What does the Euro picking up on and trending the colder BL tell you though? For a model that usually has a warmer type 2m bias?

Well there is def some high pressure to our NW building in from the northern stream induced confluence. That will probably be what stops this from tracking over our heads and put a limit on this...but it doesn't necessarily tell us a whole lot about the mid-level temps. I don't know where it will trend from here...maybe it just wobbles a bit and stays put which is what often happens...sometimes it ticks a little more north which could def happen too.

It does start off the 0C 850 line kind of far south at 06z Friday before precip starts which was probably the main difference between the Euro and GFS...it did build in the ML cold air a little better initially, but then the strong LLJ really ripped it back north by 12z to just about over your head before it collapsed back SE.

It does start off the 0C 850 line kind of far south at 06z Friday before precip starts which was probably the main difference between the Euro and GFS...it did build in the ML cold air a little better initially, but then the strong LLJ really ripped it back north by 12z to just about over your head before it collapsed back SE.

So to me ..and I know everyone thinks I'm an idiot ..that says that it actually trended closer to the NAM/Sref's(which are too cold) than it did the GFS from it's 00z run

I've had that one in the back of my mind given the craptastic pattern this is.  Seeing that we are a month later you'd think just based on that, those same ares should do a little better.

Hard to compare a bombing 12/8 type storm to this. Also there is more confluence building in. Pike special I would assume with little resemblance to the 12/8 storm.

I thought it trended away from the NAM SREFs because it rips the warmth back north a bit after 06z. That may be true or false...tough to say. All we are trying to tell you is that it's close to being a very minor deal for you..but hopefully it trends colder.

The wunderground maps are out....and there is a ton of evap cooling between 42h and 45h (09z Fri)...it actually rips the 850 0C line down to like LI sound for a time before lifting it back up over Kevin's head at 12z.

The weenie snow algorithm on there really loves weenie ridge to get smoked.

Wetbulbing will be big in this I think.

good event to be near dendrite's place.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Either I get the deformationhang backs snow to pile up a couple of inches or I make up for it in a warmer, higher QPF scenario. There's no BL concerns here either.

Scoot...idk if you knew this, but I just realized the "RH" on the WU maps is the H5-H7-H85 mean.

No way..how did you know?

There's probably going to be two snow maxima...one just north of the mix line like is often the case in these setups (12/13/07, 12/19/08) and another where some weenie band forms well to the north of that.
