Cody is a great Met and great friend I work with at WPC. Something tells me it could trend a bit more NW in the grand scheme, but I still feel this is more for areas southeast of the fall line. We shall see how it all unfolds. I’m curious to see how the NAM Nest starts handling this thing once we get into range. I love the moisture feed with this thing on the S/S wave. The N/S just doesn’t want to play nice, but that is the hardest variable to solve traditionally for NWP. I’m not totally throwing any towels for areas east of Rt15 

Looks like Millville, Ocean View, the DE/MD Beaches and the lower DelMarVa are gonna be the winners, eh?

Well .. New Castle Co DE Emergency Operations Division is getting very interested which bodes well for NE MD and the upper Eastern Shore… they titled this flash “Surprise Snow Storm”

If lives are depending on you, I hope you make it.  If it's non-essential or someone can fill in, I hope I-95 is impassable  

Emergency Room —- so I’ll be busy with falls, shoveling cardiacs, respiratory due to cold air and inevitable snowblower injuries and back pain … sorry Mods … banter .. but thx Deck Pic! Don’t come visit! Any of you! Stay safe!

Are you able to have someone fill in for you?  Because I hope the storm is severe enough that you don't make it.  

Not likely … I’ll slug down 95 .. nice and slow and hopefully see some rakeage flakeage. Radar returns already starting to light up west of us … atmosphere must be pre-gaming 

Actually posted WSW 5-6” for MD/DE line. Do I get my bingo piece for NE MD jackpot? Have to pull a shift in UMMS Hospital tmrw … should be an interesting commute

That is getting way closer to what we want, uts definitely workable as is, and it’s a slight “pinwheel” retrogression in that nao and associated drop SE of the mid lat trough from becoming REALLY good.  

I know it’s subtle but the key is getting the trough out of western Canada. Everything will cut with it anchored there.  Ideally the best look for snow in the mid Atlantic is when the positive over the top is anchored west of the negative to the south. That’s not far from that if the trough trends any further east and can get a wave break in the 50/50.  
 

That’s the trend we want to see for mid January. 

Does the Atlantic get more “blocky” if the Wstrn Canadian trough relaxes or does it just allow for more confluence towards the East Coast? I’m trying to picture the upper air physics in how you’ve described the WCand airmass

Icon was Jaws music worthy at the end of the run

Pretty certain this is the best post of the day. “you’re gonna need a bigger boat” (or Omega block) 

Near Elkton MD … pretty scene … the Start of a Nino winter???

anyone have a statistical nod to how we do in Nino winters when first measurable snow is before Dec. 10??

You're really not wrong about that--I mean seriously. Any lurkers here that were psych majors? I'd pay to hear a psychoanalysis of this forum, lol I mean I'd legit welcome it, actually--many of us have got to learn to cope better, seriously.

Straight up cray cray. But I do love it here

To all members,

I feel like I need to apologize to you all for what happened earlier.  I'm sorry.  I lost my temper.  I'm not going to blame a "bad day" or some external reason.  There is no reason or excuse. I just lost it and I'm sorry y'all had to see it.  I can't say it was behavior unbecoming of an admin because let's face it, I suck as an admin and I don't even look at myself as one.  I'm only an admin because I co-founded this board.  Yeah, I joke about banning people, but most of you all know it's just that...jokes.  Thank God @IronTy wife isn't the sole owner of this board, because after this morning,  she'd be driving down 95 to pay me a visit.    With that said, I'm opting out of pbp.  Not because of what happened today (well mostly not), it's because I'm just sick of this see-sawing GD storm.   

Again, apologies to the board.

Give yourself a pass and a break. Very much enjoy your commentary

GEFS and GEPS means both moved toward a snowier outcome for us based on what I can see. And EPS still looks pretty good. Still plenty of hope for a nice powder event.

40% of the Euro ENS (20/50 members) were absolute crushers … or is that a bad ensemble run after a bad op run? Clarify: meaning the Euro has moved towards a GFSish outcome.
