That could be why I like Twitter so much

Yeah I feel like I've skied with him enough to know he would not forecast a blizzard right now, lol. He would even probably say the chances of rain or a whiff are much higher than a blizzard. But you also know who your followers are on social media, and they'd rather hear about the 10% chance of a blizzard than the 90% chance of not getting one.

but - it's not like it's some exclusive club. there are hundreds of millions of people on Twitter :lol:

 

i could see that as more appropriate on here than on twitter.

yeah the ensemble mean actually looked healthier. the GGEM sort of had that strung out / disorganized look too. especially early on.

There's like three separate vort maxes in succession coming down around the base of the trough on the models. The whole mid level fields have some massive areas of circulation, like the 700mb closed low is over NW New York State on some of these. I could see a big area of light to moderate snow over a lot of the region if it doesn't wrap up quickly.

I personally am waiting another 24 hours before passing judgement on this potential storm, right now it looks like the models are having difficulties with the setup over the North Atlantic Ocean and the Polar Vortex that moves out in time.  This is all dependent on the potential shortwave phasing between the arctic jet potentially, and the northern and southern stream systems, honestly it looks like models have abandoned the potential southern stream shortwave.

Tim Kelly lost it this summer with the 2 hurricane for new England scenario which he pieced together with logic that would get some on here 5 posted.

 

That being said I still enjoy his forecasts and I think you just have to realize he tend's to hype on twitter....that's what he tends to do. I don't think he'll be mentioning 05' in the air but that wouldn't shock me if he did...he does seem like a really cool guy. I mean he ski's ...and surf's two things that I love.

 

James I really enjoy your posts as well and I personally  hope you wake up jan 3'rd to so much snow you can't stop smiling.

i don't like the trends on the euro. higher heights ahead of the storm, weaker davis strait blocking. this could wind up cutting

 

Probably because the disturbance is stronger as it moves through the plains. I think the offshore tracks are almost off the table now. The saving grace is that the pattern is still more or less progressive as the PNA ridge flattens out as the low gets going.

Thanks, I try, maybe too hard.  That would be awesome to get a lot of snow from this storm.

I'm not even ruling out some taint here...I wouldn't be so sure.

 

Thing is I'm not sure myself, but with a semi block present, the pattern isn't the same as it has been previously.  In fact even during a period of +NAO and -PNA, you can get days where a -NAO and +PNA show up at 500mb.  The 2-4th is one of those times.

Euro ensembles were a good hit too. I still think we may see a bit more progression than modeled. But, that is good because this would

Try to go over us otherwise.

What I have inferred from you is that it will likely be a 6-12" event, as opposed to the currently modeled 1-2'.

I don't think anything really has it modeled as 1 to 2 feet though

There is only really one piece of guidance that shows 1-2 feet...and that is the Canadian. The Euro maybe shows a foot or so.

 

 

It is way too early anyway to be discussing totals. Maybe tomorrow night you can start getting a general idea. This could still be a minor event.
