  1. The snow in WV/Northern VA a separate wave on the back end of the initial frontal passage
  2. Better than expected. Many would take this in a heartbeat (although note that the fringes will shrink with time as the forecast gets nailed down)
  3. Seems to me a step in the right direction for the NW gang. Moves a bit towards the idea of the low continuing to develop as it progresses east
  4. Struggling to take seriously a model that spits out this:
  5. Yeah, I feel like the hr 84 NAM tends to be like... "Hey look! A storm!", When sometimes suppression makes more sense
  6. Delayed, but still gets the job done. Lots of ice for coastal areas
  7. I'm definitely worried the phase will just keep getting delayed and it will only be a storm for Wilmington to VA beach
  8. Definitely more east, but still fairly amped. Supports the continued idea of a big hit for the coastal plain
  9. Maybe 80% chance of happening. Storm isn't really supposed to get going until mid-day, even for the more amped solutions
  10. I won't post for fear of confusion, but the Canadian drops one heckuva weenie run in a storm on the 27th
  11. Lol, the triad went from 12" to 2" of snow on the UKMET. Definitely supports the idea not only of more suppressed, but also for significant coastal impacts
  12. Seems like Rocky Mount may end up doing better than the Triad. I have a feeling that although we will have long duration and less mixing issues, dry air may reduce the max potential from playing out
  13. Ok so far we've got Euro and NAM in the amped camp; GFS, icon and RGEM in the suppressed camp, and UKMET and CMC somewhere in between
  14. The 12z GFS will be huge. Whichever direction it moves will be a big indicator of which way things are trending. I will say, I wouldn't worry too much about one run of the Euro. If nothing else, it largely rules out the possibility of over-amplification.
  15. Certainly bad news for central VA. However, the GFS has taken big steps towards more amped, so I think the I-85 corridor is looking good for now
  16. Yeah, I've definitely noticed this on the less amped solutions. Could end up as a SE VA special, depending on the timing of the phase.
  17. At the same time, we saw models bit by bit, speed up the timing of the changeover to sleet. Of course this had mostly go do with the storm slowing down and the ULL cutting west of the Apps. I do think in general, the models had a reasonable grasp on the temp profiles in the end. Point is, I think most of the time outcomes have more to do with the track of the low, strength of the high, etc. than bad physics of the model
