yeah it's like pulling teeth most years to get anything decent outside of a day or two in April

Spring this year may be one of memories... it's been forever ago qr have had this much cold, ice and water temps in the 30s . Unless that's a big big stretch of 70s/80s early on i can't see it getting warm for a while unless your away from shorelines.

looks cold for a couple weeks but hopefully we break and March is warm...wishful thinking probably

If this turns into the GFS going down in flames again, I don’t see how anyone in their right mind can take anything it shows for the rest of this winter seriously…..

the key here will be offshore or onshore wind-any stretch of east or northeast winds is going to be more awful that usual given the water temps being BN

Or any model lol. They all had a big hit other than the OP Euro.

Trash job by the entire field.

Every model isnt that far away from the gfs except the euro

It depends on what you mean. In terms of “can the models get to looking like the GFS without fundamentally shifting the entire pattern”? Sure

But the evolution of how the waves move, interact with one-another, their positioning are very much different

Both solutions are physically possible to occur, but gun to my head I’d say the GFS is the least likely of the two by a considerable margin attm

This system is a good test. The ECMWF stood alone for a time. Now the GFS is doing so. If the ECMWF or something close to it verifies, that will again expose the GFS's deficiencies. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any urgency to address the model's flaws.

Late February/early March 2015 comes to mind. Although, things turned warmer as the spring went on. May 2015 was near record warm.

NYC

Feb 2015: 23.9 -12.0

Mar 2015: 38.1 -4.7

Apr 2015: 54.3 +0.6

May 2015: 68.5 +5.3

I won't be surprised if one of the spring months was near record warm.

Are you implying that science isn’t at the forefront of our current heads of Government? Who woulda thunk it

Euro should be running soon. Godspeed, all

Wait till at least friday night to write this storm off. Still early for now. 

 

This could still be maybe a strip of 3 to 6" for the region which is still fine to close out the winter

To each his own but I never understand why everyone is so anxious to close out winter in February.

It could be worse. Consider the last four months in Phoenix: November: 3rd warmest; December: 1st warmest; January: 4th warmest; February: likely 1st warmest. Winter 2025-2026: 1st warmest by a large margin and potentially warmer than Phoenix's coolest spring on record.

If only there were 12 more weather balloons.

I think the 12Z Euro AI may have been the final call on this storm for our region. At most I think it grazes the area with a light snowfall. It could be a complete whiff. We'll know for sure by sometime tomorrow. But that's how I am currently leaning. Very light snowfall to zippo.

WX/PT

Yeah… if the AIFS and UKMET are right, that wave-spacing is just gonna kill any possibility the feature can turn the corner fast enough. really need that lead wave to slow down, the one from Canada to speed up or some combination thereof. Right now, they’re perfectly spaced so as to kill any chance of doing something for places like NYC, at least as depicted on those models

and anything light is not going to accumulate unless it's at night-it's not all that cold

The GFS is the only one that stuck to the big hit idea, all the others moved off of it. We can all see where this is going when the GFS is on its own. When was the last time it scored a coup when it was on its own? I honestly don't remember

3 days out? Never. It doesn't even have the nam on its side

I'll take "never" for $500 Alex!

the NAM is in essence useless beyond 48-60, it can do anything possible beyond that and you cannot really put faith in it at all being right or not.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

I think the writing is on the wall with this one, unfortunately.


GFS vs ECMWF/EPS/Euro-AI/UKM does not bode well 9 times out of 10.

Barring a major shift on the 12z euro, i think the only thing that keeps this threat alive is if we see increased support for the GFS solution on the EPS. If the EPS holds serve or even shifts east then I think a GFS solution is off the table.

Regardless, this will be a close call and could easily still turn into an advisory-level event for some.
