GEFS says “the whole sub forum can eat with this run”

Tasty….that’s a big south and east shift right off the coast

Well…….think the GEFS just said “hold my beer”

Seems odd to me, I would think this 00z run would produce more Ice

I’m right there with you. I’ll drink an extra one tonight for you

Trends are our friend tonight. Even if it’s 1 mile lol

Oh for crying out loud. Cut me a break….welcome to the party DT. Pull up a chair and get comfortable. If I had a dollar for every message I received today on my Facebook page regarding Storm specifics I could probably afford a down payment on a car

I can agree with that…but what I was saying is the current state of the model data we are 50/50 from swinging in either direction. Either the sub forum gets a big time snow or the sub forum gets a mixed bag precip event. Even with a mixed bag event, yes, 3-6 is doable.

Agreed. Climatology speaks volumes here, so do analogs. What is shown is not a typical end result to the depicted storm evolution and track

Still think the models are not handling the northern stream energy properly. Unfortunately we might not have a better idea until tomorrow or Friday when NWS ballon soundings are conducted and the data gets ingested. Honestly this is a close call right now for a large portion of this sub forum. Either a big snow or a huge swing and miss with a mix bag. It’s like we are in the 9th inning, 3-2 count with the bases loaded. Tying run on first base, grand slam would win it. The pitcher is prime Randy Johnson and we are a rookie no name call-up from the minor leagues.

Just being truthful man, literally no positive trends right now. Pretty sad when I keep finding myself clicking on the NAM for a refresh (literally going to the last resort) but realizing “geez, it’s not even in range yet”

But….wouldn’t be surprised to see the operational models tonight crap the bed and produce a cold rain with some sleet and ice for areas east of the mountains. One can hope

Another “fly in the ointment” with this forecast is the Baja Low. Operational models are having a hard time with it, along with the northern shortwave. Ensembles seem to be handling them better. Honestly…you would think that the expected trend is a crush job showing up with later model runs for NOVA
