I was NOT expecting to wake up to the EURO saying that we are back

CMC supports it fwiw, tho not quite as intense but similar idea. Has actually been very consistent.

GFS seems like it remains a no go

GFS looks like it wants to be done with winter entirely.

Literally thought the same thing. GFS straight up punts the next 16 days heading into March lol

hearing 6z euro says rain

[Heisy]

6z euro is warmer because the bowling ball is not in 50/50 esque location anymore.

Look at it vs cmc for example.

EPS also trended that way, more of a setup for NW now since confluence pattern isn’t ideal anymore (if it’s right)

Sounds like me and the GFS are on the same page.

See post above. Euro h5 track and phase is good, but the confluence pattern trended poorly unfortunately

I just don't think this one is going to do it. is there really any evidence for a snow storm?

Ensembles in this range over any OP. However, ensembles argue more for a Euro AI solution imo. I don't see this one cutting if that ridging on the 500 MB is legit over NE canada. Now with that you risk a sheared out mess or squash. Cold air is also marginal. I don't know, there's a lot going against it. Seems like blocking either eases up north and we rain or it doesn't and it's squashed south again. I'd rather it cut than be squashed tbh, there would definitely be flooding issues next weekend if something like the euro OP plays out.

Thoughts unchanged. This one will take a miracle to snow outside of n and w.

thanks. still trying to learn things here.

Today will be our mildest day since January 22nd with temps well into the 30's to near 40 degrees. Which in reality is not too far from average for the date. We chill back to near freezing for highs both Thursday and Friday before we turn a bit milder by the weekend. There is still some potential for snow toward Sunday evening as a couple models have moved a little closer toward that solution.

Look i know the GFS has been god awful... but i think something has to be said how it is the one model (i think) that is a consistent miss run after run

Its alone right now

[ChescoWx]

If an event was to happen I suspect with very marginal temperatures this very well could be an elevation driven event....

[Birds~69]

Ain’t going to lie., not  too thrilled About the future unless I’m missing something….

Winter grade as of now: B

36f

[ChescoWx]

Winter grade through today for a winter weather enthusiast a solid A IMHO.....Well below normal temps / above normal snowfall / record below 32 max streak / Top 20 consecutive snowcover streak
