  1. synoptically, 3k nam and nam had colder 850s leading into event as a result of the confluence being handled significantly differently this run at this lead time starting from only 18 hours out hopefully this is a trend and something we see on all guidance tonight! nam was pretty close for my liking tho honestly
  2. this is just a thought but shouldn't the snow stick almost immediately because of how cold the ground is from the two days of pretty cold temperatures along with those 20 degree DPs up until onset? why use snow depth
  3. why are operational models so much stronger than ensembles?
  4. https://x.com/AtlanticWx/status/1742383118823178693?s=20 At least some positives have come out of climate change
  5. im confused, this run looked worse before it played out? what makes 18z gfs even better? am i missing some weird vort
  6. i think the panic comes from the tight gradient and the fact that we're still so far out
  7. the trend for a faster storm is pretty evident here
  8. yeah i like seeing all that snow south of the fall line. but euro definitely scares me. while ik icon is shit, im just glad it shifted south
  9. i would like to see south shifts on the ensembles & models into 0z now.
  10. i like our chances here in the mid atlantic for once, we track
  11. 18z eps control looks amazing btw, and it usually shadows the op. it looks like there's more cold and precip starts quicker. it looks colder than gfs at the very least 18z on top, 12z on bottom
  12. feels like we're just setting up for an amazing late winter with all that snow cover we're setting rn
  13. the 8" storm is the late feb 1983 snowstorm btw. it'd be a rainstorm today.
  14. for fun, i did an analysis of the snow events we've lost due to climate change. the results were pretty surprising, but it wasn't as high as i thought it'd be. still alarming -- we're losing an average of ~1.1 snow events per year.
  15. ICON would've snowed too damn, what made the 0z models change sm? sampling?
  16. ofc we'll see a +PDO again, it's a decadal oscillation so it usually flips every ~10 years or so
  17. exactly, like AGW is happening fast but i feel like especially in the forums it's exaggerated for how much of an effect it has. it still can snow, like on dec 11 when we got a T-3" area wide storm when we expected nothing in a pretty horrible pattern because it just came together perfectly i think while a lot of the snowlessness recently has to do w AGW & its effects, i also think its just really bad luck along w the -PDO worsening everything since 2016
  18. i don't really get the sentiment across all the forums for canceling winter anyway. the mid point for major storms in ninos like these in the mid atlantic is early february. 75% of winter hasn't even started based off major storms by january 20th. we're fine
  19. wasn't this expected? mjo forcing is supposed to go into MC around this time isn't it? we're not in a nina, i don't really get the worry about some immovable SE ridge
  20. euro has an interior storm for this fwiw, i honestly like euro's progression altogether because it's really close to a good snowstorm on jan 7th. pretty nice look where all we're relying on is a single shortwave to go negative, and there being cold ofc
  21. all ensembles have trended colder in the long range. i suspect this is because of the trend away from the SSW and probably a weaker pass thru 4-5-6 MJO wise which ends up reducing the early signs of our SSW (like EC ridging). If these trends continue, we should be in the game for all of january
  22. kuchera is even more LMAOO, it's like 5-6" extra bc it's that cold
  23. lots of double negatives here, so you'll be surprised if we don't get something between now and january 10th?
