And suddenly what looked to be a potentially golden 10-14 days with 1 chance after another is looking markedly meeker, bleeker, colder & drier. Never over till snow lady sings of course but strong signs r next 10 days wont be nearly as snowy as earlier indications.

I agree. The PV and +NAO are hurting our chances.

This sounds familiar. Oh wait that's because it is, does what happened a month ago ring a bell. You're going to have the cold, and you have the MJO and PNA in your favor so no it won't be cold and dry. It's unlikely we go through this upcoming period without getting at least one significant event.

It's a light snow event if we are lucky.

This pattern has insane potential the next 2 weeks Wednesday is not, and never was, a part of that.

never ? I suggest you review the various forums and NWS and other media outlets  from the last few days discussing Wednesdays potential

DAY 3...

...MID-ATLANTIC INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...

A FEW MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT
WILL DIG SOUTHEAST FROM THE MIDWEST ON TUESDAY AND CROSS THE OH
VALLEY AND NORTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY. THE HEIGHT FALLS WILL HELP
GENERATE AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE NC/SC BORDER TUESDAY
NIGHT WHICH SHOULD THEN LIFT NORTHEAST WELL OFFSHORE THE
MID-ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND ON WEDNESDAY. GIVEN SUFFICIENTLY COLD
THERMAL PROFILES...THE ANTICIPATED WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC
LIFT AND FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH SHOULD
GENERATE AN AREA OF LIGHT TO PERHAPS LOCALLY MODERATE SNOW ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ALONG WITH THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL THEN LIFT NORTHEAST
AND IMPACT ESPECIALLY COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
INCLUDING CAPE COD ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS A VERY LOW CONFIDENCE
FORECAST AT THIS TIME...BUT THE ECMWF MODEL ALONG WITH THE THREE
ENSEMBLE MEANS INCLUDING THE GEFS MEAN...ECENS MEAN AND SREF MEAN
SUPPORT SUFFICIENT QPF FOR THE THREAT OF AT LEAST A COUPLE INCHES
OF SNOW. THE DETERMINISTIC NAM...GFS AND UKMET MODELS WERE MUCH
DRIER. THEREFORE A LOW RISK OF 4 INCH AMOUNTS IS INDICATED FOR THE
MID-ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...EXCEPT FOR
CAPE COD WHERE A MODERATE RISK IS DENOTED AT THIS TIME.

THE PROBABILITY OF SIGNIFICANT ICING IS LESS THAN 10 PERCENT.

I will go all in .....think the qpf totals will improve the next 24hrs :arrowhead:

Maybe I missed something and I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I don't remember a single model run or discussion that made me think this was a major threat. 3-6" showed up for a bit on the Euro, but even that waned quickly with each successive run. Thw highest qpf was always south and east even on the most robust runs.

it wasn't a major threat ( 10 inches or more) just another one of those potential 3 - 8 or 9 inch snowfalls and many folks here and in the media were expecting it
