GEFS/EPS ensemble members at 12z Sun.......

Thanks for sharing.  as shown, if you adjust clusters you'd notice that GFS/Euro ensembles are very similar in placement.

So to that end, we have good agreement, even though it still needs to continue westward ticks.  THIS is the kind of consensus that we whould be looking for at this range.

We need a phase unlike any we've seen in a decade

18z GEFS slightly improved from 12z. Plenty of time still84bdf43332fc580b6395dca26865ab7d.jpg

I think my frustration is that some here expect every model run to show the perfect hit all the time, or dont realize that just because some model shows something good a week out, its a rarity that they lock in (last week despite last minute taint, was largely a lock from many models from waayy out there at 7 days). 

What we see this week is more typical gyrations and how it goes MOST times.  If youre new to this, please keep this in mind when a model doesnt show you what you want.  It doesnt work that way in this business, and sometimes we find ourselves shoehornin our way into events.  Pattern looks great, but it doesnt mean its a lock.

This past storm has 100-200 mile adjustments within the last 60 hours prior to starting. This one is trickier since its purely a phasing system versus a massive juiced up southern wave so a lot needs to go right at the right moment to bury everyone, but a 150 mile shift with more than 96 hours to go is not impossible

totally agree.  poor or late phase, its pure fish food.  Decent capture, its a scraper, nice/good capture, its a nuke job for some (and that some may NOT be us)

I think this is a miss for NYC -PHL-DCA & probably RIC.Upstream energy will kick the upper low off NC coast then to NE. Eastern MA could get into the western periphery of storm Sun.Liklely a bomb cyclone resulting in coastal damage & flooding mid-atl/Northeast. Full moon is FEB 1

Hey guys, I had a rough day yesterday with snow removal. My snow blower broke right when I tried to fire it up. The pull cord gave way & snapped off. Then, I tried several times to use the electric start, but had no luck. My neighbors came to my rescue. My next door neighbor let me borrow his & then my good pal across the street came over with his snow blower to help me as well. It would have been a nightmare to hand shovel my lengthy sidewalk & dig out 3 vehicles that were plowed in on the street. Despite the wonderful help, it still took over 4 hours to remove the foot of snow & sleet. 

The snow piles on the street from digging out are massive. If we get more snow this weekend, it’s going to be a real challenge. I thought about rooting against this weekend’s chance, but who the heck am I kidding…?!

Lets’s try to reel this next one in!

I'm coming home tomorrow after 2 full weeks on the road. Great trip, will be even better to be back in my own bed.

 Shame though. I have no hope for this weekend. Our new friend the mouse has made it clear we need to move on. Well that settles that.

Blizz thanks for all your help on here!

Glad you got some help with snow removal. Personally getting all the snow off the vehicles, wears me out. I need to be a few inches taller. If it’s not much snow I just blow it off the vehicles with my leaf blower.

As far as snow we will take whatever the snow Gods decide to give us. :snowman:

JB said tonight on the weekend storm that there are to many days to go to give up on it yet. In other words there are many pieces that would have to align and some aren't in the US yet.

Like him or not he's 100% correct.

not every storm is perfect, but yeah, if we can eek out a few inches on western edge of qpf, I'll be giddy.
