February 13-14 potential snow storm

We are going to need a strong coastal low with good dynamics in order to see noteworthy accumulating snow from this setup. I like the some of the GEFS members from 00 and 06z were showing CCB development over our area. We don't get good snow in a setup like this with marginal precipitation and weak dynamics.

agreed.  posted the same on the prior page.  You want the Euro pressure in between the GFS/Euro track...

 

Anxious for the Euro!

12z UKMET shows a stronger ridge over Western Canada. This helps the northern stream s/w dig more. This was closer to 12z NAM solution. The 12z GFS has the kicker coming in faster knocking these heights down. Preventing more digging and phasing:

Well that escalated quickly. I really wish there wasn't that low in the great lakes though, and maybe a high around there instead.

If there's a good phase, this can ramp up quickly as it comes up the coast. We also would need enough of a kicker to keep the track offshore. I'm more optimistic for places over NNJ/Hudson Valley than I am for areas like mine for this, but a wound-up enough low on a good track would be good for all. A lot of possibilities still on the table.

exactly - have to realize that the placement of the HP is an important ingredient in any major snowstorm around here

Guys that solution is what it would take to snow all the way to the coast. Just wait for a little continuity. The euro control has been strong all weekend but west. Let's see how the euro handles the slp speed thru the lakes.

That's the piece that holds the center close or kicks it east just enough.

im still amazed at how tight the precip shield is again on western side.

Verbatim the flow isn't able to wrap very far around the western side of the low. There's a CCB because the 500mb low closes off, but it's a relatively small system overall because in part it's being pushed east by the Midwest trough. That's why I somewhat doubt the massively blown up solutions but we'll see what happens. Still a few days left for this.
