Phew, tries to save itself later. Dumps on us. NAM certainly doesn't see this as a milquetoast OTS wave.

even though we'll try (me included), we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that this will do anything other than nailing you know who if it's going to nail anyone

I don't care who claims it to be a neutral ENSO, every event I've seen this year says it's a NINA

You know, what Ian, Randy, and WxUSA should do is take every person who enters a long range thread with these winters over, winter sucks, punt this storm (long range mind you like punting on second down), etc. posts and restrict their privileges so that they can't post in the MA forum until April.

Hey, simmer down. I was just giving an opinion of how this winter has been going and what I feel is coming (which I believe is the first time I ever did this). It's called discouragement. I don't think we need the thought police out patroling the posts because you don't like what someone posted.

Here's a question before I head off to bed.  The NAM is warm with a crappy track,  the GFS has a decent track but isn't as wet and still is not cold enough to snow.  How do we get the cold air and precipitation?  I don't know which set of models is correct. I'll leave that to people either smarter than me or more adventuresome.  I will say no matter what the solution,  I think snow is getting to be a long shot.

and that's probably an understatement

once I saw the 12z dropping the northern stream south and the southern vort stopping to wait, the writing was on the wall

My weenie guess is that the only shot is to get a strong sw to stay a bit more south than the NAM and get a low that bombs on the coast south of us. All of which seems difficult so far.

That is the only way, we need dynamic cooling and if the upper low strengthens too soon the primary will still track to far north which will screw us.  Anyway, time for bed.

Ha...I gave up on the NAM at 72 hours and then i come back and see it does some funny business after. Encouraging...no, not where we want it, but shows us soclose.

 

It seems there is no model agreement at 500mb.

 

The NAM breaks off vorticity up the Appalachians to PA while the remainder of the system redevelops off NC all

of which gives a weak negative tilt system with a warm nose aloft.  This puts the GFS between the

NAM and the EURO.   I guess folks are staying up for GFS to keep hope alive.
