Anybody at least curious about the 7 to 9 day period? Negative NAO, Positive PNA, Negative AO, MJO in or around phase 8 forecasted as of today for that time period. A semi interesting set of solutions in the GFS ens. members.

Any interest there, or a whole lot of nothing?

the Euro looks good for the 3 or 4 states that have the 850 line below zero at D10

Yeah, but....

the EC went from a low north of the lakes and a cold front with warm temps in front of it, and warm temps in our area on its 0z run at 8 days, to a high north of the lakes, weak low pressure to our south, and not so warm temps in our area on its 12z run at 8 days. It's hard for me to see much wrt the EC because of the maps that I have access to.

The GFS also looks interesting.

Just wondering if anybody sees any real potential, or if this is just more teasing.

GFS is likely too cold. 200+ hr. forecast with an upper-level ridge over the Southeast? Yeah, it'll warm up (or should).

We certainly don't need to be looking at run-to-runs in this range.

18Z GFS @ 9-10 days? Odds on that verify are slim and none.

You're right of course, but at least for now it's something. All of the supposed indicators of possible winter weather at least seem to be trending toward what everyone seems to think is good, so who knows. I would definitely think that we are nearing the time of "last reasonable hope" so maybe we get lucky and something pans out.

This winter has left a sour taste in my mouth so I would love to see one more shot of snow.

In a year where a lot of threats have failed to come true I find this hard to believe even with some favorable indices.

1) H5 track at 240 hours is north of us which isn't that favorable even in the middle of winter let alone the tail end. Obviously it can change but I'm not sure it's the best track at all right now this far out.

2) Also note that you used the 18z GFS way out at 240 hours. Take a look at the 12z GFS - obviously there will be wild swings this far out but look at H5 out around the 200+ hour frames on 12z - 850 low is WAY north and H5 tracks significantly north of us. If you're going to use surface maps this far out you gotta look at the general H5 pattern as well. Sure there's potential but I wouldn't say it's an awesome scenario for us. Perhaps it'd be better if we were back in February or Jan.

In fact, H5 pretty much heads over the Great Lakes on the 12z run. Not exactly what we want if you're still looking for any type of snow around here.

did no one see the wierd closed 500 mb low at around hours 120-180 on the gfs? it just sits right off the coast of the delmarva. The block is super south but there is no cold air either

0z ECM trended towards this but it's unlikely to be snow...the vortex that's developed over Baffin Island/Western Greenland is really killing us. Strong pattern change this winter from a powerful -NAO to a +NAO.

It looks like the 00Z and the 06Z had similar solutions at this time frame. I'm starting to get interested. Nah, maybe I'm not.

Storm on the 19th same as the Supermoon? " Moon will be within the nearest to Earth on March 19, 2011, Satellite Earth it will appear larger. At night, something like this happened since 1993, 18 years ago. This phenomenon is called ‘lunar perigee’. Meanwhile, there are astrologers who called it SuperMoon’. "

Interesting thought, but LOL @ using 300 hr. GFS Op.
