I’m not a 20 year old kid anymore. I’m a 40 year old man with 3 kids and a full time job. Don’t have the time I once had. I’ll do my best to chip in on this one though since it’s got blockbuster written all over it.
You can see here how the timing is slightly off and instead of a consolidated trough, it gets elongated, weakens, and gets kicked East at the last momiute. Still positive trends.
Don’t be shocked if the end result of this storm is about an 8 hour event that brings 4-8” of snow. Those saying the changes aloft on the Euro are just noise are being ignorant. A long duration event only happens if there’s a clean phase. Otherwise it’s overrunning and a scrape as the coastal gets kicked East.
It’s actually been a decent winter for snow. But there’s no point in it being cold if it’s not going to snow. Cold and dry like the next few days are the worse in my opinion.
It’s setups like this that I can’t stand people that root for cold weather. As always, the cold has to be well timed and not too entrenched or it’s suppression city. I’d rather it be in the 60’s and sunny all winter with the occasional well timed cold and storm then a fridged winter where the track stays South.
Ratios on the Northern fringe could be as high as 20:1 but these storms always hit a brick wall at some point. Hopefully that brick wall is North of I-84.
