  1. Ding ding ding NAO isn’t as critical. (Virtually) No way DC is getting 18” with a +AO. But that PNA is basically ideal, so a better than normal event is possible on that basis alone.
  2. Ugh, hate that gap in the 30”+ amounts over my house. Hope I can get a favorable trend soon.
  3. A mostly zonal pattern across the CONUS with cold air north of the boundary and warm air south. It’s a classic pattern for overrunning events.
  4. Yup. A straight up Miller B scenario is destined to fail when the Atlantic side looks like it does in this scenario. Got to have the southern stream involved, but also don’t want a cutoff southern low. This thing is going to be complicated and complicated rarely works for us, especially in a Niña.
  5. Low of 12.4. Second coldest morning this winter. If only we had a little snowcover…would have been easy single digits.
  6. Congrats all. My sister lives in Cary, NC, and reports “about 3 inches”. She and my nieces are very excited!
  7. It’s up to you all, but we have a pinned thread for this storm. You’re welcome and encouraged to use it!
  8. Damn...for at least the 140-162hr period, the Euro evolution is way more classic, simple, and pretty than the convoluted hot messes that the GFS and GGEM show.
  9. The northern stream wave that the GFS phases into the monster just scoots through the Lakes quickly on the GGEM. But then this beastly closed 500mb low appears out of nowhere and partially phases. Both look like very simple and clean solutions, so obviously a lot of model consistency coming up!
  10. GGEM and GFS both working slowly in the right direction for Tuesday next week with more spacing between the northern and southern waves. Need that to continue so the northern stream can drag the cold air in enough. GGEM today is very close to that and has a strong enough southern wave to flip us to 1-3" of snow after some rain by dragging in some colder air.
  11. Just your standard mid-latitude cyclone with a cold conveyor belt extending down to the Bahamas.
  12. At hour 150 I hit the “Prev. Run” and “Next Run” buttons on TT like 6 times because I thought I was looking at the wrong thing. To be generous, 6z looks like it got bad chili. 12z isn’t THAT different from earlier runs at that point.
  13. Updated thread title because I’m still planning for 10” more of January snow
  14. Wow...I actually think I had this happen today. Heard a small boom from just outside the back of my house.
  15. 14.7 is the morning low IMBY
  16. Snowshoe people @Potvinsux @jonjon and others: is April a bad time to visit? Looking for a small spring break trip somewhere with the family. Guessing it might be a lot of 40-50F clouds and wind?
  17. Ridge axis over Boise is classic. But that +AO and +NAO should temper everyone’s hope for a KU.
