    I just checked, first one fell just short of warning at 4.5”. Second was 5.5”.
  2. Terpeast
    What about the 2 Jan events last year? Both were warning events for me. Barely, but still
  3. Terpeast
    That is an epic look. The op probably overdoes it.
  4. Terpeast
    Its similar to 6z just 6 hours slower

    I’d take it, tbh. I’m not going to play the “sacrifice a more likely storm for a shoot-for-the-moon BECS which may or (more likely) may not happen” game.

    First obs from my own ambient station: 63.7 still testing it on my deck so may be running a bit warm, will put it further out imby when I finish testing and replace the batteries with lithium ones

    It means the ensembles don’t create enough spread to show all/most possibilities at range. iow, overconfident on one scenario. AI models also have this problem, which is being worked on.

    The GFS ensembles has always had a weaker signal for Jan 9-10 than 6-7. The EPS is opposite, the latter being stronger than the first wave. I think the op 6z GFS went back to what its ensemble suite was showing the whole time, while the op Euro was showing one of the upper potential scenarios of the ensembles. I usually lean on the Euro+EPS because it has been the better performing model suite based on recent verification scores in the last couple of months.

    Remember guys, when we saw a great pattern modeled for Feb 2024, we did not actually see any snowstorms on the op models at this range. We do now. One step closer.

    Nice consecutive runs by the gfs. If the other models pick it up, too, they could be sniffing something early.

    Just installed my new ambient weather station imby, got it for a xmas present from my wife. Tomorrow I’ll put it up on my fence and set it at about 10’ agl. Not expecting accurate wind speeds since I’m surrounded by trees and houses, but now I won’t be looking at other pws obs to report my temps

    Not a fan either, but it’s nice to see something different than a i-95 straddler with nothing to the SE and minimal amounts to the NW of that line. That usually means we get nothing outside of the mountains. But this is a good signal from 8-14 days out.

    Based on the mslp anomalies, all ensembles seem to agree on a good track for us between 1/6-10. So far this is holding well.
  14. Terpeast
    We just need this to hold until it actually verifies.

    IIRC, the difference between this year and 2022-23 was that the 2022 nina peaked early and slowly faded through the winter. This year seems to be a late peaker. Off the top of your head, which analogs are similar to this late peaking nina, or have we never seen a nina strengthen this late in the game?

    Yesterday 3x spin: C-1” 2x and 3-5” Today? 3.5”, MECS, HECS A trend?
  17. Terpeast
    That looks like a snow thump to ice with CAD. But I don’t trust the AIFS with those details - it’s been doing decent with the broader long wave picture so would definitely take this into account.
  18. Terpeast
    Rolled 3x and got coating to 1” twice and 3-5” once

    I remember that. We did see some cold coming after two powerful cutters, but did not see the 2 SECS until about 4-5 days prior, and even then they were progged to hit to the north of us. I think something similar is going to happen here. We won't see storms coming until the cold actually gets here, and only then we will be tracking threats, if any. Liking what the ens are showing, but I'm in wait and see mode. Get the cold here first, then track.
  20. Terpeast
    When the -NAO fades, that's when we usually get a snowstorm. Pretty typical progression scenario
  21. Terpeast
    I’m just curious, wasn’t 4” the criteria for a winter storm warning here before they changed it to 5”? Or has it always been 5”? My memory isn’t what it used to be.
  22. Terpeast
    That’s the mean trough position, with a ton of smoothing out at this range.

    Biblical east coast storm. The elite class of em. 1996, first 2010 storm, and 2016
  24. Terpeast
    Merry Christmas everyone!

    One positive takeaway from this is it might put a dent in the global temperatures. The overall spatial SST maps look a lot cooler with the ENSO region cooling off, as well as the Japan marine heat wave abating.
