The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[Rjay]

It's tiring reading the back and forth about starting a thread vs not starting a thread.  Who cares.  There's no such thing as a jinx and even though the models have been performing poorly at this range this year, it's fine to discuss a storm in a dedicated thread.  Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't but if it doesn't it's not bc a thread was started.  The pattern doesn't look ideal for a big storm but who knows! Enjoy all the ups and downs of tracking a possible event.  This forum is supposed to be fun. Enjoy the weather and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Oh stop. All the silly posts about who/when/if a thread should be made can just stop now and I guess some will get some sleep tonight as a result. Unless they are pulling all nighters for models runs.

man that euro ai run got me thinking, there's a really good possibility we're going to get clobbered!

One purpose of this thread is to de-clutter the general February thread.

Maybe. Maybe not. Whether this thread was created or not has zero impact on that. As @Freezing Drizzle said though, this helps to clean up the main Feb thread a bit.

AIGFS gets cold pretty quick though, but I don’t have precip type maps was it any snow?
