Ignore me! Read more, post less. [emoji6] Thought it was looking more like its AI component for a second… WxBell was releasing partial info from later in the run. Didn’t turn out as hoped.
Dangerous prognosticating from someone who doesn’t really know what he’s doing but I think the 12z EURO is gonna be a step in the right direction for us.
06z AI Euro shows the path to a successful Thurs/Friday. Surface is still too warm, but with the 850s I imagine this is snow. Pretty identical to its 00z run too. Slightly better timing allowing accumulations to start overnight could = success
One may solve the other a little bit but yes, a lot needs to go right here. I know I was still sorta in yesterday but I’m feeling out this morning. All in on Dec. 5th still though.
We gotta shove the track of the Thursday/Friday storm south, consensus is looking like a path that is unworkable for most of us beyond a thump for our very special favored friends.
Im heartened by the fact the CPC agrees with the models as per their outlook. I’d be disappointed to not get 1” on the ground in the next 3 weeks within the beltway. That’s my bar, which is fairly ambitious given recent Decembers.
Good news is we seem to be running ahead of schedule as far as that band pushing south, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Can maybe hold off a little bit of the temp rise and get more of us a shot at snow TV.
For better or worse I’m with @Ji lol. Knowing it “would’ve been” snow in 4 weeks doesn’t ease my concerns. Our odds are so low by default we gotta try and win whenever possible. No moral victories
