?

We don’t typically open storm threads until multiple models have the threat and it’s inside 84 hours. They are a bit of a curse outside that time frame so we just keep general winter discussion in here until a threat becomes more likely.

the great winters tip their hands usually early. Not saying we can’t get to normal but remarkable comeback great seasons like 17-18 are far and few between. I’ll be pretty surprised if we don’t see a sustained above normal period this winter and the pattern on the other models is how we’d roll into it imo. Overall largely striking out during our favorable period when we only see two maybe three favorable periods if we are lucky in a winter would just not be a good sign just my opinion. If we reel in this weekend with a nice 6-12” storm well then most will be well above normal on the year and we won’t be as reliant on the next favorable period to get to above normal.

Welcome to Philly, all you need to know is Go Birds and you’ll get on just fine around these parts

It’s tough that band that went over me and got me to 2” created a dry/light slot over the city. No way that could have been forecasted. If that band hits the city they are at 3” maybe more and the warning is closer to verifying. Given the temps and the timing I understand why they issued it. Potential was there.

Definitely. My mother lives right down the street and she called me in a panic last night asking if she needed to go to Walmart to stock up before the snow and I was like uhhhh it’s only going to be 1-3” tops chill out lol I don’t have cable so I never really watch the local news but I know that’s where she must have gotten the idea it was going to be bad. I always just follow mt Holly, they rarely steer me wrong in snow events. This was another well forecasted storm they trended amounts downward as we got closer and it was definitely correct.

Yeah that’s why I said in the other thread we really need to reel in this weekend and that the GFS is onto something if this winter has any hopes of being above average imo
