Gfs had one last night. that's because the 500mb wave is positively tilted on that one. Need a neutral or neg tilt. But at this range it won't take much 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at this range it won't take much I think the problem is that a lot of the snow fans here have an all or nothing mentality when it comes to patterns. If it's not going to show a 1996,2003,2016 level storm then into the garbage it goes as if that's our only way to get snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM 4 minutes ago, Ji said: yea too many people think if there is a circle in the middle atlantic it has to mean big storm Nobody said that. The fact remains that we can't get anything to work without perfection, and there's no such thing as perfection in MA snowstorms outside of 1 every 12-15 years. I contend the general NW-->SE flow is the reason for storms failing to develop vs prior years and weak qpf output. If this doesn't change at some point, get used to ensemble progs the rest of the "cold enough to snow" season being right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a low comes up from Georgia and moves northeast like an A then very little perfection is needed.

mitchnick Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM One other thing. This look of the Eps with the ridge to our south guarantees imho the closing off of Gulf moisture. Cold and dry. Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraff Posted Tuesday at 07:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:47 PM How is this not producing? I guess if it’s going to, it needs to start showing some digital blue love by the 7 day out mark. So we have time, but it’s ticking fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a passage of a cold front after a period of decently AN temps that are slow to leave. Very little precip falls per the run before and after that 216hrs panel.

If we don't have something plausible within 5 days of that, then it's probably game over for even hitting climo snowfall. It's going to be feast or famine during the upcoming favorable window.

Too much NW - SE flow is a dry flow and discourages the pattern that we need with an active STJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted Tuesday at 10:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:41 PM I never understood the pattern delayed line because the same models that hinted at a pattern are the same ones not hinting at one so in reality there is no pattern change until there is one thus nothing is delayed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
