Because the PNA isn't neutral

We snowed with a -pna in the past. Not when it’s -4stdv you’re right. But why is it that when the pna goes negative it’s never -1 it’s -3 now?  You’re beating around it.

Something like 31/762 cases does not support a forecast position.. What's your call on High temps Feb 15-16?

Depends on whether there is a storm or not. It will be a lot warmer if it’s sunny than raining or snowing. 

[psuhoffman]

But that has nothing to do with my point. You’re focused on this synoptic setup and I’m focused on something that’s skewing the underlying pattern behind the synoptic setup

I'll probably give it a 3% chance for all snow at this point. 15% chance for some snow at some point, at least on I95.

We never have a good chance of an all snow event in any pattern

Too bad we had a Nina STJ this year. It was a nina-stj last winter too. Too bad, the AO was favorable

[Maestrobjwa]

Well...at least this is an on-topic back and forth  But still though...lol

[DDweatherman]

Sorry to anyone who saw the increase of pages since about 6pm and said WOAH what happened only to see nothing did on the models…just debate club. 

[Amped]

High over Bermuda, 500mb low tracking over Northern Florida. What more can you ask for from the GFS?

[bncho]

If the GFS verified it'd be a storm with no frozen at all in mid Feb, not even on the northern edge of precip (which extends to NYC), save for a few very tiny ZR pockets that are just 32 degree rain

Can we please go back to the debate, this is unimportant.

It sounds like the problem here is more of a timing isssue. In the runs that snowed the precip came in earlier. But with the most recent ones...things develop so slow that the cold air is already scoured out by the time the storm gets here. But I could be wrong. @psuhoffman feel free to clarify

No you're right, the delay in the ejection of the shortwave allows the cold air to escape

Almost time to shit the blinds on this threat. 

[Maestrobjwa]

Wonder how long it'll take before the AIs finally correct themselves? Lol I'd bet on Day 5!

Yeah it's the GFS, but

Here's later that day.. probably a little extreme but it shows that there is some potential for a nice warm up. Sounding says DCA is 75F.

JFC I was starting to think I wasn’t articulating well enough. 

It's Chuck. 

It has nothing to do with how well you articulate something. It's like getting frustrated because the moose isn't putting together the IKEA cabinet you wrote the instructions for. No matter how clear you make em, it's still a moose and it's still just gonna keep doing moosey things.

Nice? Maaaaan ain't nobody but the heat misers want that right now, lol But a pronounced SER would fit nina clomo though...

[Maestrobjwa]

Huh...OP Euro actually looking like it's AI counterpart. Completely suppressed this run!

[Stormchaserchuck1]

It was 71F in Nashville today. The next few days may bust a little bit warmer, although snowcover may keep it cooler.

Fascinating stuff. 
 

You should head on over to the Tennessee Valley forum and update them immediately on this big news. 

[mattskiva]

So clearly this is the banter thread now right?  Cause scrolling through page after page of this noise to find like 2 posts about model runs is just, well, a joyous way to spend the day

Oddly enough, Round 2 of this debate has been technically on topic though page consuming, lol

[Jebman]

This thread has gone completely to hell and back folks.

We could at least track severe weather.
