Euro just went bonkers for next Thursday thru Saturday 

This is about the best solution we can hope for if you want a snowstorm here - takes a LP from Colorado moves it directly east while a HP travels across Canada and sets up shop in southeast Canada blocking the LP from cutting - then another LP develops down south moving Northeast - too good to be true though IMO

Ai loves president day. This signal for 13-16 has been showing up for days now

Not surprising given big switches in PNA/NAO/AO around that time. Unclear if it'll be rain/mix/snow or the exact date but the likelihood of storminess around then is high

Probably be a bit of everything. Temps are borderline throughout

Yeah basically 72 consecutive hours of precipitation - mostly snow! It ejects a bigger piece of the Pacific trof hitting CA day 4 out ahead of the consolidated ULL. This evolution doesn't have much support unfortunately among the other models save for maybe a few GEFS members. The height field evolution across the northeast days 4-6 is also very different from model consensus right now. I expect a lot of run to run variability for next week for the next few days. I don't like seeing the 2/11 wave trend a little warmer in recent runs across most guidance.

The ensembles suggest multiple waves days 5-12. But the spread-out nature of the QPF suggests disagreement about timing and significance of each in succession. I don't believe we have a clear signal yet for specific storm events or dates. The most tangible is the first, mid-week wave but even this nearer threat is still evolving.

The blinds were closed for a week and I just peaked out to see the UKMET still showing less than 0.1" liquid through the end of its run. The CMC has a few tenths through day 10 but it's rain. And no consensus among the other models for a clear threat through the mid-range. I really hope it won't be another close-the-blinds week.

Hopefully not because its been bone dry and that'll be an issue heading into spring

Waiting for the 3pm obs.  Puking snow and the house is shaking.

Re: start a thread? 

There already is a thread in the form of the contest for low temperatures and weekend snowfall. If you enter the contest (deadline 06z or 0100h tonight) please note, snowfall as per rules begins on Saturday so anything before midnight won't count towards contest results. 

Feel free to discuss the cold and snow as well as entering contest there.

Meh. I’m not particularly enthused. The 11th threat is gone, looks too warm now. And we all know the 2-3 days of snow Euro has next weekend won’t happen like that. Looks a bit warm for that threat. After that, we have our moderation period. So cold but most of it’s gone to waste. Hopefully there’s another window towards end of month. But we haven’t had late February snow since 2021. Been so long for march snow as well. I’m not impressed 

We had a storm with 11-18 inches of snow area wide, followed by cold that preserved most of the snow cover in place for the two weeks since. How is that a waste of the cold?
