Yea that storm was a rounded wave overrunning event as well. It was bitterly cold and snowed In the low 20s just like the 18z gfs. I’m sure the GFS will be different in 6 hours but we can dream .

I still don’t think the 13th will cut like the GFS. Regardless, todays 18z gfs reminded me of Feb 2-3 96 .

Btw, 6z eps/control made big steps towards a cmc like solution for the 13th with better confluence and a farther E wave at end of run… I have a feeling 12z runs today might be fun. .

It’s a flat out joke. These are back to back runs under 26 hours. Yea, I guess in a way you can say it’s picked up on some trends at 12z so it adjusted, but what’s the point of running it beyond 24 hours if it does this crap? Always use it as a strictly nowcast tool never a forecasting one beyond a day. Lesson for the newbies .

This is why the NAM needs to be retired already. I guess you can use it for last second trends, but you can never trust it altogether. .

Weenie runs tonight, gfs has a weak sauce lead wave so it’s just a giant cutter for 13th, but it leads to a pretty sick pattern. Cmc a tick or two away from perfection .

Weenie OPs tonight .

Read my post above, sometimes I just feel it . .

Actually it does work just barely. .

Cmc made a big step towards making the 13th wave a player, gfs scenario obv wouldn’t. .

I think the wave on the 13th has some potential. This was the 18z control (just showing as an example). That’s a decent UlL parked over the lakes. Roll it forward and I Wonder if it can fight off that wave and force it farther S/E Here was the 12z euro. I don’t think it would take too much to make this more favorable. Weaker main wave or better confluence. Maybe models adjust to the cosmic barrier .

Lol, I actually am a little intrigued if the 13th cutter works out and trends SE. right about this range is where models could suddenly show a large shift. Euro really wasn’t too far off. .

Yea I bet it Canadian played out it still wouldn’t result .

I’m not making anti-snow predictions. Just calling it how I see it. I want it to snow probably more than anyone on these forums. When it looks like a snowstorm is coming I’ll be excited as anyone, I’m probably the biggest weenie on here, didn’t you catch my posts on New Year’s Eve when we got those good runs? I’m as frustrated as anyone. We’re getting stiffed tomorrow and then the 6z gefs looks like this. All I was saying is our next legit shot is probably post Jan 16th. It’s really unbelievable how long -PNA has been disrupting our patterns during the winter. I guess being that we’re in a strong nino just have to be patient for 2nd half of winter

I have an uncle that lives in Azalea Oregon maybe I’ll set up shop over there, Jesus .

I don’t see much hope over the next 10-12 days. Pac is screwing us again even with the monster block. MJO no good. Imo It’s whether we can score between 18th and beyond once the lower heights finally migrate east. Certainly have the risk of going cold and dry before pattern reset though. Who knows. Frustrating honestly. Maybe I’ll ride up to the poconos tomorrow. .

It may never snow again. Just wanted to put it out there again .

Yes! Was going to mention that’s an anafrontal setup if altered a little bit. Didn’t want to get trolled too much lol And to those saying stop analyzing day 10 maps. I know it’s 10 days, but you can still get a an idea that you might have a storm threat in the range. I like to see OPs show a path to victory ina given pattern. Storms never really pop out of nowhere. We’ve been tracking Saturday’s storm for over 240 hours .

This boundary type system could work if the N/S pushes out ahead a little farther E or the stj wave is slower/delayed .

This is potentially turning into a chase worthy event. Didn’t think that was even possible few days ago. I’ll think about it you lucky dogs .

There could def be a time period where the lower heights under the block overwhelm. Until I actually see a west ridge on the OPs under 7-8 days I won’t believe. Pattern has potential, but im at the show me stage. Until then I’ll just assume the block will act like the blocks we’ve had the last few years .

I agree with cape, I think the KU/big dog potential is around then if that’s legit. We get the big ones once the block starts to break down. Probably see some front enders (especially for N&W) until we can pop a ridge out west. .

Send in the clowns .

18z euro prob gonna bump N again if I were to guess. Weaker confluence and stronger shortwave .

Yea it’s a toaster bath for dc-Philly etc. Think the inch less streak continues unfortunately. .
