  1. Not only has the west coast ridge trended sharper on the EPC, it's also trended stronger. Good to see.
  2. 100% probably one of the better model suites of the winter thus far. Bottom line: there's potential next week, but no one should be spiking the ball. I fully expect swings with each run, hoping to at least see a trend at 18z where things are still there.
  3. They seem to be more common in El Nino events, maybe the more active STJ is a requirement for these?
  4. A key ingredient for any legitimate snowstorm in these parts.
  5. Agreed. We're like 12 hours off from a legit event for everyone.
  6. Thus far, the 12z suite gives credence to a storm somewhere in the 1/15 to 1/17 time frame. It doesn't appear to be a cutter either, either it hits us or to our south. That's about all anyone should glean.
  7. Seems like a 50/50 low locks everything in? Not a terrible spot for the antecedent high, not great either. IIRC, that setup worked for 12/19/09 too.
  8. DGEX and then the DGEX and Canadian for the 2/10 event.
  9. As @Terpeast and @WxUSAF have often said, worry about thermals inside D5.
  10. Yea there's a decent moisture feed with that storm and it looks fairly neutral at 500 mb?
  11. Will echo others' sentiment about Jan 2025. My records indicate a total snow depth of about six inches for several days, with a low temperature of 1° twice.
  12. Indeed. Unfortunately some folks misinterpret posts like that so I was attempting to add a crumb of context.
  13. Paul Kocin cooked that metaphor up. He gets all the credit.
  14. Yes. To get a Major East Coast Storm, you need multiple ingredients to align. It's like cooking - a phenomenal meal needs to come together almost perfectly.
  15. Slightly reassuring to see the 18z suite of ensembles hold or beef up snowfall.
  16. Equally important is the western ridge trending stronger and sharper.
  17. No high pressure to the north to impart better cold air advection. Heavier precip rates overcome a marginal profile and turn precip to frozen, elsewhere, it's rain. Very believable.
