He's not the only one. Just awful, fits right in with our snowfall map at day 5 discussions.

I just got word that I got an internship offer to forecast at accuweather this summer. Good thing their forecasting division is separate from their web people. Ugh.

It's one thing to create the forecast, which I'm sure is accurate enough. It's a whole other thing to start the hype machine like that. Seriously two of the worst storms to ever affect the East Coast.

There's just so much time left in this one, really.  At 4-5 days it's an eternity.  Granted our chances do not look great, this is not the ideal pattern, but who knows what'll happen? 

 

Every single one of the Cape scrappers in the earlier pattern was south of where this one is now at 4 days.  So who knows?

Agreed completely. Not a good approach, especially to snow starved DC'ers who will likely be disappointed.

 

I mean the first thought that comes to mind when Ash Wednesday is brought up, at least for me, is massive coastal damage. The fact that this storm will not be doing a loop, and 4 day stall, coupled with the fact that it won't have five tide cycles and astronomical high tides at the same time will make it pale in comparison there. Just a poor choice of analog. That comparison found it's way into the Bangor newspapers.

 

Even with the meager central pressure, the strong high to the north will produce a nice gradient. KHAT seeing 50-60 knot gusts won't surprise me. But the duration will be so much shorter than 1962.

I just don't get the point. Even in RIC it'll be insanely hard to get heavy accums. On fb, he's saying the GFS snowfall is "underdone" and it's showing 7-10". It just pisses me off. Lol

Dynamics will help under the upper level low for RIC/CHO/ORF. I think they have a chance for heavy accumulation especially if the low closes off a little later.

If this misses and with the models now collapsing the cold pattern and stormy look.. Could this be another snowless March?

 

I don't see a pattern collapsing with the -NAO progged. Naturally chances for snow decrease as we head through March. Cutter near the 12th possibly, and then the NAO reloads.
