  1. The EPS mean has the system reach it's peak at just the right time for a large swath of the population of this forum. It occludes as it moves further north but it is not a LBSW or LB anyway else. It maxes out at just the right time for most of you all.
  2. EPS Mean snowfall. But that overall looked like the best run for many of you in SNE yet. This panel is as good as it gets to be honest.
  3. What a day on the hill, but especially this morning. The best packed powder you'll ever find. For whatever reason, the wind was calm and the groomers did their thing... but it was pure velvet and dry snow this morning. So smooth. These are the mornings we live for.
  4. Who is this poster? Not calling for rains to Maine or a miss? Thought you’d had all the optimism beaten out of you this winter. Good to see old Kev back in.
  5. Can start here and go up from there if we need to.
  6. Was looking at forecasts near ALB and surprised how warm they are. The zones read like mainly rain in the valleys. Sunday Night... A chance of snow after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 32. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday... Rain, possibly mixed with snow. High near 38. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Monday Night... Rain, possibly mixed with snow. Low around 33. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
  7. That's amazing. Joe B. never stops going for shock value. A snow map in CMs .
  8. Looking at the individual EPS members, man a lot of those just absolutely smoke the Catskills. Pretty crazy probs for >24" of snow.
  9. Yeah, you want the explosive phase. Beyond that is banded and outward, but weakening lift.
  10. Isn’t there a difference though in the maturity of the system and location relative to it? If you are NE of the rapid deepening, it might be more banded as the wave of lift propagates outward. But the places northwest of the immediate deepening should see strong and widespread lift. A shield.
  11. Yeah looked better than I thought to be honest, hadn’t really been following this one.
  12. That's a tough forecast in your area given the ECMWF and GFS... vs the mesos. I'd be cautiously optimistic... could see 1-2" for you or 4.
  13. It's hard to believe we still need to say that. I figured we all understand exactly what the snow maps are, essentially frozen QPF maps with the decimal point moved over. You have to assume 1) the QPF is correct 2) the p-type is correct and 3) the temps/ratios are correct.
  14. No way the GEFS are going to produce the QPF of the OP run. If you find an ensemble mean of widespread 2"+ of QPF then you've really hit the jackpot on historical event. There'd be some like 5" QPF members mixed in to get a mean over 2".
  15. Haven’t seen the run but the fact many like it generally doesn’t bode well up here, lol.
  16. The downfall here is any solution at Day 5 is going to morph into something else most likely. Some variety of this, and we just hope the models are extrapolating the initial conditions as best they can. It is good theater though when the stakes are higher for a large population. Can go south, east, north, west. But climo nor’easter snow zones have highest probability by default. Interior SNE elevations into CNE. The ORH Hills were built for this stuff.
  17. I’d sign up immediately for 1” of frozen SWE on top of the current snowpack and hope you guys get 2-3”.
  18. The Winter Storm Warning calling for 6 - 8 feet of snow up high is absolutely bonkers. I can't stop looking at photos of the Lake Tahoe area south to Mammoth Lakes inhabited areas. Like legit 10 - 20 feet on the ground, where people live, and another 3-6 feet on the way, with 6-8 feet at the upper elevations of the ski areas.
  19. To be honestly, a blend of the two maps would likely be the snow forecast of that particular solution. 5" or 25", call it 15" and have a day.
