Just like the GFS, the Euro takes a fair portion of our area back to snow. 1 more shift south like that and I'd imagine some parts of our subforum (you know who you are) would be shoveling this

March 5 2015 as well. 40s and rain changing to heavy snow. I think IAD recorded ~9 inches of snow in that.

January Storm Term Threat Discussions (Day 3 - Day 7)
Cobalt replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
GEFS has continuously been getting juicier for the 28th threat. I'd imagine some good hits fit into that mean. One thing of note was the higher heights leading into the storm compared to 6z. This 6z's wettest panel FWIW -
Hope this is good. Captures most of the system, although I couldn't compress the GIF enough to fit the end of the storm.

Something to watch out for on the Euro/EPS. The GEFS/GFS are insistent on making snow fly on the backend, meanwhile the Euro does the exact opposite. Wonder which caves to which.

Wow.. that system hitting a brick wall with the 50/50 low is a thing of beauty. Intensifies to a 978mb low pressure a fair bit offshore, but I'd imagine the precip would be more expansive than what is depicted. Great run for an op at this range though -

And then a 996 off of Hatteras but the main slug of snow is in Pennsylvania :p. Although the main takeaway is that it has the storm. Interesting evolution too. -

TT is running late for the GFS and I can't figure out a lot of the WxBell panels, but here's the GFS surface depiction at hr 165 -

It's interesting that while the Euro insists that DC's best chance of blue is the front end thump, meanwhile the GFS insists on crashing 850s on the backend and turning to snow then. Is it too weenie to ask for both of those scenarios to combine? :p -

ICON suddenly trended warmer at 6z, but is back to a somewhat colder solution. It's a strung out mess however, yet it still manages a med range WWA snowfall for many -

Euro whiffs on our 28th wave but has an interesting intensifying low pressure on the 31st at hour 240. Wonder if that's why the EPS has two distinct waves during that 4 day period. -

The GFS/GEFS never had it put together in the first place -

So did the Para, but the Para is a Euro-like solution lol. Actually it keeps frozen much closer to us for a fair bit of the storm, wonder how close it is to a really good solution -

The snow mean was pretty similar, but I still agree on what you said with the change in the individual members from the EPS. For our region the chances of 1" of snow went up, but the chances of 6" of snow on the EPS went down. I'd imagine this suggests that our ticket to success is the front end thump with way less members holding onto thermals -

We're basically in 144hr EPS range, so that 6z EPS also gets a chance to gave to the gfs too -

Onset is 138hrs, within 6 days! Still feels like an eternity considering how much models have liked to drop storms, but we might have momentum on our side, given that the GEFS got closer to a Euro solution, Canadian has stayed solid, and so has the Euro/EPS. -

Way less lakes lows on the individual members, a step in the right direction for sure -
