...that's a continuation of his previous tweet:

@RaleighWx

Nor'easter to bring wind, strong winds, more beach erosion to Northeast Wednesday-Friday. Euro shows band of 4-8 inches from central/eastern

He's just reading off what the Euro says... not making a forecast.

Oh ok my mistake , i thought that was a forecast.

This is from Justin Berk's FB post:

"The Nor'Easter- My FIRST call: It is for Wed-Thu (grey zone in key should read Thu am)

To this point, I have shared some computer models with my interpretation. I want to let you know that forecasting the weather comes in two parts. First in the long range is seeing the storm form. Then within 3 days, is trying to figure out exactly what that storm will do. There will be some adjustment as we get closer, and I NEVER give snow amounts more than 2 1/2 days away. Monday evening I will 'go there'."

Well I did say "some" which around me could be non-accumulating of course. But for whatever reason I'm not ready to close the door on accumulation even imby. It's a solidly cold preceding air mass -- perhaps laying the groundwork for a surprise. Even the Euro ens mean has been giving us accum outside elevation.. tho 12z trended downward and is much lighter than the op. Euro op is certainly a solution I would not bet on until I see it a few more times and with support.

I was just poking a little fun at the whole thing. I'm unusually in the middle on this one. I'm not discounting or buying in. It's actually making it kinda easy with each model run.

There clearly seems to be a chance here. And its an unlikely time of year for a "chance". Maybe it's a new trend? Oct snow last year was beyond unlikely.

If the euro holds tomorrow night and other guidance comes in line then I guess I'm forced to let weenieness take over. For now i'll continue to enjoy the pro's posts and not worry one way or the other.

True, and these 21z SREF's don't have the new balloon data until the 03z runs. Look at what models comprise the SREF's to begin with, they are newly improved, but still not the best.

The whole new data thing really doesn't apply. We've talked about that before. The spread in the SREFs is what makes them questionable beyond 60hrs, but admittedly we have not seen how the improved SREFs handle these types of lows.

Sorry to clutter the thread, it seems in the link you sent the latest sref (21z) is not out yet, were you referring to that when you said the mean was offshore? Just curious.

i guess it was 15z.. miscalculated time change.
