Waiting for the Euro/anything else to jump on. What a tough forecast.
-
Hey-we all know how bad the Tidewater’s been lacking and how much they need another one while we get cirrus.
-
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.
-
I don’t like seeing the 10 trillion little vortmaxes ahead of the trough as well. Those spawn convection and string our storm out. We need for a main vortmax to consolidate.
-
Gun to my head I’d say graze at this point. It’s not really an ideal setup for major snow-ridge is too far east and the block looks like it wants to suppress it too much. I’d want other models to jump on with major snow starting today.
-
Definitely a good trend but it occludes before it really hits our area so we don’t get the goods S NJ does. The storm is starting to wind down by then.
-
A lot of patchy coverage on lawns especially that get sun during the day. Upper 30s and fog is where you start really doing a number on the snowpack.
-
When you see the maps on social media people are hyping up, that’s nothing.
-
We’ve gotten snow but from storms that typically don’t favor us like the super SWFE on 1/25 and the clippers. Our bigger ticket storm types have failed just like last winter and ever since Jan 2022. We lucked out for once getting non-coastal storm snow.
-
Maybe this one is different but flat as a pancake fits the tenor of this winter for any coastal storm.
-
The block is crushing it south and the ridge axis is a little too far east for us. Can these change yes, but these are two big factors that would squelch any major storm chance.
