I sure wasn't and think I said thought snow was a long shot yesterday when the euro actually looked good. Timing issues and boundary layer problems have always made this low probably event, not impossible, but not likely. That still holds with the probability still low and shrinking unless the euro or GFS jog back west.

The euro ensembles had precip back to DC land last night...a tough combo to beat. But, you could tell the danger was getting fringed with the

moisture as the precip probs dropped off like a rock west of 95. Even the GFS went west at 12z, but needed more work to do for you guys. I would not be shocked at the GFS coming west, but I think you guys really need this low to bomb near the coast like earlier euro runs.

usually when I post in here I try not to be as IMOBY about it since most do not live where I do. Sometimes my inner weenie comes out though. Also, if I am going to be wrong I would rather be wrong saying it wont snow then be surprised in a good way, then to always expect it to snow and be let down over and over and over again (see JI). If I were actually having to make a forecast for the public I would probably have to rethink that approach but I am free of the burden of public safety considerations.

eh, nobody really cares unless you're red tagged, or a Professional Weenie like Ian.

Yeah but who would of thought it would be due to suppression rather than warm temperatures?

I know there's a big difference between my location and DC wrt temps during a marginal event, but I've always felt that I miss more events because of lack of precip than lack of cold. Sure if it's 50 and rain you could say its temps but that's not really what we are talking about. Events like that never had a chance to be snow.

not sure what you see...it looks like a strung out mess at H5 to me

While I agree, i'm not willing to take this run verbatim until waiting for the euro. GFS is well known for suppression bias. You only need to look back a couple weeks ago when it had Sandy going way out to sea.

I think the evidence is becoming stacked against us here...the RGEM/NAM/SREF/UKMET/GFS now all east, the 12z euro is all we have left that gives any precip to the area

That was the quickest ending of all time. Went from 0Z last night looking good, 12Z not bad, and 0Z tonight, disaster struck.

Hopefully people will blast the Euro for a few days to get back for last week's overpraise.
