  1. There’s regular synoptic scale diffluence and then you get upper jetstreak dynamics where you get smaller scale divergence in the poleward exit and equatorward entrance region of the jetstreak. A lot of our bigger storms have 2 jetstreaks with their regions of divergence coupled together.
  2. From a PV thinking perspective…a big tightly curled PV anomaly digging through the carolinas. The diffluent area on the PV gradient sits right over the baroclinic zone…so yeah, you’d expect sfc pressure falls off the VA/NC coast which the GFS has. And yeah, I know you’re using a GEFS mean.
  3. I kinda like those trailing shortwaves closer this run…give it a bit of a kick north to keep it from spinning and rotting down south.
  4. Yeah it seems to be ampifying a tick west this run which should give us more time to pump the downstream ridging a little more. It’s still digging pretty far south though.
  5. 96 had good ridging out ahead of it. Here we have a PV lobe dropping south of us suppressing the flow and the vort digs and amplifies last minute over the Carolinas. It tries late to pump some ridging back our way, but there’s less wiggle room for pulling something off. But we’re still at the point where we can see significant changes at H5 that could drastically change the outcome so everything is still on the table.
  6. 96 had a much different look in the days preceding it’s approach up here than this system appears to have right now.
  7. Didn’t even notice another 0.2” on the board this morning. 0.2”/T 15.7”/1.01” final
  8. Moon visible now with flurries ending. Final core is 2.0”/0.05”….so that’s 6.3”/0.16” since I snowblowed this morning. Event total 15.5”/1.01”
  9. If you need to release some anger Sunday you can always slap Will Smith back.
  10. Driveway…it was just a packed thin layer of snow with a little fresh coating on top.
  11. Pure champagne powder today. It just has a different feel and sound to it when you pick up a shovel full and toss it.
  12. Soil 2 is 4” deep and Soil 3 is 8”. The ground is barely frozen. The soil moisture is at 6” and it reads 200cb when it freezes up.
  13. Yeah…for once it finally played out as I suspected. Love when the dendies fall in big pillowy clumps like this.
