  1. Can we tighten up the the discussion here and move the banter to another thread?
  2. Nobody should be throwing in the towel north of Mason-Dixon. This isn't late Febraury during a wall to wall torch winter.
  3. RE: Thurs-Fri event The 12z GEFS is advisory level snow/ice N&W of I-95. It's "contaminated" by a few inland running coastal lows that go into Lancaster/Lehigh Valley. If we get rid of those, it's probably a solid event.
  4. 12z GFS is a crush job for Thur/Fri N&W of I-81. The I-99 corridor up to IPT and CTP gets over a foot of snow. Mixed bag for LSV.
  5. My expectations for this week are just getting on the board. Anything else is gravy.
  6. Yes because you're in Arizona. Maybe this was the key all along?
  7. Please just give the Mid Altantic a shot in a La Nina.
  8. Behind the chances for this week, we turn into a legit -NAO/-AO and neutral to slightly +PNA, with favorable EPO. No two ways about, we are looking decent.
  9. 12z GFS is gonna do it at HR252. The primary low at 500mb washed out and transfers everything to the coast. Not bad.
  10. Old forecasting rule was 3 to 4 isobars ahead of the storm it meant the Gulf was open for business. Looks like health blocking in Canada and the Atlantic at 500mb at HR240 ahead of the storm. That's nice.
  11. Let's not sleep on the 19th - 21st on the GFS either. High pressure is locked in nicely ahead of a gulf storm.
  12. Indeed. At this point, we want to watch the 850/500 mb evolution. Wait until 00z Monday to start worrying about the surface.
  13. 12z GEFS thru HR156 have a weak coastal low and everyone gets at least some light snow. That's pretty good. Onto the Euro.
  14. ^not bad. Anyone got that map with individual low placement for the same time?
  15. Yup. This time last year it was mid 50s with pacific puke. We're looking better this year.
  16. -PNA allows the storm strengthen over the central US, then coastal doesn't get going because of Atlantic blocking. A lot of moving pieces here so don't expect consensus probably until 00z Monday runs. Bottom line up front: stormy, cooler pattern emerging with several opportunities.
  17. Yes. I like it. We're D5/D6, but this is nice. Time for the ensembles. See my previous post and bullet #1.
  18. You're going to like the 12z GFS for the 14th to 15th. It has a legitimate CAD signature through HR120. If you go to the NCEP site and look at the surface and even up tp 925mb, it's pretty strong and there's a fresh cold airmass to our NE. Not too shabby.
