It wasn't there at 18z and it's gone on the 6z. So we have 1 random run. Once I see it with some consistency across the modeling, then I get excited. That's just me.
Problem I have with those "patterns" is that there's no evidence from the operational or the ensemble themselves that they will give is snow. Maybe it's too early for that, I don't know, but I can't excited until I do.
On another note, we really need to score with this and thru the next 2 weeks because we are dealing with some ugly ensembles at the end of their forecast period.
I am right on the southern edge to the wsw of the 7.8" total but something tells me I won't be getting the same amount of snow as that 7.8" snow amount location in northern NJ. Lol
