  1. A little bit. But who cares because 1. it's not a huge shift at all, and 2. it's the SREFs.
  2. Surface doesn’t quite do it. But it’s very close. One more shift and it’s basically the GFS.
  3. I’m not looking forward to making a first call on my page later today. GFS has over a foot, CMC/UKMET have just a couple inches, and who knows what the Euro will show. At this point I’m confident heavy snow makes it to the Delaware River…but how far will it get into PA?
  4. The initial wave isn’t from the IVT, it’s from the interaction of the northern and southern streams. The IVT only comes into play once the low starts to head well east. It actually mostly misses us on this run and slams York/Lancaster.
  5. Euro holds. Light to moderate event for all of us. We still have a window for a west trend and a big storm but if we don’t see it by 0z tomorrow night, it probably won’t happen.
  6. Euro looks like a hold to me pending the precip maps. It probably won’t be as good north of NYC but south of there it’s similar to 18z.
  7. I already don't trust the GFS. But if it fails with this storm again the government should just permanently retire it.
  8. Big positive trend on the 18z NAM and RRFS. Just another subtle step in the right direction at 0z and this suddenly starts to look very interesting.
  9. The rug pull was much harsher with that one. It went from a big storm to almost nothing in just a day or two. At least with this one we still have a decent chance at a light to moderate event as the phase happens.
  10. If all of JB's predictions came true everyone in the northeast would double or triple their yearly snow totals.
  11. Add the Euro to the “nuisance event” category. It just doesn’t want to budge.
  12. Not really. We have the ICON showing a nuisance event at best, the UKMET gives nobody anything more than flurries, and the NAM was going to end up pretty weak too. The models are split close to 50/50 right now on the outcome.
  13. If you’re comparing it to 12z it’s better. But 18z was overall better than the current run.
  14. 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.
  15. Tonight’s model scorecard so far: Big storm: GFS Plowable event: Canadian Nuisance event: ICON Miss/flurries: UKMET, probably the NAM
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Sun angle is much higher than in December which makes it feel warmer and more like spring. That’s my guess anyway.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Are we all just going to ignore the RGEM? End of the run looks decent and it would probably lead to something pretty juicy.
  23. The NAM did improve slightly at H5 but the surface is still complete dogshit.
