Agreed. It’s plausible but it requires some pretty awesome dynamics like we saw on the 12z Euro run yesterday and some of those GFS runs. Im sticking with 8-12 here and if some of these runs inside of 36h starting tonight decide to go bonkers, then you can always adjust. The one thing I hate telling people historically as a forecaster is to expect high amounts and then have to cut back really late in the game.

There’s still a good amount of difference in 925 temps between model guidance. GFS is a bit more marginal with like -2 or -3 at 925 but euro goes like -5 to -6 in the CCB. That’s going to be a difference of at least 4” during the meat of it imho. Also rates will decide a large portion of the CP’s fate.

Yeah I hear you. This pattern has been chaos on guidance. Lot of shortwaves in the flow. It could easily end up as nothing. GFS has two moderate threats before that…sometimes we miss those when searching for the unicorns. -
Yeah I mean I’m not worried here about much here except whether it’s 8” or 15”…first world problems for snow lovers. But I think most of SNE is safe for warning criteria if you’re more than 5-10 miles away from the water…I’m pretty confident BOS will get warning criteria but it could still go sideways there with advisory slop if a bunch of things go wrong such as rates, storm moves too quickly after sfc cools to freezing, etc.

Yeah I thought I was gonna get like an 18-burger that run when I saw what aloft looked like at 51 hours but then it didn’t really show up on QPF. Speed of this system is what is keeping me from going fully crazy bullish IMBY. I feel good about 8-12 but still potential for higher if we can pseudo-stall it for like 2 hours during the capture. GFS didn’t really allow that.

I mean, the OP euro last night at D9-10 was pretty obvious…but if we hate OP runs, the general pattern for something is there on the ensembles….you have a trough entering the Midwest/Oh valley with a 50/50 in place and even a bit of a WAR to try and push this back west if it tries to escape east. I’m not honking or anything yet but there’s certainly potential -
Different issue…h7 track is mostly independent of antecedent airmass. I say “mostly” because a really cold antecedent airmass would probably force things a little south even aloft. The problem so often the last two years has been basically no good high to the north. And the couple times we’ve had a decent high, it wasn’t a fresh airmass.

There’s some threats after the clipper too. 2/20-21 is starting to show up more. Some guidance tries to sneak in a smaller threat 2/17-18 too.
