Biggest hit yet

I don't like the setup, it's way too delicate. Only reason this doesn't cut on this run is because of the separation of the northern and southern streams, we get a bit more phasing and it's game over for most of us except for far NW areas.

The storm track was down through Mississippi. I'm not sure I understand your reasoning.

@HR 204. The storm ends as IP/ZR. 

Not according to what I saw, but that's when truncation occurs so I would take anything it shows past 192 with a grain of salt. The energy was much more consolidated this run and slower to develop. I had my doubts early on if we were even going to show a storm this run. Once it got going, boy did it get going.

I'm taking about the upper level setup. It's in no way ideal for a major snowstorm for the metro region. Think this ends up like the December storm. 

The storms that occurred in Feb 1994 had some ugly upper level setups, but the low level cold was able to overwhelm them. Not saying this will be the same, but you can still get a snowstorm in a less than ideal setup.

Actually, it supports the storm pretty well. The storm phases a little late with a piece of the PV and there's a 1028 mB HP over New England, so I'd say that this run is a win.

I agree, not saying it's impossible. Just not ideal. The next week of model watching will be nail-biting for sure.

Yes, but we can't rely on a late phase 180 hrs out to give us the outcome we want. Slight timing difference and it phases in early with a piece of the PV, and the result is not so good anymore. All I'm saying is that there's more or less an equal chance of this storm being a SECS/MECS or an inland runner.
