I was holding my laptop when i refreshed the 18z euro and I almost dropped it!

I bet some of those 30” totals in NC is sleet. But a storm like this, especially a phaser, someone somewhere might get 2+ feet.

Looks like 12z gfs was a blip rather than a trend.

Qpf about the same actually

Crept north based on MSLP low position

I was coming here to say this. GEFS didn’t really move apart from noise level changes. Op was probably one of the few members that held the sw back too much.

We're still up for a model reshuffling probably 12z through 0z tomorrow. GFS is showing that it can still go either way, I just hope it's wrong and it'll cave back again.

Don't think its any surprise AI GFS would be similar to GFS since its based off the same initial model conditions

I learned from DT way back when that you don't go against the E/E rule.

Careful, we don’t want too much too fast. I am 90% sure the storm will come up north anyway. I’m thinking the mix line will reach as far north as EZF/SoMD despite the models saying it’ll stay south of the NC/VA border.

Actually GFS AI is very similar to op GFS at both 500mb and sfc low positions. It's the precip shield that's a bit different, but I don't trust AI models on precip. I trust them more on 500mb and storm tracks

I would think the mix line moves north from NC to somewhere across south/central VA into lower delmarva, and the snowfall amounts north of that stay the same or a bit less. Just an educated guess

I’m up. 200+ new replies. It must be good! Just saw the ens maps - I love where we are sitting right now, and its now <84 hrs where the models are phasing the two streams.

I’m gonna end this night on a high note and go to sleep.

On 120, precip shield 100 miles north maybe more
