I’ll say the same. I still have photos of myself with my dad standing next to 8 ft snow drifts by our house after the blizzard of 96. Now I get excited for snow not just to scratch my own itch, but to share those special moments with my kids.

Looks like an erroneous run because I don’t think we ever see that much cyclonic vorticity like this off the Baja coast (unless it’s a tropical cyclone)

Can’t say I hate being on the north side of the heaviest snows as depicted by the nbm. Still a little worried about suppression, but 12z assuaged that concern just a little bit.

Enjoy it folks!

Aifs also late. Dissemination issues it looks like

A coastal that perfectly and beautifully threaded the needle.

I’d say 00z overnight wed/thurs am. for hecs level results, we’re banking on a phase between nrn and srn stream waves out west. We haven’t even sampled that atmosphere yet, so we are playing a dangerous game right now by getting excited over the cmc and ukie. Ngl, I’m briefly envisioning those results imby, but let’s be smart about this. (Generally speaking, not directed at you specifically)

12z gefs much improved: 6z: Now please let the ukie/cmc/aifs verify!

Step in the right direction by gfs. And the cmc, that’s something else!

Once we get to 84-96 hours, I’m sure we’ll see a reshuffling of models. No idea which way it’ll go.

Still new and untested model like AI-GFS and its ensembles. But it has potential

Also notice the PV is more east on gfs than euro, aifs, aigfs

The MSL pressure field actually shifted north in the TVA on 6z vs 0z eps. Mostly noise, but the shift was noticeable.

Just woke up. I’ll summarize… models basically held. We’re on the northern part of the precip shield, which could help our ratios and h700 fgen forcing. Cold high is starting to weaken (was probably overdone). And I’ll address this: in this specific case, move that pna ridge a few hundred miles east, and we’ll suppress this thing all the way to the gulf. The EPO is so strong that we need a little SE ridging to give us a good overrunning event. It’s not the same thing as a bomb cyclone HECS, but overrunning with lots of cold can produce a lot of snow if strong enough.

Going to sleep now, y’all take the euro. I think we’re starting to see models diverging as they usually do between 5-7 days out, and then they’ll re-converge closer to a final solution at around 4 days, which takes us to Wed-Thur.

Rare to have >1050 highs. Even 1040 highs aren’t all that common

Think I’ll take the under on 1055 on that high

Kinda a new development… even more suppressed, then a nrn stream wave pops down and tries to give us some cold smoke. Definitely different from the last two runs. We don’t have the final solution yet.

12/19/09 was a relatively high ratio storm, no mixing no dry slots. 12-14:1 thereabouts.

This echos my thoughts, same page. Increased chance of suppression based on recent runs bút still not the most likely outcome. Just can’t discount the idea right now

Yeah iirc it was stubbornly SE of the rest of all guidance and we were willing it to come NW. In vain of course.

And moisture angling wsw-ene instead of due east (or even SE!)

Yeah, and what’s more, op gfs has been ranking near the bottom for verification scores

Still thinking gfs/gefs may be overdoing the cold dome, its a known bias a week out. Not every day we get 1050 highs rolling in south from canada
