Got the same feeling. Once we're into January, assuming all guidance with the trough in the east holds, we'll stop high 5'ing each other because of raw hands.
Obviously not to be taken for face value, but the Gefs snowfall mean really jumped indicating that the Gefs suite is all in for snowfall unlike yesterday and before. But snowfall does not guarantee accumulating snow is the problem.
Yeah. Nam actually has me at snow starting at 37 and then drops me to 33. I did fine with similar temps back in a March 22 event...4"
But like Bubbler, would prefer colder. But you know what they say about beggars...don't waste your time looking for a handout from Mitchnick? NO! Can't be choosers!
Get used to it. This is going to be an inland winter thru mid to late January imho. The best part is we're far enough inland to get in on some of the goods, also mho. Wet snows are very common to strong or super (+2C) Niños as we are in now. Gotta wait until February, maybe late January if we're lucky, before we can expect a "cold" storm. Also imho.
Incredible how Nam and Euro are best. Shame DT's old E-E rule hasn't survived over the years with all those crummy updates. For those who may not know, E-E was when the Euro and Nam, formerly the ETA, were lock step, it was guaranteed per DT.
Yep. And the area the board covers is large. First time I wondered in was for the 12/20 storm. I was happy with my 6" before the sleet hit, but those to the west and north did soooo much better.
Anyway, 12z 3k Nam shows slp in central VA when it stops at 60 hrs.
That's what happens when you don't look at the snow maps. No way it verifies, but pretty to look at. Sorta odd that it kills the snow out west, as that's the only model doing that. But it doesn't develop the slp until coastal NJ, so the cold isn't drawn in and the precip cuts off.
Talking simply trends, 9z Sref had more snowfall than 3z and it's not because of the extra 6 hrs since there's more out west of us too where it clearly ended. That said, I'm not a big fan of the Srefs, but I am of trends.
Some/Most won't believe contrary views unless someone of like thinking says/agrees with it. Happens in more than just weather, which goes without saying.
