  1. this has pretty much every box checked off synoptically: phasing trough over the OH Valley, decaying west based -NAO, huge, slow moving 50/50, and antecedent cold air just a matter of how it all comes together
  2. EPS has some retrograding Scandi ridging going on which is always nice when trying to reload a -NAO
  3. also this exact event is why people shouldn't fret over ENSO. some of you guys might have half of your yearly average by Jan 6 while north of 78 smokes cirrus as we're heading into a favorable pattern. I kinda love the irony
  4. yeah we just need to keep seeing that interaction. i thought the GFS was smoking crack but the EPS honking makes me feel better about it
  5. np! yeah you guys have the benefit of not being that worried about sleet. personally I would take the 3-6" of high ratio powder over 3-6" of sleety cement anyway. even with something like the ECMWF, you'd probably have ratios a bit over 10:1 in N MD with cold surface temps and good forcing aloft with the initial push. these soundings are cold
  6. you guys look to be in for it. this kind of system will favor significant FGEN and heavy snow... there are likely two maxima here: one with the 700mb FGEN that has higher ratios to the north, and another with the wicked 850mb FGEN near DC (there can be mixing issues, but you have the most precip). this 700mb FGEN initially is why I wouldn't be overly worried up north. temps are better too with lesser mixing concerns. overall, looking like a significant event for many in the DC area! enjoy
  7. definitely more of a phasing signal from the EPS over the last few runs as we enter its wheelhouse
  8. definitely more of a phasing signal from the EPS over the last few runs as we enter its wheelhouse
  9. pretty obvious trend towards more phasing here as we enter the EPS's wheelhouse
  10. this window around the 9-11th has been very synoptically favorable for a while now, so I don't think the bombed OP runs are just folly
  11. true. i'll take my chances with a decaying west based block and 50/50, that's usually what you need for a solid coastal. but yes, it's not airtight. pretty precarious setup
  12. EPS had a few stronger members as well. just a signal for now
  13. i think this window has a more mature pattern where the block isn't quite as oppressive... the 50/50 is in the spot it "should" be in, so the risk of completely squashing something is lower
  14. there has been a pretty well defined trend to get more of the southern stream involved
  15. UKMET was a pube away. everything else is there for the taking with this setup, just need the phase
  16. the overall synoptics are very favorable, just worried about the western ridge rolling over and trapping the SW vort in hell for a few days
  17. i don’t think anyone here wants any of that right now lmao
  18. EPS has some retrograding Scandi ridge action happening which is always nice
