It literally annihilates the entire EC from what I've seen.

I don't completely understand why it happens with the look of the pattern though I'm guessing it's a triple phase based on the way 500 contours bend.

Listen guys, the chances it happens like that, is very very very slim. Also the fact its 10 days away, I mean come on lol, its simply eye candy, and that's it. That storm as depicte sub 950 mb low, won't be like that this 00z run I bet.

 

Thanks for bringing us all down to Earth. We thought that was going to happen exactly like that...

It's not even the operational Euro. We all know it's pretty much a joke.

Are you serious?  Please don't tell us this!!  We really thought this was a lock....on the control run of the Euro...10 days away.   Thank God for you.   My hopes and dreams are tempered thanks to this sage advice; however I am counting on the storm on the 320 hour GFS.

Fun... -10c 850s Day 7 on 00z EURO tonight.... more cold incoming

 

Huge arctic blast enters US Day 9 with 1044 H... -24c 850s in E ND/W MN... no real warm up in sight... Day 10 airmass moderates some, but 1035 H in the Plains and -10c 850s return with no warm air in sight

 

ETA:  There is a 996 L off the NC coast on Day 9... but its 250 miles SE... so precip should be offshore

Thanks for this! I was about to post on Facebook that the biggest East Coast storm in recorded history was going to annihilate the entire coastline and bury half the seaboard in snow - but your sage perspective has really opened my eyes.

Man this is just nuts!  Here is Larry Cosgrove's write up--the important part anyway: :yikes:

 

The word I use to describe this portion of the forecast is "ugly". Those who need some rain and colder air (California and the Southwest) will instead be dealing with a strong thumb-projection blocking ridge that will chase away any hopes of an easy start to agriculture and resuscitation of lawns to greener times. Others who wish for the mild air to stick around will instead have to deal (incredibly) a siege of record cold air that soul well drive the surface freeze line as low as the Interstate 20 corridor between Abilene TX and Columbia SC. You will note that the 240 hour panel of the 12z Mar 16 ECMWF scheme has a 500MB closed low of 510dcm over Chicago IL! That is a cAk subvortex, rather unusual for late March and supportive of nocturnal readings below 10 deg F in a good chunk of the Midwest. Then the question becomes: will there be a storm accompanying this rather bitter reminder of our winter.

I suspect that there will be, and what concerns me is that a shortwave dropping south and east from Montana may interact with a frontal structure over the Gulf of Mexico on march 24 - 26. The GFS and ECMWF series strongly agree with this scenario, but the European model makes the impulse into a late-season, cold-dominant Nor'easter, tracking from Cape Hatteras NC to Nantucket MA. While probably a "starting as rain" scenario for most of the Interstate 95 corridor, I cannot rule out an important (indeed, heavy....) snow event for Appalachia and portions of the Eastern Seaboard. If a full phasing between the two branches (Polar and Arctic) occurs, then the storm will shift from a "bothersome" designation to "serious".

Bob, I know it is a fantasy storm, but I have travel next week. What is the general timeframe of this set-up? Monday - Wednesday timeframe?

Tues/Wed. Could easily be a big rainstorm if it happens. It's just another period of interest at this point. Confidence of anything happening is pretty low. Sure seems to want to snow around here the last 5 weeks so maybe we're not done yet.

Oh yeah, not counting on a superstorm (snow version). But as this winter has unfolded, no longer immediately dismissive of windows of opportunity for systems.

You people are sick.  I can't believe you're already looking for more snow! 

 

So, how much for N. Bethesda???
