  1. Yep, thats what the lwx afd said. 50/66 north might get something like 1-3” if the closed low and in situ cold plays out. Otherwise best chances of accumulation north of the m/d line another trend in out favor is still not out of the question though
  2. When was the 19th and that week in play? If I remember correctly, there was going to be a dry period as blocking strengthens. It peaks around the 20th, and then that’s when our chances start. Nothing seems to be slipping away for me. And our 850mb climo is still -3 in late Feb, so we’re still fine
  3. To support this point, I saw 3 “waves” of interest on the ensembles a couple days back. One is the feb 13-14. The other two came later but were too close together that I read it as disagreement among ensemble members. Now they seem to be consolidating into better agreement on that third wave.
  4. My inner weenie says “last time we saw a blend like this, it went south and we got hit. Twice in a row”
  5. Judging from the trends, the slower this system is the better it is for us. Faster means warmer in this case. Not sure which way this is going to eventually break, but I don’t like being on the southern 1/3 of the snow area. Learned that lesson on Jan 7
  6. Gotta go pick up my daughter now... will have to rely on you guys for the pbp
  7. I think we'll like this one Similar to 06z, but with better ridging out west
  8. Well at least the op has ensemble support. I'd be a little more excited if the GFS has been performing better. But it's been pretty bad, so. I'd give it another 24 hours of all model runs and watch the trends closely.
  9. Let's temper our expectations. The GFS is on its own with the snowy solution. CMC did shift further south, so maybe it's onto something like resolving the s/w spacing, confluence, etc. Need to see the Euro blink, though
  10. I count 3 potential waves, which could turn out to be 2 in reality. Likely the first (19-20th) and third (23rd that PSU has been harping on)
  11. Gfs turns this back into a cutter, like it was showing a week ago.
  12. Always a chance we get a lucky shift south like we did with the second Jan storm, but I don’t think this is it. We don’t have a PV or any arctic front pressing things south as the wave approaches to begin with. I’m more interested in the feb 18-20 window
  13. 24.8 for the low. Classic cold winter morning
  14. Just need to delay this wave by a day to give cold air enough time to get here. Outside of the 0z run yesterday, Gfs is still faster than euro/cmc. But running out of time for big wholesale changes. Minor shifts here and there won’t get it done for us
  15. I’d go with 8-12” i-95 and 12-18” west towards blue ridge and i-81. But this is specifically for DCA, so I voted 5-8” as a siting penalty
  16. Not really, contour lines show a neg tilted ridge over the west with an undercutting trough. This is how we usually get big storms. The +pna ridge usually builds behind the storm
