It was a nice snow burst whitening the ground earlier but now a memory.

Always a thrill to see opening best rates of the season, though only for about 3 minutes… 

We’ll have our chances… this alone looks like it should bring much better results at surface than it actually has, and can tweak significantly better with time:

Pretty Nice ridge placement there out west.

Heights still a bit compreassed there....probably why is struggles to coalesce.

If I didn’t know any better I’d be expecting a regionwide 8-12” out of this.

18Z GFS coming in weak and south for the 12th.

This bowling ball looks intriguing.

That’s a big focus there. Gfs looking like Euro more now with that second disturbance.

yeah, talk about dynamic. you have an actual ridge in the west, too. stout

[ORH_wxman]

Might be a nuke this run. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Powder keg setup there.

Nijad me

Didn’t somebody just say it was weak?

Focused on wrong s/w. There are multiple s/w in the flow, it’s a matter of which one or ones may trigger something for us.

First shortwave on 12/12. The second one for 12/13-14 is the nuke. 

[WinterWolf]

Thank you Bob and Will. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

What a wild setup. That low wants to escape east but it gets pulled back in and goes ballistic.

[CoastalWx]

The second s/w looks like a piece of the PV.

[ineedsnow]

We Nuke!

[ineedsnow]

just a bit east but that's a nice setup

[ORH_wxman]

Anyways. Def potential there. Good to see an OP run blow it up nicely. It’s been showing up on a decent number of ensemble members the last couple days. 

[brooklynwx99]

west based blocking decaying around that time also argues for a storm popping up

If that happened verbatim, I might need to chase that in Yarmouth, lol. That looks like a grid collapser on the Cape.

Yeah, if you trace it back, it breaks off from the PV in BC and dive south and east.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Digging trends over the last 24hr out west. Bodes well downstream for something to pop.

Amplifying ridge over west coast plus a decaying -NAO block near Hudson/Baffin and already a cold antecedent airmass equals good things happening for us usually. 
 

I think this one will be on the models quite a bit over the next couple days…let’s get the signal even stronger.

Lol…here we go again…hope west doesn’t gets boned if this somehow materializes.  Trapped and pulled back is always precarious for the area.
