Storm next weekend has better teleconnector support than this misery ever did

[Ian]

my first x-mas in ct since i left -- so 05. lookin' good... man the 18z gfs makes me feel like a sne weenie again

[OSUmetstud]

GFS still looks about 18 hours faster than the Euro...Euro reaches the benchmark at 00z on the 27th...GFS is around 06z on the 26th.

Man Oman if we get burned again LOL GFS has this for a lot of us with high ratios

Will you bring your MA snow magnet this time?

looks like there is decent support for something... im torn i guess because things have been sorta progressive so far this yr but there has been a tendency for bombing with latitude and this looks like a climo favored storm. i think some snow will fall at least! fingers crossed.

ha well this could be my storm of the winter so i'll see what i can do

Let's get this in here sooner like X-mas day rather than slower like the Euro has

A Christmas storm will go over well with the family... "Why do you keep looking at the computer... we have company!"

HM last night said couple more Euro runs, then lock it, well one down.

later is better for a bigger storm

Don't really agree. later it comes less chance it has to slow down and dump as the NAO relaxes

Christmas week so the kids will love it. Slower means less chance of coastal issues and more snow for everyone .

The northern shortwave can't phase if that southern shortwave is too fast

I was reprimanded recently for checking in on the droid during a family get together. Oops.

Dude HM and DT both explained why slower is better for US and just for the reason you stated. Archambault!

Enjoy whatever happens weenies.

Looks like sunny upper 50s in Orlando for me.

I'm still kinda surprised at the relatively low QPF advertised by the GFS, given the strength of the storm and what would appear to be a pretty good connection to the GOM

Remind them what happened to Luke Skywalker when he forgot to check on his droid...

I get reprimanded everyday because of my sickness and my girlfriend the IPAD but two minutes later it's , hey babe when are we going to get some snow, I want to wear my new snow pants and go snowshoeing, eh could be worse could be bar hopping.

It really would be a Christmas miracle.

For you maybe

1" qpf for you for that type of storm seems kinda low.

I was just scanning through the thread really fast, and I had a really delayed double take with this post

I'm trying to not get too overboard lately. I can be obsessive about it. The last few storms have been anti-climatic so I'm glad I didn't get completely invested. I am, however, getting more and more intrigued by the weekend event. Would really love to have it happen as we'll have lots of guests and it will be fun to have a raging N'or Easter piling the snow up. Ice is thick enough here for snowmobiles now, I saw two guys ice fishing and running gear out by machine this afternoon. We just need to bolster the fairly meager snowpack.

He may be honking like a stuck pig.

For anybody. Just because you may be "content" with what you see, doesn't mean you just accept it for what it is.

I'm looking at beautiful cyclogenesis just south of the region, very well timed for intense dynamics over SNE, along with excellent moisture transport northward, as can be shown by the 850mb and 700mb RH fields. I know it's a relatively progressive system, but I'm not looking at the totals, I'm looking at the 6hr QPF periods, and thinking there would likely be a larger swath of .25" to .5" with a decent stripe of .5" to .75" ... in contrast to what is shown.

Isn't focusing on QPF output at this stagfe of the game putting the cart before the ox?

I don't care what the QPF shows at this timeframe, except for morbid curiosity. I'd be more concerned about synoptics, phasing, track.
