IMO, people are getting overly excited. Something maybe but some of these ridiculous total are just way far fetched. I'll be happy w/a solid 6" storm and then some cold...
44F 
 
Agreed. Its hard not to get excited with these insane solutions but like you said, it's even harder to get a storm of that magnitude in these parts. We fall for it time and time again. Especially this winter when models are struggling even inside 5 days.

Not to mention we haven't been in the type of pattern that is conducive of big wrapped up lp's climbing the east coast. Almost everything trends more flat, strung out, and suppressed recently.

I hope im wrong. I just can't forget the numerous head fake insane snow maps 5 days out just to watch it fizzle out to another "storm that was so close."

My top analog is 2/26/2010. Feels like a last hurrah (after a brief warm-up), and I think this will miss just north, with NYC having a historic snowstorm, while PHL gets 4-6 inches, and BWI/DCA gets close to nothing, as the winter is pretty much over in those cities.

23” with 50 mph winds out of the west with snow 2” an hour February 10th 2010.  It was a MONSTER!! Never have I seen 50 mph winds out of the west with 2” hour rates for 2 hours straight a really crazy storm.  It looked like a huyricsnd hurricane east of Ocean City Maryland.

Yes, we’ve know the flavor of this winter and how the models are handling it for awhile now.

Epic looks a week+ out only to start scaling back as we move up in time from there.

My thinking is, the ceiling for this is probably a high-end SECS. Of course that means a nothing burger is still on the table. We just can’t know!

What always gets me is folks staring at an 18z vs a 12z model with 5 days to go and they get fired up that the 18z GFS has 31 inches of snow at ACY and only 3" at ABE....this is all model noise and meaningless! There will be a storm and there are many runs to go that will have it suppressed and those that have it going inland. Relax folks!

Yall getting testy about 1 guy who has reasoning behind a storm not happening lmfao 

 we are all optimists not pessimists. Go post on his page and rave to your hearts content about how great this guy is. His forecasting is like walking with two left feet and trying tie his shoe laces with no thumbs. Hopeless

are we really that surprised?:facepalm:

I mean euro has been trash this winter. Just when we need the euro it's doesnt deliver for us. Its still early so let's see if there are any changes.

Ok enough with the sun angle crap, we’ll get to that in March. With good rates and temps low 30’s snow will accumulate especially if the snow comes in overnight. It’s Wednesday 5 days to go yet as we’ve seen this season a final solution won’t be settled till Friday if at all. I’m hedging on this being a moderate storm at best and most likely for Eastern areas. So just buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Welp, a wrapped up bomb is probably out the window. Excellent job by the euro OP to never give in.

On the other hand, there is still room to get a respectable event out of this, especially closer to the coast you get. The 6z rgem sharpened the trough a lot vs 00z. Nice improvements on 6z euro and Ai. Gotta make some baby steps. I really want to see more improvements on today’s runs.
