Possible Record Breaking Cold + Snow 1/25 - 1/26

[NJwx85]

There’s no phasing and it all gets squashed south. If that Southern piece doesn’t eject in time we’re finished.

That was when the MRF first moved to the GFS (first winter season) and the AVN to NAM

Not yet. If we see this trend throughout the day there may be some concern.

Only if the other models do the same thing

We are driving from Hartford back to Long Island on Sunday afternoon from my older’s volleyball tournament into the evening so…I’m fully expecting a storm and because we’ll be on the road, I’m taking full credit for it . 

Might be a good day for the ferry.

Nah, if there's one model you don't want your side this far out it's that one.  Remember how it was hugging 8 inches of snow for everyone 12/27 for an entire week?  I ended up with 2 inches and sleet.

What no PBP anymore??? gfs is rolling 

PBP are usually brutal - full of overreactions and bad early takes.

It'll be interesting to see the GEFS mean (12z) Op vs Ensembles

[BoulderWX]

even if we don't cash in this time, this has the potential to be a historic storm for the south -- latest depiction from GFS shows a foot plus in parts of AL, GA, SC, and NC - would be truly epic for them down there - I have family in NC and they're all going nuts asking me about this. 

 

CMC up next!

Lol icon moved north, gfs went south basically a flip by both.

CMC unloading a major ice storm across NC and parts of the south - lets see if she makes the turn up the coast. 

 

edit: she definitely looks to make the turn - moderate snow into the area at 120; skirting east at 126 - mod snow still in the area

[SnowGoose69]

CMC definitely moving towards the GFS/Euro idea it seems so far

GFS/Euro? they're completely different at this time you mean moving towards GFS

My man... you go back and forth with every model run. Following weather is not live by the model, die by the model. It's the trend. You follow trends made over multiple days by multiple models. You also look at WHY, exactly, the GFS went south. Does it make sense or did it do something wrong?

This is why we're on a forum with professional meteorologists. If it hits, it hits. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Either way, we get extremely cold, dense air.

If there was ever a time to consider Kuchera it's with a storm like this. Gives the area almost a foot.

It's significant, but notably lighter than the 0z solution.

Yes I agree those temps will bring high ratios
