  1. GFS and long range hrrr holding onto snow behind the front tomorrow. Euro has flakes to a dusting north of DC.
  2. I don’t think so. More that the Niña is not as coupled to the atmospheric pattern right now. That coupling or lack of can be a persistent feature or it can be transient. This Niña is dying but not dead yet, so I’d expect it to exert some influence still but can’t say when.
  3. 29 at midnight, now 34/29. What time does my surprise snowstorm start?
  4. Euro wants nothing to do with post frontal snow unfortunately. About a 20F temp drop in 6 hours per euro, and 30F in 12 hours.
  5. It is. Not sure I’m going to believe it until the snow is falling though. p.s. if you look though, gfs may be slowly backing down on the amount of precipitation behind the front over the last 4-5 runs.
  6. Was thinking this the other day and some Twitter Mets have been posting about it now, but the “relax” period around new years is basically a canonical super El Niño pattern. Pretty odd in the midst of a 3rd year La Niña. As that big AK/NPac trough rotates back west toward the Aleutians and Kamchatka, the PNA and EPO ridge will go back up and we’ll chill back down. Very Nino-like evolution. No pattern has been locking in for very long (clearly…), so I imagine we’ll have opportunities by/after Jan 7-10.
  7. 12z NAM is mostly upper 30s ahead of the front. Almost cold enough that the frontal rain line is frozen… freezing level around 925mb.
  8. How else can you summarize the synoptic environment that led up to the event and describe those 2 runs of the Eta that teased us with 2-4” forecasts before the NGM schooled it at 36 hours out?
  9. Enjoy! Chilly evening. We like it even though it can be crowded.
  10. Got some Troegs blizzard of hops tonight. Will save for a snowy day…Friday??
  11. HM trying to steal @CAPE’s storm…smdh
  12. Euro with a weak scraper. Gives cape cod some light snow. Closer to the GGEM than gfs certainly.
  13. Actually…maybe yes on a -20F day if GFS is right on here
  14. GFS still saying snow for almost everyone after the arctic front
  15. 12z RGEM looks like it has a little snow for the metros after the front Friday.
  16. 22.5 for the low. Beltsville farm fields were 22 just now as I drove through, so wouldn’t be surprised if they were in the upper 10s a couple hours ago.
  17. Looking like we won’t be able to get a -20F day out of this arctic airmass over the weekend. -15F quite possible though. Morning lows (as is often the case) are the hold up. Daytime highs look about 20F BN.
  18. Hope you recover quickly @Clueless! Enjoy the windy frozen mud this holiday season!!
  19. Dude. Just tell me when it's going to snow and how much. K thx bai
