does anyone up there believe in the Euro solution?

 

I don't yet.

RGEM and GFS are fairly similar over Montana at 48

you have to not worry about what everyone writes. you make yourself crazy.

I think he thinks what's written here impacts what actually happens, it's odd.

It's been a long winter folks...

 

Remember when this thing was modeled into the Great Lakes and some mets thought the northern / warm tracks were more correct? womp

It's hard to buy either the bomb solution (confluence, PV lurking) or the primary taking it coast to coast and offshore well south (La Nada, hostile environment).  Compromise would be either an open wave or partial redevelopment with a NW->SE stripe of WAA snows.  If that happened I'd guess it would be more like a 4-8" instead of a 12-18".  Hopefully euro holds serve and the compromise solution can be tossed.

most tv mets for friday/Saturday storm is fairly confident on us getting accumulating snow. have not seen that consensus from them in a long time.

Still too early to tell imo. If they want to believe the Euro/GEM, sure. NAM/GFS give most of us a coating to an inch if that's what they're referring to.

Yeah, RGEM and GFS were pretty lock step at 48.  GGEM looked a little more amped at 48 but it may be the maps I was looking at.

 

NAM/GFS/GGEM are all in the same surpressed camp, we toss.

Very similar to Jan 2005.

 

The biggest key is getting it to phase a bit with the energy up by Hudson Bay if we are aiming for a bomb here, otherwise its going to be more like a SWFE or quicker redeveloper....something like the GGEM and other earlier runs of the Euro.

 

 

Oh god - please don't ... I lived in Acton Mass at the time, which is midland Middlesex County, and got s*t from the storm.  We wound up in some kind of negative node of a gravity wave, and at times were down to flurries.  During the max 4-6 hours of the event, that banded bf'ing sat right over us from ~ N Chelmsford to N Marlborough.    As the storm pulled away the deformation band that was NW of us (FIT-MHT or thereabouts) collapsed through and we went to 1/4 vis for all of about 1.5 to 2 hours, and that is when the majority of our 5 or 6 inches came from.  If memory serves we had perhaps 2-3 on the front end, so no, not a total lost in total.  But annoyingly under-performed and rather pedestrian in that band. 

 

People have really selective memories about the grandeur of that event because of their own back yards.  Despite what it did for S-SE of me, it was not the storm of the ilk people thinking because of those screw zones.  The "real" non-fraudulent beasts of yore get everyone - which is why Dec 1992 is kind of a fraud too.  Where it snowed, granted, it was over the top and historical; but it was criminal where it didn't - torture.   Eh, Dec 1992 would have been snowed more uniform/equally if the column was just a tick colder going in, so probably that one is an exception.  

 

I was trying to find that analog page from NCEP but Google keep directing to a D6 -10 analog, which I am not sure is the same product.  I thought you could enter specific dates, interactively, and pull the analogs, but I may be imagining that.

I don't know...suppresion just isn't a huge worry to me.

 

Yeah I'm actually liking where most of the region sits right now. There's definite room for northern solutions.

Suppression definitely cannot be ruled out, but I'm not really that concerned about it right now.
