  1. Just having the grass be covered in a below average temp January would be nice.
  2. During a Nina seeing those places all get skunked while DC and south clean up is beyond hysterical.
  3. It’s a fragile setup but there’s a low cap on what can happen with no phase. If no phase we have to hope for some Atlantic enhancement from the N stream system, that’s about it.
  4. Set expectations low in a winter like this and on the off chance something happens, appreciate it more. Mets have been posting how this pattern probably doesn’t support a major storm. Hopefully the 3-5” type event can happen.
  5. Wouldn’t take much more to get it to a 3-5” event especially from the city east. GFS was close but not quite there. Perfectly fine outcome for me.
  6. Maybe we can get the northern snow shield to beef up to make it a more 3-5” type event, the setup looks vigorous even without the big coastal low and there should be some decent Atlantic moisture incorporated.
  7. That will come without a doubt. Winter T-storms we can always count on now, any real snow enough to completely cover the grass when it’s cold enough for weeks, like pulling teeth. As soon as the warmth comes back, we can likely count on the cutters to come back or a SWFE that gives 6-10” to I-90 but some sleet to rain here.
  8. I do think we get something, it’s a potent upper air system/vort coming through which should at least spawn snow showers, but the models last night showed how fragile this setup is for anything bigger. Unless there’s a real step back today to something better, the snow showers outcome is what likely happens.
  9. Oh Tee Ess. DC now has double the season snow as our sites, might as well add ATL, CLT, ORF. Why not?
  10. I'd be happier with that than the 18z hour of snow to pouring rain to dryslot.
  11. Yep for sure. Verbatim there's still a lot of energy being left behind and the trough is positively tilted. If we can get that more consolidated and more neutral/negative tilt, then game on big time.
  12. If we see the bombing storm signal among more of the models tonight that's a good sign, then the question becomes does it make the turn or get immediately booted out.
  13. Not worried about it. I’m glad the models are moving towards a bigger storm in general.
  14. It’s drying up on radar and consolidating south over NJ. The flurries are nice but our accums are done.
  15. GFS is likely at the left goalpost with its aggressive fully phased solution and its on the left end of the GEFS but the blocking to the N/kicker to the west will have to do work to prevent a hugger with an outcome like that. If we really have a low riding almost due N ending up over Fire Island, that’s an inland favored outcome like 3/14/17. But at some point those factors pushing it east will take over and boot it out. Hopefully that would happen near the Delmarva and not Fire Island. Other models are much further east obviously but this seems like an all or nothing type outcome where we either have a phased bomb or unimpressive slider out to sea. It’s more likely of course we don’t have the coastal hugger but can’t say it’s not a possibility.
  16. Agree, let’s see if other models come on board. Still days away from locking into anything.
  17. Honestly if this full phase does happen we’ll be rooting on whatever kicker comes behind and hoping it gets shoved east in time to keep it from flip many of us to rain.
  18. Yup, I had about 15” last winter. Putrid but just off the bottom-most of the barrel 2022-23.
  19. Another reason I haven’t watched them in years.
  20. I will say we did better than I thought, that 700mb fronto area survived coming east of PA rather than get crushed ESE which is what models had. 0.5” ain’t saying much but better than 0 and it does look nice/wintry outside for a change which it should here on 1/6 when it’s cold enough.
  21. DC is just a snow hole in general. I’d hate to live there and expect a snowier outcome. And there’s always that weenie 700mb fronto area that likes to set up north of where models have. Even helped us to a small extent.
  22. Indeed, central PA did very well. State College might end up with 6”, I think they were supposed to get 2-3”.
  23. They aren’t done there yet, the ULL will probably add 1-3” more.
