Dude it's over. I am not going to see a flake of snow. This is wire to wire to rain 95% of SNE. The Euro isn't done coming NW yet. When I saw the GEFS have some amped solutions last nite I knew we were cooked. This is over.

You would still flip to SN on the euro. I think you'll see some, unless this comes over PVD.

Euro and its ensembles are dead on which is a tough combo to beat. Obviously there is wiggle room this far out, but I don't see a significant correction east like the SREFs have.

They were pretty dead on at 12z too, I think it has room to shift a little more nw but not much. CP is obviously torched except for maybe a quick flip on the way out, unlikely to win Jerry's bet sadly. We'll have to hope for the scraper to come in this weekend.

It is warm out there and the cold air is expected to get here later and later now it seems. Yesterday at this time it looked like we would be falling in temps by this afternoon, now its not until tomorrow morning. The flow just never switches from persistent SWly aloft... yesterday it was progged to turn more WNWly and get the boundary to sag southeast about 12-18 hours earlier. Its going to be really hard to get cold air to move southeast... basically need to have the surface low pass us by to really advect it in.

I'm following through with your thoughts on this storm until proven wrong...lol.

6z nam and gfs look similar to 00z...both flip me to snow 5-6a Thursday...and I might get 1-3" after that although surface temps look warm.

With the 3-6" forecasts that came out there will def. be delay/snow day talk at school...and if I have to see torching 12z runs while people talk about a snow day I'm going to be in a really bad mood. :lol:

Dude it's over. The Euro isn't done coming NW. I won;t be shocked if only far NNE gets snow out of this. There is 0 reason to invest any emotion into this for snow. It's all rain. When Will loses it in threads you know it's over

Well you and him have similar climo so when he gets down on it...so do you. We didn't have too much hope this way to start with, really. I still think you'll see a brief flip unless this comes way nw again.

This was a pretty hostile pattern to start with which means everything has to go right. This is why a couple of days ago I was saying a whiff was the least of the problems..especially when guidance started coming close. No blocking + PV north of Hudson Bay + southern stream S/W = NW trend. I was more pessimistic for my area, but it can still apply for a good chunk of NE. Sometimes they can thread it just right...you don't know....but when we saw the big jump in the guidance from 00z yesterday to 12z yesterday...it was on. There is probably enough time for wiggle room, which would have more of an impact in sensible wx for people like Will to Pete.

Big shift from your normal attitude. I still think you are in the game if the temps can cool quick enough. You have a legit chance of having the ground at least white. Even the EURO hits you with a few inches on the backside.

Canadian regional and NAM combo wouldn't be too bad.

Everything but the ECM and its ensembles wouldn't be too bad for most of the interior and high terrain.

Plus we gotta keep expectations in check... I think if you end up with white on your lawn after this then that "isn't too bad." If people were expecting snow banks they were setting themselves up for failure anyway in this pattern.

That about sums up the next few weeks more than likely. I have hope for the calendar change into 2012, but 2011 may be a dead ratter if we don't see an immediate change in the 12z runs.

Can't say this wasn't telegraphed awhile ago. I mean who'd have thought we couldn't get snow when the BL is so warm it's almost 60 all night.

EC ens are amped up like the op. I'm probably in a brief RA to +SN scenario as of now, but these 6-12hrly jumps NW are pretty large and there's no sign of stopping yet.

Apologies to snownh for getting on him about trolling SNE with a NW trend days ago....although the trolling was wrong it ended up verifying that way. That was when the s/w was modeled by everything to be flat as a board when it reached our region though. Obviously that will not be the case. :lol:

Thank you dendrite, ill forgive you if you take the 5/day off for the obs of this storm...lol

Love the look of the NAM for this area.. we could get killed dendrite

Srefs crush CNE
