Euro ensembles are south. Nails the mid-atlantic.

 

They aren't terrible unless you're in New England.

 

it seems the ens have been in lock step with the op a lot recently.  ...so they seemingly shift in unison.

also, pretty  much no place.... philly,,,, and south get any more snow than NNJ on the accu pro snow maps.

Hmm, that is a little concerning. You can always tell when he is in full weenie mode, with the hand movements that are crisp and the tonal inflection, lol. You know....

 

Obviously, the door is still open of course.....

lol ya he was in full weenie mode for the pre-valentines day storm.. that was fun! He had so much energy he tired me out.. We will see hopefully the 18z trends back north..

Real quick breakdown on the 12z JMA FWIW

 

LHV 0.5-0.80" north to south.

 

North of I-80 0.75-1.00" north to south

 

1.00"+ from I-80 south to TTN, including NYC and LI

 

1.25"+ on a stripe from TTN to just south of Philly extending eastward to the central NJ coast.

 

1.00"+ for the rest of NJ south of that stripe.

 

0.75"+ for DCA.

We are now almost within 48 to 60 hours of start time. I think I have heard from some red taggers that within that timeframe the GFS is most accurate.

Rossi you're in a good spot. GFS .75. Euro ensembles .9

Prob looking at 12 to 1. Ur good right now.

Where does it say that? As of 2pm this is what I see.

CURRENT TRENDS ARE FAVOR LESS PHASING...BUT ARE UNCLEAR ABOUT THE

STRENGTH OF THE HIGH. TAKING THESE TRENDS...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL

THAT WE COULD SEE MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRACK TO OUR SE

INSTEAD OF ONE COHERENT STRONGER STORM. THE FIRST LOW SHOULD TRACK

NEAR THE BENCH MARK MONDAY MORNING...AND THE SECOND WELL TO THE

SOUTHEAST OF THE BENCH MARK LATE MONDAY...WITH A THIRD LOW TRACKING

EVEN FARTHER TO THE SE MONDAY NIGHT. BASED ON THIS...STILL EXPECT

SNOW TO DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE SUNDAY EVENING...AND WITH THE LOW

TRACKING FARTHER TO THE SE MONDAY NIGHT...NOW EXPECT SNOW TO END

FROM NW TO SE FAIRLY EARLY MONDAY EVENING. GIVEN THAT THE SOLUTION

IS NOW FAVORING MULTIPLE WEAKER LOWS...VICE ONE MAIN LOW...SHOULD

NOT DRAW AS MOISTURE AS A WHOLE INTO THE REGION. BASED ON

THIS...HAVE REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION

EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES. SEE THE HYDRO SECTION

OF THE AFD FOR DETAILS.

ONE THING THE FARTHER OFFSHORE TRACK FOR THE LOWS DOES

THOUGH...COUPLED WITH THE EXTENSION OF THE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDING IN

TO THE N...IS THAT ANY LOW LEVEL WARM AIR WILL STAY TO OUR

SOUTH...SO THE AREA SHOULD ONLY EXPERIENCE ALL SNOW. THE STRENGTH OF

THE HIGH WILL ULTIMATELY DETERMINE HOW COLD IT GETS...BUT FOR NOW

WOULD EXPECT MORE OF A FLUFFY SNOW THAN A WET SNOW...ESPECIALLY

ACROSS THE INTERIOR. SO THE HIGHER SNOW RATIOS ACROSS THE N COULD

VERY WELL OFFSET THE LOWER QPF.

AS A RESULT...THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REASON TO DEPART FROM PREVIOUS

FORECAST OF AT LEAST 8 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE TRI-STATE FROM

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...IF THE TREND CONTINUES

TOWARDS A MORE SUPPRESSED TO THE S SOLUTION...THEN LOWER AMOUNTS ARE

POSSIBLE...IT IS STILL CONCEIVABLE THAT THE ENTIRE REGION COULD END

UP GETTING NO SNOW AT ALL - THOUGH HIGHLY UNLIKELY. ANOTHER

POSSIBILITY THAT WOULD LOWER SNOW AMOUNTS OVER SOUTHERN ZONES IS

THAT A WEAKER HIGH BUILDS TO THE N THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED...THIS

WOULD ALLOW FOR A WINTRY MIX OVER SOUTHERN ZONES...REDUCING AMOUNTS

THERE. THIS ALSO APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. ANOTHER SOLUTION

STILL POSSIBLE IS THAT THERE IS MORE PHASING THAN CURRENTLY

FORECAST...THIS WOULD BRING THE LOWS...OR MORE LIKELY A SINGLE LOW

TRACKING CLOSER TO THE BENCH MARK...THIS WOULD INCREASE QPF AND

SNOWFALL...BUT COULD ALSO BRING THE LOW LEVEL WARM TONGUE OVER

SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THE

HIGH. THIS IS A MORE REALISTIC POSSIBILITY

They issue other forecasts than their AFD.. I said I agree with their AFD, their detailed forecast calls for Heavy snow accumulations.. You usually don't see the word "heavy" its usually light or moderate..
