  1. I was so optimistic when it made it to Louisiana and then it just stops dead in its tracks with CAD firmly entrenched to the north lol. We can’t get a break.
  2. Ya know what they say about the tail end of patterns
  3. Was just thinking the same thing. My biggest fear from the start was that the push of cold would be too much. When people started talking about the piece of the polar vortex breaking off, I had a bad feeling. It’s such a balancing act and this surge is just too overwhelming to kick off anything meaningful in our area. I’d love to see one good classic setup in Jan or February where we can get a sprawling high over upstate NY and rely on true CAD.
  4. Hour 72 on the NAM is such a teaser. That 1041 high over Canada almost gets the job done but it’s just a bit too far away to make it happen.
  5. 17.2 this morning. We live in a cold sink, so I’m at least excited to see what happens over this next week. Won’t be surprised if I can hit single digits Saturday morning.
  6. Best advice I have for everyone to consider, if you get some spare time or a weekend where northwest flow is forecasted, don’t hesitate to head up with the family. A lot of people don’t realize it, but when they close the parkway for snow, it’s open to recreation. Take the sleds and enjoy. I know it’s never the same as snow in your backyard but it’ll satisfy the itch enough. I’m down in Burke County now, but always try to go up when a big flow event is forecasted.
  7. Hope this trends drier. I’m absolutely sick of the rain.
  8. You can toss the UKMET in the improved department too
  9. Yea and it’s important to stay wary of the main thread. For most, I hate to say it, they live in areas where storms in borderline perfect setups don’t work in their favor. And when they don’t, it’s all pessimism and hate for anyone that does score.
  10. Annnnnnnd we’re back to an east coast solution. Gonna be curious to see if we get any level of agreement from the euro.
  11. Ridge looks flatter than 18z at hr 90 but let’s see how this goes
  12. Even if it trends towards 2 inches of rain it just feels so dang good to be tracking something - anything.
  13. I’m chuckling because you’re 100% right - how do you split the difference between a foot of snow and a severe weather outbreak? The models are laughable at this point and the most we should take away is that the ensembles show a favorable pattern.
  14. For what it’s worth, the gfs and GEFS have been consistent with the signal for days.
  15. Another angle of that to consider: the GFS and a vast majority of its ensembles have honed in on a similar setup for days and continue to do so. It’s the only one without the major swings you described. Consistency matters.
  16. I’ll get toasted and roasted in the other thread if I say this, so I’ll say it here: the gfs is on an island but I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw the Euro have a correct solution at day 7 either. Last January’s storm, the gfs was completely on an island.
  17. It won’t be heartbreak if I don’t go ahead and set myself up for disappointment now
