So glass half full maybe we are out of the main issue that plagued us from 2017-2024 and we just haven’t had a snowy winter yet (and I’ve not given up on this one yet we just need one flush hit and the pattern is far from hopeless). Next year is a Nino most likely, but the QBO will be the opposite direction. However, I still like the idea of increased blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I still just can't see this storm delivering for people west of I-95 or north of I-64. We would need the coastal low to jump so far west and with the wave spacing out west I think its nearly impossible. It would take the same (if not more so) level of coincidences that made last weeks storm into a cutter to happen here to bring this storm back for most of our forum. Which once again, is possible, but extremely improbable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it never snowed at all we would have all either moved or moved on to other things in our lives by now. No no no, in order to inflict the absolute most pain and suffering possible they have to give us just enough hope to keep us coming back each time for the next kick in the nads. That's right. In part it's where we live. The land of the possible but not probable. Iykwim. Intermittent rewards. Tailor made for both addiction and torment.

WesternFringe Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 1 hour ago, stormy said: Yes, I know it has the highest verification scores. But, I don't consider it to be a king. A king rules. The Euro only rules if misinformed people allow it to rule. Last weekend the Euro was wrong about predominant precipitation type. It was wrong about about total qp. It was wrong about total snowfall amount. If we had received Euro predicted rainfall for the last 6 months, we wouldn't be in a severe drought now. These are the important factors to rate a model. It is not a king. Sometimes it is right, sometimes it is wrong. Longtime expert formulation rating for a forecast......... Use 60% ECMWF and 40% GFS............... You are overly personifying a weather model dude. Relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several setups that aren't all that uncommon where my yard and the DMV gets all snow in the same similar range. I'll mix or rain a lot more but I'm looking really forward to the first clean decent sized event where we celebrate together. It'll happen. Just a matter of when. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the NWS (I am trying to intern with them after all!) but I'm starting to become a bit skeptical of their snowfall totals. They predicted over 8 inches of snow/sleet and I ended up with 5. Before that in NYC they predicted double of what I got. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing to hedge your forecast to motivate public officials towards the snowier outcomes but I do think they should be read with that goal in mind.
