If the PNA ridge and tpv is like 150/200 miles west before it starts diving S this would have been 2016, 96 etc. absolutely brutal. Ain’t gonna lie though Sunday night and the 6z euro Ai/OP runs were some of the best in range fantasy runs in a while. Was fun for about 12 hours. We’ll have another threat in February. In fact I spoke to HM personally he’s thinking 2-3 more legit threats before end of year
Such a tight gradient on all the eps members etc because of how wound up the system is. I feel like we’d need a pretty large shift for this range to get the city in the goods, but I still think we can muster few inches if we get lucky
The GFS uses some of its initialization data from the prior runs 6hr forecast. When I saw the 6z gfs I had a feeling 12z run would do what it did. It takes a few cycles to purge itself. I feel like the cmc ensemble mean is a very realistic outcome, but eps is highly concerning. Anyway, going forward the next time period to keep an eye on is the 5th which grew some legs on the Ai & some other ensemble means today.
Thing is the northern stream is sitting in S Canada right now. It isn’t like this is energy coming off the PAC and poorly sampled. Not saying it can’t happen, but I don’t expect any type of giant shifts personally. I hope I’m wrong though.
So absolutely frustrating that literally all we needed was that TPV to stretch slightly farther W and we probably see a blizzard from VA to SNE. Still, rooting on folks in SE
Just this small amount of tilt changes everything. This is a hair pulling event because the potential is off the charts and just these small factors are fighting against it
Hey just an outsider (Philly) visiting,, just curious, I see you state it is bullish for DC-Boston but the snow map posted seemed generally light. Hopefully we all cash in. I don’t know anything about this new model heh.
Here is an h5 comparison of the 18z euro vs 6z to show what’s changed in 12 hours. In the grand scheme of things not a whole lot, but in an explosive redeveloping system like this every small change matters. I think one of the biggest changes is the 50/50 positioning.
Took me a while this morning, my side of street is where all the snow goes. Shoveled when the snow changed to sleet, this morning when I woke up I had like 2-4” on my sidewalk of just crust I could walk across without sinking in .
Yeah when the Ukie & Ai came out I had a feeling this would happen. Not throwing in the towel yet, if that bowling ball is farther N in latitude it still would work. The “what could have beens” are the hardest part of this hobby lol. Just a small change turned the euro from the Blizzard of 26 to OTS .
I wouldn’t definitively say that, there are eps members that tuck this into the Delmarva. Even into C PA. Not saying it’s likely, but not impossible. I guess you can say that for any event though lol .
That’s a good analog, what the euro is showing is honestly a once in a lifetime potential event. I’m that serious lol. Things usually screw us so I’m not going all in yet obviously, but that euro run was a blizzard for whoever stayed in ccb for duration. Blizzard of 26 literally. .
