  1. Maybe. I suspect this will be a DC to Boston special, but who knows. We need the phasing to occur much sooner.
  2. This is a pretty decent look right now. I don't necessarily trust the Miller b-like transfer the GFS has. We need phasing to happen sooner to a avoid major p-type and temp issues for nearly everyone
  3. Ofshore low that hits New England hard. Light snow for coastal areas
  4. Baby steps in right direction continue. Still, looking like a thread the needle though
  5. Dude... focus on what you're doing. The weather can wait. This coming frome someone sometimes tempted to do the same
  6. Modeling isn't putting us in a bullseye. That particular run is. You have to think about all the model runs existing along a probability distribution. Right now, that distribution pretty much includes all possible outcomes, but favors a big storm more than usual. Lack of deep arctic air is the biggest factor preventing the distribution from skewing more towards a big storm.
  7. First is the upcoming threat. The second image is last Sunday's storm at a similar range
  8. Well, we have our answer, dry air such as this can't completely sublimate falling snow
  9. I fear any east coast bombs that develop this year will inevitably take on a dreaded messy miller b track.
  10. Also, starting to see some banding on the northern fringe show up on the hires models. Wouldn't be surprised to get nothing hardly any snow, except for one band that moves through, dropping a quick half inch
  11. The 17z HRRR move the moisture inland more rapidly. Starts to blossom along the coast at around 5 pm
  12. They've done a great job with this storm, given the hand they've been dealt.
  13. The hires NAM reflectivity map looks great, but the precip map shows zero in the Triad. Will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
  14. Some notes for the Triad The trends east on the last few runs of the HRRR/RAP seem to be due to a layer of dry air not far above the surface. Could be hard to overcome. Compare this to last night's sounding at GSO when very light snow was falling. Even with dry air working in from the front, the column is fairly well saturated. Finally, you can see this layer of dry air just above the surface already showing up this morning, so the HRRR, may, unfortunately be correct.
  15. Odd sounding, dry air all the way up the column. Not sure if this would yield precip, or what
  16. Almost reminds me of lake effect snow showers in Pittsburgh. At least you can get decent squalls with that, but it amazes me how any given January day, there's a high chance of seeing light snow showers. Kinda takes the fun out snow.
  17. Sounding that does not inspire confidence (although much improved a few hours later). We'll see hours upon hours of flizzard conditions, with a 3-6 hour window for light to moderate accumulations
  18. GFS very similar to last run. A light to moderate snowstorm for most of the sub
