Potential winter threats

what makes this possible, is there is a vortex or cutoff at h5 sitting over the lakes at hr 174...this pumps the ridge along the east coast negatively tilted and allows the storm to flow right around it right into long island...

How big a storm is this 240-hour threat? 4+ inches? 8+ inches?

At 174 hours (before the storm arrives), the total QPF map shows about 1" for Philly, and 1.5" for NYC (numbers go gradually from 1 to 1.5 as yo head from Philly to NYC)

At 222 hours, Philly has about 1.75" of QPF, but that goes up drastically as you head NE...all of Central NJ has 2.5 to 3" of QPF, and NYC/LI has over 3" of QPF.

So, this storm looks like .75" of QPF as snow in Philly, and 1 to 1.5" of QPF as snow in Central Jersey, and 1.5", or even slightly more than that as snow for NYC.

These maps are annoying to read, so this could be off, but I tried.

ok i through this together really quickly. Im going to start from greatest amt to least amount. basically take 20 miles east of nyc and draw a line straight down thats that seperates snow from rain

I got a little extra giggity in me giggity this afternoon.....what an epic run of the Euro....should be a fun week of tracking, to say the least. If the storm were to happen as progged, we would truly be in uncharted territory during this ENSO event (as Don S eloquently pointed out) ..fun times especially for the youngsters.

Basically puts us CNJ folks in the jackpot. Unlikely to stay with this solution, but it's a testament to what can happen in a pattern with historic blocking. Not impossible.

Does that low get pulled NW because the trough goes negative or is it a combination of the block + 50/50 forcing it to go underneath WHEN the trough goes negative?

Is the euro at least cold enough for all snow, or what's the deal with that? Oh and yeah Day 10 events work out about 5% of the time as originally depicted so if we're in the bulls eye at Day 10, that's probably not going to work out, but the Day 5 event could. I think it might.

unless our days have shortened to 19.2 hrs a day this is not a day 10 threat.
