87storms

Chasing is tempting.

There’s no “easy” way, but having a gulf that’s available for overrunning is the “best” way.

I’m getting very interested in the pattern next week. Ensembles are intriguing. Seems like a potentially more normal way of getting snow.

Temps in the 30s might feel like a thaw by next week.

The cold to snow ratio this winter has been less than ideal.

Any idea of when the February thaw arrives?

Snow on snow would look cool even if it’s 1-3”, but it ain’t lookin’ good right now.

Cliff notes…congrats Newfoundland.

The sooner it happens the better lol

Why is it so hard to get a snowstorm when temps are in the teens that doesn’t flip to sleet for the majority of it lol. We’re the most faux snowtown ever.

Our total offensive yards are there…but our point total is lacking.

We are who we thought we were.

We might need a 950 low to get moisture back to Frederick with so much dry air in place: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=ecmwf&region=us&pkg=Td2m&runtime=2026012806&fh=99

Biggest issue I see is the lack of a return flow out of the gulf ahead of this system. Not really sure a north trend of the ull will accomplish much aside from being a clean clipper unless we get some kind of a norlun trough involved. The best runs were mostly throwing moisture back from the Atlantic…which would be awesome but basically requires bombogenesis.

Glad I did not stay up for the 0z suite. Definitely a classic “too many things need to go right” type of system, at least for mby. Coastal areas are a different story.
