The NAMs nailed the Jan. 2016 storm impacting NYC at like 48hrs out when nothing else had it. Consider this that but on a much more modest impact level
I see that - still think it’s possible which is why I was defending that map as not insane. If I was making a map right now I’d have DC in the 1-2” range with RIC 4-8”… some iso 8-12” on the VA/delmarva beaches
It’s the GFS/EURO with a 50mi NW jump. I don’t think it’s insane. I was looking at the GFS and thinking that in a normal winter I’d be okay with where it’s at 3 days out. With the strengthening confluence and seasonal trend tho I imagine we’re toasted tho think 2-4” is salvageable for dc metro
@psuhoffmangenuinely, massive respect for going down with an apparently sinking ship. Appreciate your commitment to the meteorology and “modelogy” and trying to make sense of it.
Confluence is one of those things that could plausibly weaken toward game time… we’ve lost storms north that way. Obviously not that helpful to see things trending the other way though
Considered never done it - I’d get a hotel just because I feel like they are more responsible for shoveling out their parking. If you have a better car for the snow, may not matter.
