GFS sticks to it's convective feedback supressed solution.

CF issues? Please elaborate. Not being snarky, just wondering what you think you are seeing.

The 18Z GFS was just a hair slower, relatively same LP movement but less precip on the northern/western edge of the shield. In the big picture, no real change except skimming .1 or so from us on the north edge. Getting nothing into MD really bothersome. Eh. Will watch radar tomorrow morning to see if anything can get into SE Ohio and western WV before I call it quits. If it can get to that latitude, who knows. It will probably crash and dry up as the low intensifies and moves away anyway.

having a real hard tome believing the cold air gets as far south as the models are advertising based on obs and pressure at 6PM

and if the cold air doesn't make it as far south, then storm should come further north

that's my story and I'm sticking with it because there's nothing to lose and it's a boring Sat. eve. :P

Man it's not very scientific, but I hope to hell you are right! I'm having a hard time finding any features to bring this thing more to the north, but I'm hoping for a miracle.

Us weenies throw out the confective feedback issue anytime the models aren't printing out enough QPF in our backyards.

I was out in a t-shirt today and broke a legitimate sweat and I think I even got some sun. I think I'm getting ready to throw in the towel and root for warm. We'll see what the next couple of weeks bring but I'm not going to mind saying goodbye to this winter. This has been the worst threat tracking winter since I joined eastern in 06. At least last winter had some excitement even though we got whiffed alot.

Can't say I've done that. I replaced a bathroom faucet last week and I wanted to kick something afterwards. Putting the new one in was easy but getting the old one out left me with 3 bleeding knuckles and a broken back.

whenever I do plumbing, I end up using a lot of one syllable words that look like **** when I try to type them on this Board

Leave that to the experts who know what they are doing. Do something you do know how to do, follow the weather. I know if you turn suicidal then we have no chance at even a flurry. So i look to your mood to see if we are getting any snow ;) .

meh, the more I look at this radar and see how everything has a near due east component to it, including the stuff in TX, I start looking at the bathroom wondering if there's something to do to pass the time away :(

in fact, there are very, very few surface obs reporting rain outside of states that border the GOM; I like the look of the water vapor, but if I was going on radar only I'd be sweating it

I haven't looked forward to spring since I was in high-school; this winter has done it. It's comical that in a consistently warm - if not torch - winter devoid of any legitimate snow chances, the only significant storm looks to hit south of us.

Worst winter ever.

Not sure if it's the worst (my long term memory isn't what it used to be) but It's a bad one for sure. I hate the long chase for a pattern change too and we suffered.....and suffered....and suffered through basically 2 full months before anything encouraging came along and even then, it's been a flawed pattern.

We got spoiled a bit with having back to back -nao winters and it was easy to think "even though it's a nina, we'll still have a -nao/ao to work with". All the calls for a cold december were huge busts. I don't blame anybody though. There was really no way to predict such an anomalous +nao/ao regime. It's been a winter backbreaker for pretty much the entire country. Last year we suffered alone. This year we suffer with pretty much every winter weather fan in the entire US.

It is what it is though and I don't think it's bothered me nearly as bad as some. I'm interested in ENSO next year. A couple of signs are pointing towards a nino. Time will tell of course. I do know it that it ends up being another nina (not likely) or neutral (pretty likely) we should have low expectations going in and enjoy any surprises.
