18z has a slp east of HAT... Mod snow falling at 162

It does look pretty on that one frame but I think everyone is worn down from this winter. Nothing has worked out for us so unless it is on the Euro and GFS come Friday night the excitement level will be zilch. Just not our year

Also even then, it's pretty east and also not a ton of precip either. Fringe :( not that it matters at this stage.

I think the main thing here is that there is "something". There's really no way to know what that may be. Remember that in the past weeks "event" we went from a full blown coastal to a low near Iowa to a weaker low tracking e-w south of us. This time it seems the GFS, and not the Euro, is throwing out at least some hope, but it probably the best bet to just focus on Wed and maybe a little light snow and by then we might have some idea about the weekend.

Edit: GFS ens members don't support the op solution for the weekend at all.

I guess if I'm going to post HPC disco when it says what I like, then I guess I'll post it when it isn't so pretty.

CANADA IS COOLED TREMENDOUSLY VIA THE CROSS-POLAR FLOW

INTO THE COUNTRY...BUT THE ARCTIC AIR HAS NO MECHANISM BY WHICH TO

INFILTRATE THE UNITED STATES TO ANY APPRECIABLE DEGREE. THE FLOW

IS ALSO NOT CONDUCIVE TO SIGNIFICANT CYCLOGENESIS...SO EXPECT NO

SPRAWLING AREAS OF ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION.

... It's nearly a week out. Even expecting that kind of consensus is outrageous especially in a year where the models have been bouncing around as much as they have. Come on...at least let rational thoughts prevail over weenie thoughts.

You're asking for quite a lot there, Kenny.

yep, nearly every time it looked like snow here in central md, it was up near pa line and it ended up being mostly rain here. just that kind of winter

The vort pass is OK. I guess it could be something.

The NAM looks cold enough for snow to me. Cold enough at all levels with the exception of the surface. It can snow in the upper 30s, lower 40s and temps could trend cooler with these systems.

i maybe should have said non accumulating snow. it could trend colder but there's no high to the north really. time for something other than conversational snow. or let's just end this battle..

If you do not like conversational snow then you picked the wrong city to live in.
