  1. I don't think it matters at this point anymore. Maybe root for it to start at night after temps drop
  2. Back to where we were on the 31st, but still better than on the 30th. Do you have the same charts for IAD?
  3. I noticed a trend where strorms look stronger at longer leads and then become weaker
  4. More like, its the end of the first quarter and we’re down 14-3. We did get a field goal on Dec 11. Still plenty of game left
  5. The r/s line was too close that any north trend would kill it
  6. In the h5 charts I posted earlier, there were huge 500 mile swings in the western trough behind this system's wave. There's no way that detail has been nailed down yet.
  7. Even a 20 mile shift in the right direction would change everything, and we won't see it until close to game time. That's if the r/s line stays where it is and doesn't continue trending north.
  8. Great analysis, and that's what changed in the last couple of cycles.
  9. I don't usually go into the panic room, but... *sigh* Oh well, back to work
  10. I-95 west is not out of the game yet. Maybe we won't get an all-snow event, but we'll see how the mesos handle the thermals going in. A lot of the time, they bleed colder than the globals the closer the event gets.
  11. How the models shifted on H5 GFS: GEM: The Euro had an opposite shift from yesterday's 12z to today's 0z. I'll let you guys make your own interpretations.
  12. Oh I wasn't even looking at the snow maps. I was looking at h5 and slp tracks
  13. If you must look at the ICON, 12z is almost identical to 0z.
  14. I love Spain. Where did you go? I've been to Seville and Bilbao. Both cities are a total contrast from each other, really interesting. And during the afternoon siestas, entire cities go really quiet and almost nothing is open. When I was at the Madrid airport about to leave, it started snowing. It was March.
  15. In case anyone was wondering where I stand, that's all I was saying. Temper our expectations. Even the smallest trend one way or another can result in a drastic change in the outcome close to the fall line. Closer to I-81 will probably be fine and more immune to these shifts.
  16. Yeah, when I was looking at the 50/50, there isn’t enough of a block to hold it in place. What we DO have going for us is timing. Faster storm, most precip happens at night, and with the in situ airmass like you said, we may still thread the needle to get at least a few inches east of the blue ridge. Which would be a win in early Jan during a nino. And I wouldn’t also count out the back end precip as the low departs.
  17. Even on the GFS I see a trend towards a weaker and further east 50/50 low, thanks to the wednesday system being less amped off the coast. I’m trying to be positive, but the gfs seems to be hanging on by a thread thanks to that stout 1031 high to the north despite less cold air. Continue that trend, and this thing may slip away from us. Let’s hope things get colder in 96-48 hr lead times
  18. Or maybe its just a bad off run. Didn’t 0z euro trend better for i-95?
  19. Can’t remember which model, but I picked up on weaker confluence last night. Euro 6z seems to be continuing that trend, while gfs is doing the opposite. We’ll have to see who is right about the confluence up north.
  20. No high to the north at all. That would probably be the worst case scenario
  21. Also more spacing. I think this event gained almost a full day from when we started tracking. Models have it starting around 1-3 pm saturday So by 18z tomorrow, we’ll be tracking an event at inside 96 hours
  22. Confluence a bit weaker, which is why the r/s line moved north. But there are also timing differences, and more spacing between the western vort
  23. Although the SE Canada high retreated NE a bit, allowing the warm nose a bit north, note the second H north of MN. That’s new - wasn’t there before. Could be a new trend with better backside snows. Or it could be a blip?
  24. Icon also speeding up the storm, as has the other models. the speed up trend is for real
