Why doesn't anyone use the NAVGEM anymore? It's good enough for the Navy!

Ant used to pull all of these models out back  in the nyc metro days

I think this baby's going to hit us, I have that 2015 feeling that storms will hit us, it wants to snow. I remember watching models in 2015 and a lot of the storms were too far east on the models and eventually by go time they came back for a hit. This one reminds me of 2015 model watching.

Tonight I think it’s full OTS on operationals but ensembles only get marginally worse. Tomorrow night, thinfs will start to tick back

12z Euro scrapes the Cape/DE Maine.

That’s why I still have some optimism. It wants to come north, and it wouldn’t be so surprising to see a trend West and into the Gulf of Maine.

[mahk_webstah]

The WPC updated 3 to 7 day discussion and QPF and winter weather maps should keep some level of optimism in here particularly for eastern areas. What they are saying is that a strong storm is going to four and it’s going to come up the coast it’s just a matter of how close. Certainly it could say more out to see, but it is not at all uncommon for those things especially when they’re strong to just move a little closer and have expansive precipitation fields. A few inches to refresh would be very nice if it’s like if that’s all it is.

It is wide right too

Just wants to snow....moderate snow currently, everything coated up again...18⁰

Maybe a good sign for this weekend...

[SouthCoastMA]

To keep it simple, the the takeaway for me is the 12z EPS/Euro were a slight improvement over 6z. If it trends in opposite direction again for 18z/0z - then I'll start to be concerned about a true whiff. I'm also on the Cape, so theres that.

This may be at least partial as an effective management tool for some ...

WPC Extended Forecast Discussion

The ongoing settling of cold surface high pressure and additional
surges in the wake of the historic winter storm will maintain
dangerously cold temperatures for the central and eastern U.S. well
into next week as per the Climate Prediction Center. The airmass
may be more prolonged in areas with widespread snow/ice coverage
and enhanced radiational cooling. Amplified mean troughing aloft
will meanwhile bring rounds of weak to moderate clipper system
snows from the north-central U.S. to the Great Lakes.

In this anomalously cold pattern, there is potential for wintry
precipitation into the Gulf Coast states late week as upper trough
translation leads into northern Gulf frontal wave genesis. Wave
progression downstream and trough/closed low development aloft is
now increasingly likely to set the environment to produce a
significant Eastern Seaboard Coastal Winter storm expected to
rapidly deepen while lifting over the western Atlantic off the
Southeast Saturday and Mid-Atlantic/New England Sunday. Uncertainty
has improved but remains with the exact track of the low which
impacts the onshore wintry precipitation focus and footprint.
However,
the growing consensus at this time is for heavy snow potential
from the eastern Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic through coastal southern
New England. The forecast strength of the deep low suggests high
winds/waves and coastal flooding would also be expected.

Even the Navy doesn't really use it!  Like most organizations, it's mainly Euro and Gufus...

That was a massive blue ball. IIRC it was a sub 960mb behemoth east of benchmark, which got the outer cape/ACK into warning criteria

The 13z NBM has a 12-18" mean contour for SE MA (looks similar to the map DIT posted). 

According to dat' link (https://vlab.noaa.gov/documents/6609493/32850490/CONUS_SNOICEACCUM.pdf), snowfall values at 84hr+ are calculated from 30 GEFS members, 50 ECMWF members, and the GFS. 

Needless to say, some individual members still support this event.

12z GEFS fcst hr 138:

12z EPS fcst hr 138 (last available hour at the moment):

ICON even worse. Basically no snow even for the SE.
