  1. If you’re comparing it to 12z it’s better. But 18z was overall better than the current run.
  2. It started off better but that piece of energy over the great lakes ended up farther south which doesn’t allow for the amplification we need to have this thing climb the coast.
  3. Tonight’s model scorecard so far: Big storm: GFS Plowable event: Canadian Nuisance event: ICON Miss/flurries: UKMET, probably the NAM
  4. Well the GFS certainly isn't backing down. 1-2 feet south of Philly, 6-12" up to the Lehigh Valley. Not really buying it right now but it's nice to at least have a shred of hope remaining.
  5. I think our best bet is with the inverted trough feature that most models are picking up on. The ICON showed a region-wide 1-3” from it. We’ll see what the other models do.
  6. Sun angle is much higher than in December which makes it feel warmer and more like spring. That’s my guess anyway.
  7. It’s crazy how so many people are always surprised when it snows well into March. Yes it’s not meteorological winter anymore, but historically it’s a snowier month than December.
  8. 18z Euro doesn’t give us what we want but it improved quite a bit over 12z at both H5 and the surface. Tonight’s 0z runs will be very interesting.
  9. 18z GFS got better too. Only 18z model that's a dud so far is the NAM, and it still improved at H5. Interested to see what the Euro does. I don't expect it to be a hit, but I'd welcome any improvements.
  10. Are we all just going to ignore the RGEM? End of the run looks decent and it would probably lead to something pretty juicy.
  11. The NAM did improve slightly at H5 but the surface is still complete dogshit.
  12. Euro misses with the IVT too. Worst case scenario for the subforum.
  13. Well now the regular Euro is out and it is indeed trash. Not sure about any precip from the IVT since those maps aren’t out yet, but the coastal misses by hundreds of miles.
  14. We also need Friday’s storm to get out of the way to allow heights to rise on the east coast. Otherwise even a very amplified system is staying mostly south of PA.
  15. 18z GFS reminds me a lot of Boxing Day 2010. A storm that was so painfully close in eastern PA.
  16. We’re not in a bad spot at the moment. Would prefer if the trends at 18z don’t continue at 0z though.
  17. Not surprising with the convoluted upper air setup in Canada. Nothing will be nailed down until tomorrow night or early Thursday.
  18. ICON isn’t like 12z at all but it shouldn’t be a nothingburger like the Euro was.
  19. That storm started on a Sunday afternoon and didn’t fully end till Wednesday morning. It was like 6 inches on Sunday, 15 inches on Monday, and the rest on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think the total at ABE airport was about 2 feet. One of our greatest storms of all time.
  20. Still have the RGEM run saved where it printed out 4-5 feet for the Lehigh Valley.
  21. DT has some kind of weird love affair with that model. Every forecast he puts out essentially mirrors what it shows.
  22. The GFS/GEFS were consistently too far south and east with the storm 3 weeks ago.
  23. The sun angle is doing work this week. There is a bare spot in my yard, first actual grass I’ve seen in about a month. Snowpack is now dwindling by about an inch or two per day.
