The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[MJO812]

Here comes the euro

[Jt17]

That’s what everyone want’s to see starting at 0z. Since the NAM is still outside its best under 48 hr range and it hasn’t had an update since 2017. Plus the OP GFS is still more amped and further west than the other operational guidance.
But I can see a meet in the middle scenario where we come in under than the OP GFS snowfall totals but higher than some of the other operational runs.  
We should have a good idea after the 0z to 12z guidance. Sometimes the max banding potential can sneak a little more west than the average of the guidance. 

There was more support than just American models was my point. But anyway, checkout EuroAI!

I've been avoiding saying it, but I think with that run of the euro there's no other way to say it. Euro is full on caving to the GFS.

if this storm pans out this will be one of the best winters we have had in a long time lots of snow and very cold temps..

Less confluence out ahead plus more phasing...

It's really a great sight to see.

It's time to start talking about a blizzard.

[BlizzLuv]

I have been away all day. I left with 45 pages of discussion this morning and came home to 86 pages! I was in PA and saw Winter Weather advisories on the highway electronic signs and wondered if chances improved.

Because it's not done trending yet.

The GFS does have a better track record with Nor’Easters. There has been enough GFS bashing here. The model really is not THAT bad. Among the big ones they all have their strengths. But so far seeing the other models come towards the GFS has been great.

This is certainly one of the takes in history

Show that to the guy who wanted one non-US model to show an amped solution.

I don’t think the euro is done treading. I think it’s struggling with the ridge in the west

If you see 2 or 3 closed 500mb contours SE of LI, really nothing else to be said-those have been our top snowfall producing setups. Inland wouldn't do quite as well but maybe close because of less wind (wind can hamper ratios by breaking up the flakes) and excellent moisture transport in the CCB. And we all know these love to put a NW fronto band in there somewhere like West Milford which always seems to get hammered in these.

legit possibility. can't forecast more than 12" for the city as it stands this second but there is certainly 18-24" upside
