December Medium/Long Range Discussion

 The models make as much sense as the Ravens play calling lol

If the WB 12Z Euro comes anywhere near verifying, the metro area can have the next two storms;  

Where do I sign up for my 2 feet lol

18z gfs deciding to take the low into wv and warm af. It’s on its own island right now.

Yep

All other models shift south, gfs shifts to rain even for most of Pa lol

If Frederick gets 21 and I get 4, I might go old school Ji in here.

12Z Euro had the low scooting off the coast at Myrtle Beach.  GFS keeps parking a 998 over Nanticoke, MD.

Maybe tomorrow we can get a better idea about Tuesday.

With the volatility of guidance right now I think we’ll have a good idea about what happens after it happens

Terpeast probably was worried he was going to have to eat his shoe so he's happy that this run of the gfs is the final solution

Yeah. That would be game over for everyone. Is what it is.

Decided to bike in this nonsense and was treated to a light flurry while I was pumping air in my tires. This might be the year.

Edit: Was supposed to go in Obs.

Looks like serious taint if I am being honest.

Will this remain the odd one out or will all the other models cave to this over the next 40 hours?

By "Old School" do you mean 8 months ago?

A fundamental problem that has been pretty persistent on all model simulations is HP to the north exiting stage right as the storm approaches. That's complete death for snow chances for lower elevations/coastal plain at our latitude esp in early Dec. Places well inland and further north should see some frozen initially depending on the amplitude of the shortwave trough and exact track of the surface low.

Euro was pretty bad last year if we are being honest. This will be the first time this season we get to do some model comparisons. My WAG is we get a small thump to slop. More North and west obviously. When all else fails just go with climo.

Now it is. Wont be in 6 weeks. I dont hate a HP off of the NE when the ocean is 38 degrees. Out here at least.
