Nah, but it's a nice lil event for the area.  Wetter than 6z, SW central va gets a good hit.  Lil 100mb low off the Carolina coast but slipping just south and east of us.  Wouldn't take much more to get us a decent event up here.

Very close, at least we have some pre Christmas potential, that is more than we can say a lot of years.

Damn 100mb low I didn't know day after tomorrow was a work of nonfiction! That said this is a great look imo for within a week!

Dec 2018-esque

If the snow stopped at the Potomac like 12z gfs shows, I’d get pretty ragey…

CMC made a substantial shift north with the Friday event. It still isn't close enough for anyone on this forum, but it's only about 100 miles away from a hit versus 400 miles

Yup.  Shitty snow maps on SV shows the good stuff hits a wall almost at the potomac

It just hits a fooking wall just like Dec 2018!

edit: 250 mb jet dynamics look poor, that's probably why.

Yeah, Shitty SV maps show the same thing.  Hits a wall

[TSSN+]

H5 looks pretty nice. We may see some crazy runs coming up if it keeps showing something similar.

One of my favorite storms. Need Dec 2018 about 50-75 further North and it's a win. Something going to be goldilocks here soon....

December 8-9 would match 2018 to the day too.....

A little neg ao/nao goes a long way. Closed ridge over GL and closed low over NF is a pretty classic way to get something to work in the MA/SE. Especially in my hood.

[WxUSAF]

GGEM closer to something early next week as well.

That's a nice bump from 3.7 to 8.8".

Friday evening "event" still there on the 12z UKIE... more for BR eastward into S MD and C VA tbh though

Not bad and close to a decent bit better. Think I'd rather be @Bob Chillright now but think we're still in the game.

Since I'm procrastinating studying I'll have an updated analysis on this Friday out soon. Interestingly, it looks like the main way the NAM scores is through shortwave one instead of shortwave three as it was shown a day ago.

I’m liking this trend, we may have something here

UKIE not buying the 12z GFS idea for Monday though

You know these maps aren't real they still invoke annoyance remembering the nina snowholes and such.

[mitchnick]

Just remember that the 12z Gfs showed this snowfall that was supposed to fall today after 7am. South of Harrisburg was pretty much a bust and York got 95%+ rain according to a York poster vs the 3.6" the Gfs forecasted.

Dang...that must've been a heck of a warm nose, I'm guessing?

On the NYC forum they found runs showing rain all the way up to Kingston.
