Blizzard of 93

The best part about 0z so far for the 15th is that both the GFS & Canadian have an organized low that brings snow to the region. The last few days have shown a random run here or there that have looked interesting, but tonight it’s good to see both models with a decent system that snows on us or very close by.

@mitchnick @Ji The ensembles are starting to beef up their snow amounts today for the last 10 days of their runs. 12z Canadian ensemble got it started. 18z GEFS & 18z AI EPS really ramped up. Hopefully this continues to build up as most of the potential is from day 9 onward.

Happy birthday @sauss06 !

The 6z GFS was a beautiful run showing coastal potential on the 16th.

That’s my close #2 best week in my opinion. The historic first storm in 96 places it just above 2010 for me. Either way, they are a clear #1 & #2 for best snow weeks in the last 30 years or more.

The overnight Op runs are coming around to the idea of a moisture laden storm that rides up the coast. The 0z Euro liked the 18th, but missed just to our south this run. Plenty of time & potential in this period.

Great memories from the Blizzard of 96 back when I was a freshman in college. That week of weather with the Blizzard dropping 2 feet near Harrisburg, the mid week over performing Clipper that brought a few inches, to the end of week significant coast that brought another foot to the Harrisburg area still stands as the greatest week of weather in my lifetime.

0z GFS is looking a lot more interesting for the chance on the 15th. Definitely room for possible improvement at the surface with this look at H5.

18z GFS shows a couple of opportunities between the 15th & 19th. The first chance is light this run, but could have been more if the pieces phased better. The second chance misses south this run, but again the potential is there.

18z AI EPS also likes the 20th period.

That run was close to delivering at least 3 events by day 16. I think it’s just a matter of time until we are keying in on a specific trackable storm.

0z GFS has another potential juicy looking system approaching this run on day 16.

0z GFS for the 15th has a low approaching from the south that rides up & off of the coast. It was closer to something more this run, but most of us at this point would take it as depicted this run.
