Looks like the improvements at h5 and the low being closer to the coast and stronger hurt us by robbing our moisture from the northern stream a bit? Highest snowfall closest to the coast and a sharper northern edge. Regardless the trend for the low to be closer and stronger (if it continues) would be a good way to get a lot more benefit from the coastal and is a good sign for a larger snowstorm being possible.
He is upset that he has not gotten as much snow as he should have by now. Despite having more days with snow on the ground than the majority of the forum. This is due to most storms missing to the east and south which this storm also appears to be doing on the latest run of the GFS.
I believe that this is simply a miller A that bombs out too late for us. The current GFS and Icon have a low pressure off the coast south of NC. This is due to a SS and NS component that phases too late. This picture of the 6z GFS shows how it is a miller A due to the low off the coast and no miller B element.
Definitely, the way the radar is lined up we seem to at the very least have some sort of precipitation moving in when most models predicted nothing, if only it could arrive 8 hours earlier or later or it just be a bit colder out.
Looks like the bottom energy goes neutral tilt while the second piece of energy dives in behind it at a positive tilt and then phases with the first thing turning the whole system positive tilt. I think that’s what happens at least if anyone smarter than me wants to correct me please do.
