There is definitely a strong signal that the day 10-15 period in general is a threat but the GEFS isn't locked in on one specific event. There are several waves in that time period. The one around the 30th really isn't looking good. Most are rain. There is a better hit rate with the next 2 waves around the 1/2 and 3/4 but a LOT of the snowfall on the mean is from a couple HUGE hits on the ensemble. There are then a lot of minor events where we get some snow on the front end before a chance to rain. Then some total misses...not a large percentage actually showing a big hit yet. I think we could score something as the pattern establishes but we all know that often we do better later once the pattern matures. So it wouldn't surprise me if we have to wait a little into January before we score...but I like everything I am seeing right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of them are definitely the snow output on WxBell being funky though, counting sleet/frza. Ah ok. I thought mean was already like 3-4” for that period on the GEFS.

LP08 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Euro takes a nice track for the storm on the 30th. Honestly, there are so many SWs that its going to be tough to feel confident in any solution. Seems like a safe bet that there will be a storm near us in that time frame.

WxUSAF Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Actually wait, euro still has light snow for Christmas evening for MD! Seems totally on its own there but I’ll hug the sh-t out of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else can we do besides obsess over weather. I opened my 401K account and that was an anchored 582dm ridge centered over the the region.

And it wasn't awful, could still head in the right direction, but it wasn't a positive step for sure. On the whole things still look good.
