while everybody trisects temps I'm going out for the afternoon with this in my head. GFS has been a total statue for almost 48 hours.

So if I'm understanding you right your saying forget the temps? If we have an h5 like that the 850's wont matter with that much lift in the atmosphere and it will make the 850's crash correct? Or am I totally off basis.

Temp have always been a worry. I've said that for a couple days. But temp problems with this 850 / 500 track is exponentially easier on the nerves than overhead or to the w. That's a kiss of death. 

 

This setup in mid Feb is probably all snow for the cities n-w at least 75% of the time. Now isn't the time to freak. We can do that tomorrow night.

Positives: Not suppressed, not OTS and wet.

 

No cold, there s a reason  to worry about temps at this time.

 

Fixed it for you.  Having no high or even decent cold air to start with makes it tough to get snow with a weakening upper system. We need mega lifting.  I'm not ready to punt but think our chances of breaking our 2 inch famine is not that great.

Wes is throwing rocks because he lives s&e. 

 

just kiddin wes. It's a crawl walk run and fraught with problems. But still the best shot @ knocking down the streak all year (that's not saying much though.lol). 

Can't argue with that!  It sure is about the best shot we've had for a long time, but it's going to be tricky.

Not with it's track unless the 850 low goes south of us. I don't thinnk it ipmpossible to gt a snowstorm out of this but think it is a uphill battle. especially for folks inside the bletway or east of I95.

Uphill is the only way we know how to go.

5 runs in a row of improving vort pass for us. We need more dig or God forbid it closes off......

I'm optimistic because these usually give us snow as shown but if it's the exception it is what it is.

Temps are of course a concern but there really is no sense digging into every possible outcome until 24-36 hours out. We've all seen these models look colder at that range. ANy event in this awful winter will be gross and terrible and highly flawed at best. Yeah, some folks in the area are going to get totally screwed with cold rain.

Clueless the precip type maps come out early

I honestly don't even look at the GGEM it's useless. The RGEM, not so much (though it did miss the snowfall in CT for past storm)

 

While this week's storm could be hit or miss, anyone not excited for the upcoming pattern is blind...NAO could tank, would be surprised if there is not at least 1 big storm till the end of winter.
