Not a lot of wiggle room. 4 of the last 5 gfs runs have a similar track, so that’s a plus. But there is a lot of time and dr. No to contend with.

Gfs is a decent hit but...east of previous run.

IIRC the old euro had a bias of hanging the sw back too long, only to correct later? Seems like I remember that. this storm has that sort of back and forth modeling we saw many times in the snowy years. Probably won’t play out the same way: gfs picks up on something early, euro agrees, then they both waver with the euro out underneath due to slow eject. Then wham a nice euro run and everything else catches up. Would be fun to track like the old days. Edit just snow snow88 post. Yeah...but I think the model has a new set of issues nowadays...i.e. it’s generally more erratic

In the old days we liked whiffs right in this time range.

It seems trends are coastal or whiff, rather not a cut through Detroit this time. Suppose that’s a pattern change. We will see if it holds. I am actually thinking hugger when all is said and done.

Agree. It’s not going through Detroit there. That’s a good sign at this point. As long as we never see that between now and game time we have a shot.

Door number 3 sort of on the EPS. Ots. Kick a field goal?

Wait what February are we talking about

ONE of them is Dr. No. Which one? CMC is down with the GFS, but more west. The delta between the CMC and Euro is planetary. Behind door number three is the week wave that scoots out underneath us.

Noticed that too. that pig can rule the roost, but we shall see. I suspect a transient, less amplified trough if anything.

I mean it looks like a big occluded low, and we have seen these modeled a couple of times. Its pretty potent. its also not likely verbatim.

I expected this to stay coastal on the modeling until Wednesday or so. The cut is modeled early.

Stay safe

Euro appears to be more west yet.

There are a lot of Mets over there and they offer tidbits for us out west so I poke around there quite a bit. And anytime one of the civilian posters complain about rain and dry slots, that means we are good upstate. Our best storms are usually grim for them. I will also say my camp is located in the Adirondacks which is kind of like a Bermuda triangle of the weather boards. Often time that latitude corresponds a lot with what the northern NE crew are concerned with and not necessarily what is on the minds of this board out in western NY. I also live closer to the NYC so that forum is interesting for my backyard. I lurk the Sh*t out the forums during storm threats!

i'm there now. which is why it will snow at my camp up north this weekend.

The 6Z GFS at 240 is eye candy oh my. The pattern looks good esp. upstream this time.

I guess people are staying up for the GGEM. i like the weekend for my Adirondacks interests. Also, something appears to be brewing long range. Good times ahead.

Agree on euro. Details to be worked out but it looks more gfs like.

The green is from lake modified air. Doubt it matters for anyone. Besides that kind of detail doesn’t matter now.

Weenie run. Improved so trending with an earlier transfer. At least it didn’t cut left like the 12z euro. Good look as of now.

This weekend storm might work out and be interesting for many. It’s a different look to be sure: got a decent airmass to work with, certainly appears potent. the Oz. GFS depicts A 992 LP pressing into a stout 1044 HP to the north, from Chicago to the st. Lawrence valley. Verbatim the GFS shows snow to start, a transition to rain, and then backend snows for western NY. The LP transfers to the coast into the gulf of Maine and everyone is back to snow for a spell for the west and central. The dacks look to the jackpot on the gfs, as well as eastern NY with the transfer to coastal The Euro sports a more western track. The low is weaker and takes it into the UP of michigan and the transfers from Ottawa to SNE. Less snow and more rain on this one verbatim, the but position of the LP after transfer suggests the backend would be decent even though the model doesn’t show verbatim. The rainy part for western NY could actually be dry slot...so all is not lost. Dacks also jack. My take is there is an LP transfer is in the cards, details TBD. This set up kind of makes a cut path work out as the SE ridge retreats, better antecedent airmass, and a stout HP to the north. A strengthening coastal hugger can chuck snow westward, and Both models depict snowy outcomes, but a mix will likely have to be tolerated. Not a bad look at this timeframe.

I think nyc has hit 70 during winter months 3 times in 4 years if got there today.

The end of the ensembles look decent, but...the medium range doesn’t and the short range is garbage. Watch how the 16th keeps trending the wrong way. The current cutter cut further west than progged 2 days ago. Modeling can have this sustained long range look only to erode as we progress closer through time to the current sensible weather overhead. Mirages and Fata Morganas. You can see wintry appeal, but always in the distance. Pretty soon the long range will correct warm because it’s spring.

Euro shows a synoptic deal next week, though odd. It’d big tho.
