It's already game on. Pretty much every piece of guidance targets our region for accumulating snow, and most of them give us a warning level event. We're now well inside of 100 hours. Of course every piece of guidance could take a historically bad dump and we all end up smoking cirrus but that doesn't seem likely.
Thinking historically it's a good idea to mention all the precip types. In coastal storms with uncertain temperature profiles we can see any type of precipitation.
UKMET looks great to me, delivers some backend love with cold temps.
I'm in chips fall mode. It's going to be cold this weekend, it's going to snow, it's going to accumulate. I'm not sweating the exact details too much anymore. It's enjoy the lead up to the event time.
There isn't really consensus on the coastal yet IMO. I think it is likeliest that if a deform does happen it'll probably be in our region possibly up through philly and central jersey, but these are notoriously hard to pin down.
It’s hard to believe that there will be basically no deform as the euro is showing when most models have it. But it’s also hard to go against the euro this close in!!! Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
Gonna be some epic meltdowns today if guidance follows the euro. If the coastal doesn’t pan out that’s fine, I’m just looking forward to a wintry day Sunday even if this all just ends up a 2-4 deal.
Yeah me too, I love storms where it actually feels like winter start to finish and it isn’t drip drop drip drop for 5 hours in the middle. I don’t care too much about the super duper amounts at this juncture given our recent futility. I’d just like some snow that sticks and doesn’t melt instantly. Even if this ends up a 2-4 or 3-6 inch deal I’ll be pretty happy.
I dunno, glad this is all hypothetical (for now) and most models aren’t showing this. It doesn’t seem like we’re in danger of losing the whole set up. Most models still target our region. I think a large swath of our region gets 5+ inches.
If we’re picking our fail method I say let’s go suppression. We’ll hopefully still get something on the WAA, maybe just less, but at least it would be cold and wouldn’t melt right away.
If the 18z euro is right you’ll get a lot of snow!
I don't think east is a real concern for us. There haven't been a lot of model runs showing the coastal forming too far east. My concern is something like last night's Euro or this mornings ICON where the coastal doesn't get its act together in time for us which is typically how we fail in a Miller B.
