Last frame of 0z Euro. That low down south near GA/FL looks to have room to go toward WV.

With that low scooting into the lakes and the trough positively tilted, I suspect it would head towards the MA coast. But having all those players on the field 10 days out is all that counts. Lots of subtle timing issues could make huge differences. Euro ens should be interesting.

ILN liking snow shower potential on Monday even mentioning squalls. Columbus might beat its record by just a couple of days.

The day 9-10 'storm' is now replaced with an overwhelming cold push on the 00z euro...  and now the gfs has lost it too.   After we get that rainstorm late this week, the 5h pattern really blows for winter storms effecting the sub, if the most recent models runs are correct. For those who wanted cold....congrats, that part looks good.

Well at least we'll break that record after today. Now back to your regularly scheduled winter of warm & wet, cold & dry......

yea, at least we have the futility record going for us lol.   I'm not totally giving up on the day 8-10 stuff, but definitely took a huge leap backwards in the latest model runs.

Maybe we can get under a decent fetch on Monday and finally whiten the ground.

Not that long ago, everyone was saying that it was looking totally dry the first few weeks of January, now there are at least some things going on.  And the cold is here.  For the record, January is looking to end up 15-20 degrees colder than December.  Could end up solidly below normal if things progress as currently shown.  As long as it is cold, there's a good chance we'll see accumulating snows.  There's no guarantee it will be a ton of snow, and I still would bet that this winter ends up with a below normal total, but at least now it CAN snow.

Really disheartening to see that fantasy storm system around next weekend fade away and be replaced by yet another 276+ hour event.   Maybe it was a model hiccup and the king will bring it back today.

All models have been all over the place with this. Its way to early to give up on it.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
A SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL BE SITUATED ALONG THE I-71 CORRIDOR AND
QUICKLY CROSS THE REST OF FORECAST AREA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THE
COLD RUSH OF AIR WILL LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY A SIGNIFICANT
STRATOCU CLOUD DECK. WITH THE WARM WATER IN THE GREAT LAKES...SNOW
BANDS OFF OF ALL OF THEM WILL SET UP BY EVENING AS AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH DIGS AND FLOW BECOMES MORE FAVORABLE WITH A NICE FETCH OFF
OF LAKE MICHIGAN. THIS FLOW WILL BE MORE PRONOUNCED OVERNIGHT AS
THE TROUGH STRENGTHENS ITS ORIENTATION SW-NE AND DEEP CYCLONIC
FLOW MATCHES THE CURVATURE OF LAKE MICHIGAN. SNOW SQUALLS WITH
MODERATE TO HEAVY BANDS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING A QUICK HALF INCH
OF SNOW TO JUST ABOUT ANY AREA OVERNIGHT...PEAKING BY DAYBREAK
MONDAY. USED AREAL COVERAGE FOR SNOW SHOWERS DURING THIS TIME AS
EVERYONE WILL SEE SOME SCATTERED SNOW ACTIVITY BUT THE HEAVIEST
THREAT FOR ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR WHERE THE LAKE EFFECT BANDS
SET UP. DO NOT EXPECT MORE THAN 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH IN MOST LOCATIONS
BUT BRIEF WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. IF BANDING DOES NOT BECOME PROGRESSIVE...HIGHER AMOUNTS
IN THE DAYTON-CINCY CORRIDOR ARE POSSIBLE
.


THE H5 TROUGH STRENGTHENS AND DIGS SOUTH OF THE AREA BY 18Z AND
FLOW TURNS NORTHERLY...EFFECTIVELY SHUTTING OFF LAKE ENHANCE BANDS
WITH A POSSIBLE EXCEPTION IN CENTRAL OHIO. ATTM...DO NOT FEEL THAT
THE HURON/WESTERN LERI FETCH WILL BE THAT ACTIVE AS THE TROUGH OF
THE COLD AIR AT H850 WILL BE THROUGH OHIO AND RELATIVE WARM
ADVECTION AT AT THIS LEVEL WILL HAMPER THE CONVECTIVE PROCESSES
NEEDED TO BRING SNOW DUE SOUTH TO AFFECT CENTRAL OHIO.

Yep same here for today. Did you not get much of anything from the burst of snow on the evening of December 2? Got about 1/4" here from that.

No, next to nothing on that one down in Bellbrook, but I work near the base and there was close to an inch there (near the Fairfield mall). I figure that's why DAY recorded 2 tenths.

Good news is the 0z GFS has a GOM low. Bad news is that it crosses florida, rides up the coast and turns into a major storm. Good news is its east of us at this point with plenty of time to shift west.

 

962 off cape cod  :lmao:    Although there is also a low over the great lakes so much of big cities see rain...

0z Euro joins in on the fun. Hour 168 has about a 1004 mb low around New Orleans then at 192 has about a 994 over east North Carolina. Like where we sit right now.

 

unfortunately zero ensemble support.   The gfs has a major snow storm for us at hour 240,   the ggem is sticking to the weaker further north solution around day 8, and now the euro op has that big coastal day 9.     Needless to say model mayhem.   Probably won't get a consensus for next weekend for a couple days yet.

That 6z GFS was a thing of beauty. Difference from the 0z is that the storm before it didn't hang around the GLs which I think is what allows the big one to come farther west.
