NYE looks like a repeat of Christmas Eve

I’ll take the Euro OP’s depiction over the GFS, please.  Pops a low on the southern part of the front and keeps the mountains frozen.  That depiction would keep western areas outside the mountains in the game for frozen too vs the GFS cold chasing precip front setup.

Many are looking past NYD time period and I personally  waiting at least a  couple more days.  

Oh. Yea. Patience is important. 100 times better than last year though.  If blocking continues to show up top we will should have our chances.

A few runs from time to time has shown a low developing enough south of us to deliver some snow after the initial rain. Hoping that starts showing up again on future runs.

Yeah, unfortunately the EPS wasn’t biting on the OP’s idea.  I counted a handful of solutions that suggested something even close to what the OP was depicting.

Shame it is way out there but as many have already stated...patience. This year is different with the NAO/AO looks and the AO has already established itself in negative and the NAO is in short range now. This is not a bad look AT ALL:

If we can get the PAC to look even remotely close to that we will be in business.

And that storm wasn’t even there in the prior run

There was always a longwave passage about that time. Exactly how the short waves within the flow behaved was all over the place. A shotgun of cutter, sheared out, fish storm, suppressed...so there was no clear signal other then at h5

Two big hits, one moderate hit 18Z GEFS, let’s see if those 10 percent odds improve over the next week...

You’re being a little harsh. 2 big hits. 1 moderate hit. 3 minor snowfalls. 2 misses just to the NW.  2 misses just to the southeast or east.  At that range that’s about all you’re ever going to see.  The signal for a storm in that period is there.  The odds of it being a big snow are maybe only 10%.  But the odds of a warning snow snow in DC on any random day during January is less then 1% so 10% is a signal that there is a chance there. Maybe only a 10% but all of our eventual snow starts as a low probability when it’s in the long range. And 90% will never amount to anything. But 10% will.

Looks good.  Just has to hold for 8 more days.  

What could go wrong?  Let’s see what the GEFS says but you could see the evolution just on H5 and it was screaming east coast threat.  The closed 500 low north of MN was atypical for this area to see snow (I think) but DC got digital snow so who cares!
