Not expecting much from the gfs when that does come here shortly, but 6z was headed in a better direction at least.
Like bob, love what I see on the icon.
I mean it is the JMA, yes it means very little, but it can't possibly hurt to have it where it does. Shows there's still run to run variance in SOME modeling. The NAM being north also means little, but again if we're going to see any type of trend start, then this is how it has to happen lol.
Positive takeaway if there is one is that it showed that bump north with a pretty mundane evolution at the upper levels overall. If it were more amped like a few of the others with the s/w, we could have a more robust and a bit "norther" outcome.
0z was a decent tick north with features overall and a sloppy-ish phase with the N/s bowling ball diving in. I'd say so far this 12z looks like its not going to be much improvement if any over 0z, don't think it'll make the phase work (i.e. the GEM)
The 6z EPS was very promising from a graphic I saw on Maue's page this morning, lots of lows tucked closely into the coast, right off ORF. Mean snowfall in DC was an increase, but there were also a number of lows inland over NC and the Potomac.
Just think this, I am 20 and have experienced 10"+ events on 1/26/11, 2/13/14, 12/19/09, 2/5/10, 2/10/10, 2/12/06, 1/25/00, 1/7/96, and PDII
11,14,20,32,21,14,19/20,26, and 34.
Impressive I'd say.
