Nees to be stronger, more snow for the Eastern areas. I want to wish the impossible, an all snow MECS, last time for me was Dec 2009.

Pretty close. I can only get 24hrs we have to subtract from the previous storm. Add like 4” to that idk

977-mb off the coast of NJ???  Holy F***!!

[Amped]

What an awesome 2 panels on the gfs. Delayed the phase right up until you thought it wasn't gonna happen.

Okay I probably should have looked at 200mb.

I don’t need it. It’s all arthritic anyways

But given how models change over time I would have liked to see this storm over bermuda this far out before it adjusts NW

Peep the digital snow thread post for what the GFS had 9 days ago for this storm. GFS is excellent in this range

/s (but what if I’m not joking)

You actually might not be so wrong on that. Sometimes gfs will show a stork at range, lose it and then bring it back.

no joke, this pattern is how you get a storm like that. two distinct vorts and a massive block rotting in central Canada encouraging a phase. the flow slows to a crawl

What do you think of the pattern? For Sunday you said that it was a good pattern for a MECS but implied there was a cap. Is there no limit to this pattern?

if the Pacific jet does not overwhelm things and push the trough axis too far east, then no, not really

[Terpeast]

I have a feeling that we’re gonna go another week without much sleep

[andyhb]

Good lord…

[stormtracker]

I'd take that storm and call it a winter.  Seriously

[Terpeast]

I also think that cold air will not be much of an issue because of all the snow/ice cover we will have across the country east of the Mississippi
