I'm sure the euro will make a big move north. Basically the general consensus is/will be a 4-7" snowstorm for most of us

Listen I'd love if this were the case I just doubt it right now. This shift north is curious for sure but let's not count are chickens before they hatch. Always thought this was a legit threat though with a pure southern stream s/w amplifying up the coast. Definitely favors southern areas but we could all still see a moderate event

Here is the precip map, the GFS seems consistent, maybe this time it's beats the ECMWF'; sometime the Mets also win.

Haha I find that hilarious being a mets fan. Anyway it does rarely occur that the goofus sniffs something out. This would be the time too since it had it for like 12 straight runs before letting it go se and now bringing it back.

Euro's bias could be in play. We will see later.

Ya it does look funky with the ejection of the s/w out of the southwest. We all just assume its right because its the euro, but if there were a specific time where it could be awfully wrong it would be this. Still don't think the euro shows anything significant for our area but it could trend north a bit.

The pattern to me makes sense for a storm to come north-other than the kicker behind it I don't see a major reason why it wouldn't, beyond the progressivity of the overall pattern perhaps. The southern jet storms usually trend north unless there's a huge area of blocking/confluence like 2/6/10 which barred that monster from making it any further. It also just strikes me as odd that the GFS would consistently be NW of the Euro when normally it's reversed. This doesn't look like a huge, crippling kind of storm to me-more like a 4-8" kind of event, but should be a very nice refresher to the snow we're going to lose tomorrow-Weds. I'm guardedly optimistic and hopefully the Euro comes on board.

The Euro is still king even if it didn't see this before the gfs. It's bias is clearly in play here with holding energy back. Didn't someone say it did that with the blizzard of 96 (which I'm certainly not comparing this to). I also really don't think the gfs is as bad as some believe it is. Yes it screws up big sometimes but it can also score big. Perhaps it depends on the type of storm we're looking at.

 

The last storm was a pseudo miller A/B type situation with a late phase, This one looks like a pure miller A to me.
