I think some folks are overselling this thing a bit.

Obviously, these are great solutions and everyone would take.

It’s certainly not high end though? As modeled. A nice, mid sized snowstorm.

I just have to check if you’re being real here or are you being a parody of yourself? Clarity would be helpful in these stressful times.

I’d say most solutions have been closer to 10 if you toss the out of control Kuchera maps 

I appreciate this perspective… the vibes here seem to expect a linear continuation of increasing sensible impacts… imo 18” anywhere is like top 10% case requiring robust coastal redevelopment

Over an inch of QPF with those temp profiles is not a “mid sized snowstorm”. That’s major and it’s possible the QPF is underdone a bit in a solution like that. It’s forming a CCB with 40-50 knots of inflow at 850…so there’s definitely mechanics for higher end totals. But even 1.25” of QPF at 14 to 1 is a 17” snowstorm.

Obviously if we get a CCB assist in the second half, all bets are off.

I think mid sized was a bad choice of words, probably should have just said, not upper echelon

I'll take QPF underdone for $1000, please

10-20" seems possible, closer to the latter if the secondary gets going

Weren’t we just discussing the euroAI solution? Ineedsnow said over an inch for all of SNE and you said it’s a mid sized snowstorm. 
 

I agree some solution like the Icon is fairly mid…maybe 8-12ish…but any of these that are producing inflow and 1-1.5” of QPF is major at minimum.

Agree 

It's way too early for exact calls and snowfall maps. But we put out a first assessment for the public for a general threat of 8"+ region wide - similar to the first one you did with that last storm that had 6"+/<6". I think thats reasonable atm.
