  1. I miss oceanstatewx insights with the NBM and its latest developments. Its not a bad source though I think it still has a quite a bit of room for improvement. I'm actually not entirely sure how it does with snowfall forecasts but I believe it can be a solid source because of its ability to bias correct
  2. Only mixing between Sunday and Monday will be Bacardi with coke
  3. It is feasible the immediate shore does experience some mixing. This is where its much better to look at forecast soundings then fixed levels (such as 850 or 700). You can get very sneaky, subtle warm layers. There are also other processes to consider as well, for example, if there is a tremendous amount of latent heat release ongoing that can negatively impact snow growth production and result in poor enough snowgrowth that precip is almost sleet like. I believe something like that happened in 2013?
  4. Given the airmass, the trend could actually be a significant benefit to us, at least on the mesoscale level when it comes time to pinning down banding and what the potential amounts may be
  5. Oh wow look outside and a nice, steady snow falling
  6. All the details and such can be ironed out as we get closer but there is a ton to be excited and happy about at this time range. There is going to be no shortage of moisture with this and if we can get the final evolution to be very close to what the general consensus is, it's going to be a big hit over a very large area - obviously there will be mesoscale factors at play which result in some getting "screwed" and some "overperforming" but lets keep this signal for a powerhouse of WAA feeding into the airmass that will be in place, and with the thermal profile and temperature gradient (upward) velocities would be great over the entire area
  7. Went to the AMS in Austin in 2018 and we got stuck in Austin for an extra two days because our flight got cancelled for wintry precip. The whole town of Austin was virtually shut down...not a single car on the road. They legit got like 2 second of sleet haha. Missed the first two days of the spring semester.
  8. I see it now...I looked further ahead to Sunday with I guess if you want to call it the second wave
  9. Wow I'm shocked to see Winter Storm Watch as far south as Houston (looks like for ice)...I don't see anything indicating they will get icing that far south. I know that far south it takes like 3 drops of frozen liquid but very odd
  10. Right Probably something you'd see in like central Alaska lol
  11. Ahh this makes sense. I hate how products are limited on weathermodels but my initial thinking was whether the 12z Euro was like occluding things a bit quicker the way it was kind of tapering down the QPF towards the end.
  12. Any mixing issues would probably be more towards the end of the storm...I don't think mixing would be an issue during the bulk
  13. 1-1.5" of QPF in that airmass, especially if you're maximizing lift is going to produce some significant snowfall accumulations. That would certainly be high end...unless we're using something like 2-3 feet to define high end lol
  14. I've noticed the euro has been a bit late the past several days (at least on weathermodels). Even the 12z GFS bufkit was late on pennstate today
  15. Verbatim on the GFS I think you would see a major band well up to the Mass Pike. Imagine if we were to pop at 700 low...damn
  16. dendrite should just create an algorithm that blocks the posting of snow maps
  17. I would also have to think too that processes involved in the evolution of this whole system across the southern states and across the East would end up far outweighing any influence of the MJO. I actually can't wait because this very subject is on the agenda in my advanced forecasting class
  18. Interesting how the HRRR is a bit aggressive with some snow squalls tomorrow. Not sure we have enough moisture to generate anything but the environment is conducive so if anything were to pop they could be quite hefty with maybe even some lightning
  19. Crazy...looks like they dropped like 5 degrees around 4-5. Gotta love these nights with clear skies and HP
  20. Was looking around at some overnight lows last night and saw ABE put up a -9 lol...no way that can be right?
