I really don't see how we make this setup work. The high is over West Virginia, and doesn't extend north into New England . The scenarios suppressed enough for snow all have weak sauce
That was a nasty dive. The ULL went north of STL, then still went over Jacksonville.
Edit so does the surface low. Forms near Wilmington then Drops south from 180 to 192, One of the most bizarre runs I've seen.
Euro is really really doesn't want to let the southern stream take on a negative tilt. It could have started phasing in the MS valley instead of over the Bahamas, but the southern stream keeps moving southeast and stays positively tilted.
Produces a very similar snow shield. The FEB 2010 storm had a 50/50 low much further west, and the ridge didn't fold over into the lakes like that. I'd give this one a more 2016/ 1983 hybrid look. It would easily close off H5 and match 2016 if the kicker was 12 hrs slower.
This thing really fizzled. Big win for DR NO and dry air. Some models from last night had warning criteria snow in a few spots. Now we're down to "Oh look flakes"
Kind of an odd wind trajectory. We had a storm like this in December 2013. It was rain for a lot of the metro area although the northwestern folks got snow.
