yup...since I moved up here December 2014, it seems to be the case.

Nah, I wouldnt worry here. I just had time to look at the euro on meteocentre, which can be a bit better than TT for it, and it deff moved in the right direction from 0z. We wouldnt want gfs huggy solution either, though it isnt bad. So if we can get the two to move to each other, which I believe is a pretty decent bet at 4 days out....we got it. Even if we hedge euro 70/30 to gfs, that is a ridiculous endgame. Yes, if you look at weenie map printouts from the euro run it seems like they are stealing our snow but I would not sweat those maps yet, or even at all.

No one should be worrying about anything right now for this one either way, There is still going to be fluctuations with the OP runs, The Ensembles are holding steady i would be placing positives in that.

both eps and gefs have been rock solid, have not wavered. 12z gefs were east of op too which is good for the rain worriers. I mean, at this juncture, it is getting silly with it.

Good, Some of us do have lives outside AMWX...............lol

LOL.

Thanks for reaching out folks--it's nice to be missed.  All is okay.  I've been swamped of late and have been able to do little more than look at the NWS forecast recently.  I managed to have a work-from-home-day today.  It seems like the first in a long time that I haven't been driving to Boston.   I have been able to lurk a little over the last couple days, and I hear a rumor we may get a little snow next week.....I'll keep my fingers crossed we do better than the 4 flakes I saw today.

 

Of course, now I wonder where I may be better off:  Pit1 or Pit2.  I'm inclined to think here at this point, but if this ends up being an eastern special with wind, I might need to find an excuse to go up there.

 

Thanks for checking in on me.  I feel like the great aunt that you needed the police to make a 'well-being' visit to.

 

29/16 clearing.  4 flakes down.

Oh i know...No worries here, just nice to see this threat at the 4 day point and still on all of the models. I will be happy with a foot of wind driven snow in the middle of March. However, deep down I would be upset missing out on an extra foot 100 miles to the east....

Could be bigger than even the Tuesday storm?

Well considering Tues hasn't happened yet...sure it could. But as modeled, it is not nearly impressive as Tuesday's. It is still a very good sig this far out though for a mean.

I dunno .. the targeted ignoring seems to be pretty evident in here. 

That Euro synoptic evolution, while certainly not impossible... is waaaaay less than that which should be instilling any confidence whatsoever. 

That's a hugely complex handling there, of dumbbelling those U/A features, while simultaneously using convective/cyclogenic feed-backs to deepen the lead like that... That is incredibly fraught with reasons not to be confident, actually.   

I can just see this thing turning into some for or another of a major anti-climatic disappointment, and people acting surprised ...  just don't be if that's the case.

Jan 15 haunts me, I admit. Maybe why I still harbour ill will to the euro like an abuse victim. Point is, it is not perfect so anyone that latches onto it, even inside 48hrs can get stucked into the blackhole. I learned my lesson with that one and while the ghost follows me around from Dec to Mar, I know how to better deal with it nowadays.

It's funny how we were pretty meh for a lot of the winter and now this happens.  March 1956 sounds like a good analog for multiple events to track and it was a la nina.  March 1958 perhaps also, although that was an el nino.  Although with what the Euro is showing in terms of totals and wind, a more appropriate analog for the next storm might be March 1960 lol.

And that right there is telling enough to know that this is more then likely coming, Now, Its just a matter of seeing what direction the mean moves as to what side the members are favoring which will give you the indication of track until we get in OP range.

Someone will always be disappointed though, right? Anyway, what are your concerns? mucked up phasing? too much causing an inland runner? What would you weigh more at this point?

Well I say it's time to have a Panic Party!

Panic that the whole I 95 corridor shuts down and Vlad parachutes into DC with a million Russki marines in winter whites

Panic that my supermarket runs out of milk before I get to it

Panic that this things whiffs

Panic that it runs up the Hudson Valley

Panic that its a mega blizzard and the huge old maple outside my study crashes in on my while I'm typing in temperatures Celsius and measurements in cm to tick the English measurement crew off...

So much to panic about and only 4 days left!

That was convenient.

 

I'm heading up to Bath tomorrow.  The last time I was there there were 3 feet of snow on the ground.   What a difference a couple weeks will have made.

well... what I'm concerned about is what I just said; that handling of those two mid level features is exceptionally complex; it's an odd sort of total evolution as I pointed out, and at day 5+ it's not in the euro's wheelhouse (btw -) 

my biggest "fear" (for lack of better word) ... is that the N-stream comes bullying down to subsume/phases more ..but, because the wave length argument is in fact position westerly biased, it takes advantage of that and results in one of those hooks left into the upper cordillera of the Apps.  That's how those types happen... This Euro run just fails capture.. If does, this idea is in trouble.  guys -

This run is just lucky really... seriously, in that it keeps the N-stream sort of out of the way while the southerly wave goes mad along the EC and rides up like a cometary trajectory ..on up and out... then, the N-stream's core comes sort of lollygagging through on as a caboose consideration.  Norlun  - ...I mean wow, there's other things... What if we got a light to midland fast mover, followed by a 12" of fluffy norlun thump...  oh m g the possibilites..

Frankly, ... though the time distance makes almost irrelevant, the latter system actually is the one with the far better wave spacing.

A couple of years ago, one of the elder statesmen at our golf course was killed cutting down a big maple tree.  He was 85.  I could see that being MPM, if he doesn't accidentally get strangled by his shawl.
