  1. '78 was a totally different evolution....the impact could maybe be similar in a couple spots if this one is bad enough....but yeah, no reason to really break it out at this point.
  2. Heights have been coming in lower over Nova Scotia on these runs too. That's where that "pinching" of the north side of the trough is probably coming from...or at least related to it.
  3. Yeah there would actually be a secondary band on the outer part of the precip shield on that solution...there's a decent area of ML fronto out in W MA and W CT and along the NY border. It wouldn't be a death band like back east, but it would probably drop a nice fluffy secondary jack.
  4. Yeah technically you're right, but we've coopted the term over the years to mean a historical storm wherever it hits. Like we'll say "that's a HECS for Portland Maine"....kind of doesn't really make sense when you break down the acronym, but it's still easier than typing out "a historic storm for PWM"
  5. That capture is how you get a HECS....you need it to stall for 6-8 hours...almost all the great ones did it at least that long. Couple rare exceptions maybe....Feb 5, 2001 for interior.
  6. Northern side of the trough is getting pinched a bit...the RGEM was doing that too which is why I told Ray it would be east of the Euro despite phasing in most of the southern stream....that northern pinch is something to watch.
  7. Yeah I was expecting it better too. My guess is the EPS is too amped, but it is closer to reality than the GEFS. Maybe the old 70/30 rule will restore sanity to the wx forecasting world. But knowing this year...prob not.
  8. Clusters on the 06z EPS weren't too different from 00z...the furthest west members got erased, so that's prob why the mean ticked a shade east but the overall clusters really didn't change. Funny how this is playing out very similarly to Jan 2015....Euro and its ensembles are the furthest west while other guidance is further east. Before the central/western CT peeps get triggered...it doesn't mean it's going to play out just like that storm did.
  9. It would actually be kind of funny if after all this, a bunch of people got 6” of sand because of dryslotting. But yeah, don’t want any part of that look.
  10. Yes. Or have H5 tighten up a little bit so that we’re getting firehosed with heavy precip even if the ML deformation is off to our west…kind of like a Jan 2011 or Feb 2013….you don’t get those nasty dryslots hitting us even though deformation bands are west.
  11. That run was definitely very eerily similar to Boxing Day in the evolution. Right up to the 500mb dryslot too. Boxing Day slotted so bad because not only did it close off and capture far SW, it was really broad at H5 and tore the dryslot all the way up into SNE. We can sometimes get away with systems getting captured way SW (see Dec 92), but you don’t want this big northward broad push aloft that shoves the dryslot really far.
