PUNTING NEMO

If I was NE of Baltimore, I might have a little hope for some backlash flurries, but most of us are probably not going to see anything.  I see 6z GFS clownmaps show some snow for DC-Baltimore, but surface temps seem above freezing the whole time where it says "snow" is falling.  North of Philly and that area might see a few inches from the CCB/deform zone wrapping up.  

 

I hear you.  I am not delusional, and have zero expectations other than knowing I'll wish that at some point this winter we could get even half of what sne may see this weekend.

In four days this thread will be pinned.  :)

 

I hope so but it's hard to say at this point. Punting it is foolish though. The only difference with 6z is it doesn't leave any ul energy behind next week's cutter. Trough has energy but with a pos tilt it just washes together. A zillion things can change and it's far from a non-event unless you want to take lr surface panels verbatim. That has such a history of working well for forecasting though.

the one thing I can't figure out is how the he!! did the Euro latch onto this thing so far in advance and end up being right

it didn't do that with any of our blizzards in 09/10; in fact, except for maybe 1/96, I don't recall it doing this this far out for any big snow

 

How is anything right, yet?

Yup...9z plumes are better for Baltimore (DC still not up).  Mean is 0.21" snow, but of course, that is biased by outliers (high and low). Here's the link if people want to look:  http://eyewall.met.psu.edu/rich/gefs/Plumes.html

 

I'm still naturally suspicious of wraparound.  It's not impossible, but it's pretty rare and busts often.  That said, places farther south from SNE getting good snow (i.e., NYC) is a better sign of us getting pity flakes.

IE why I think some flakes are possible. I mean I don't know about measurable, but good to see a trend for the better for anyone who hasn't punted (my man WWxluvr :)

We know the ending to this story.

 

BUT, things can't go against us forever.

Looks to me like the boundary layer still is a problem if you switch to the temp plumes.  Anythings possible but the probability for getting accumulating snow is still probabilit around 5%.   I sure wouldn't forecast it. Northeast of baltimore they have a better chance at wrap around.  We're going to need a monumental temp profile bust by the NAM and GFS as the NAM has the 950 temp over plus 3C by  09Z.    I think guys our near Fredreick have a good chance at starting as sleet at onset but don't see that lasting.

Agree Wes.  NE of Baltimore towards Philly has a shot.  Those of us farther SW still have to dream.
