GFS keeping "my" storm alive. Verbatim would be a heartbreaker for some of us... what could go wrong 10 days out!

That's a map I could hug

[Scraff]

Always bet on the GFS being right…said nobody ever!

Ji won't be happy with mixing. Sound the alarms and prepare.

I’d rather risk rain and get the STJ involved then continue with this NS garbage pattern we’re in lol. It’s a while out but we’d need the gfs to be right about the confluence & 50/50 this run because if not it’s just a cutter because of that SE ridge but like I said I’d rather risk something like this then continue wha we’re in

A storm like that would finally bring peace to the Middle Eas… Atlantic 

It most certainly would not

Nothing like waking up in the morning to -10F in the DMV

For shits and giggles, watching that monster ball dive down on the GFS rn

Biggest storm in years and wouldn’t be happy? lol. Idc if I got 10” and someone north or south got 20”. Better than getting jack shit.

Where'd you get 10" from.  I see a lot of sleet.  Unless I stopped looking at the wrong time.  Lemme look

[CAPE]

Natty Blend for my storm. Hmmm. Not sure this will look as good next run. Heavily weight towards the GFS?

Dude, the backend of the storm drops 6-12" over DC and Baltimore

[stormtracker]

SV probably counting a ton of sleet...but more impressive than I thought

Yeah, I see it now.  I stopped looking after that sleet map was posted  Ok...i'd be happy with it

Better than cold and dry I can tell you that.

Just a guess but a storm like that could close schools

Stupid Miller B.   Anyway, both storms will be gone at 0z, so doesn't matter

Even @mattie g wouldn't have a problem with it if that happened.

Takes a lot less to close than it did 20 years ago.

Don’t know about the 80” snowstorm for southwest PA, but seems like at least one mega cold outbreak is more likely than not for later this month? Probably focused to our west so we don’t get the brunt.

I’d give my left nut, lung, kidney for that solution. 

Dont do that. It will be gone in 6 hours.

HR276 on the 18z GFS op is hilarious. Snow from northern tip of Georgia all the way up to Maine.

[Weather Will]

WB 18Z EURO for Saturday....

This forum would have to shut down  if that map actually verified. 

It would be unbearable in here lol.

2ft+ to next to nothing further south

The GFS is the biggest joke and has actually gotten worse.

Of course it'll verify from Michigain all the way to Maine, cause we all know it doesn't snow here anymore.

 

[87storms]

I’m here after viewing the 18z gfs. Arctic cold leading into a southern stream feature sounds kinda fun.

[Solution Man]

Wouldn’t be too far to chase because it’s nada here
