Mar 2017 was the second worst bust where I live other than Mar 2001, maybe even actually worse. 12”+ predicted, ended up 4” maybe all washed away by the end. Utterly horrendous. Other than that disaster 16-17 was actually a decent winter.

Very fragile setup like others are saying with a ton of pieces to work out. Could easily go a couple hundred miles back east. But there’s a way for the pieces to come together for a big hit-a phase in the right place, the confluence easing a little and enough ridging ahead of it to allow for a tucked in track. And enough wave spacing to have our storm with enough room to consolidate into a major nor’easter.

Good signs at 18z for sure, if 0z doubles down and adds support from the GGEM it’ll be reason for real optimism.

But hey we still have the inverted trough that may/may not happen and if it does probably hits west of us. Yaaaay

When one of these sets up consistently within 100 hours as a threat and doesn’t have 70 billion shortwaves flying around to mess it up and string the whole trough out, let me know.

Awesome. Out with the cold if there won’t be snow.

They’ve all been for the past 3+ years and the fails keep piling up way faster than the blown 10-20” calls.

He’s a joke. It still works for him to get the clicks and subscriptions?

Just has that theme of 700 cooks in the kitchen which overall ruin the setup and cause it to fail to consolidate or amplify in time. One or two get better, one or two get worse. We need to stop having these over convoluted setups with a vortmax/piece of energy within 2 inches of the next one. That’s been the theme of every one of these setups since Jan 2022, and even that one dealt with convective issues which prevented it from consolidating in time for a major impact in NYC.

I’d bet against 36” of snow in DC but hey… that’s just me.

Yeah, that ain’t gonna do it. If the Euro comes in flat again I think the fat lady starts warming up.

Yep, if this misses-onto spring. I’m done with the teases, minor events gone in a day and black ice piles in the parking lots.

It occludes and stacks before it really gets up here lol.

I’d say graze is the most likely outcome at the moment, maybe low advisory level stat padder type event but for something bigger we need more consistent NW bumps, not wishy washy that then goes back SE next run.

They do usually move east over time but sometimes they never happen at all. Probably the least predictable of the different features.
