The whole thing is suspect from the Carolina's all the way up to D.E.M. and points E to about the 70th longitude...

 

That much surreal power in mid level jet mechanics will induce upper envelope Q-vector forcing, and together with mid level cold working over the Gulf Stream ... anyone sane has to wonder if that much instability is well handled.  Something special should really explode there and do it with exceptional rapidity to put it lightly.  Faster and feed back faster than even the higher res Euro has been showing at that.  That's what it looks like to me.  

 

Then I see the 18z GFS at least try to acknowledge this stuff.. but it is another ensemble afterthought, so taken for whatever lesser worth. It may also be that Canadian shield impulse is getting into a denser sampling net, too 

 

In any event... I don't think this was ever a very solid looking snow event S. of about 45N for anyone.  The impetus for me all along was the storm genesis and using early signaling and that much was fine.  As to impact in general ... I think that it will be too warm for much snow SE of a KHPN - KMHT line (or so); but who knows... So much dynamical forcing and some pretty cold air at 700mb may punch threw..   Yes a few runs over the last span of days had occasionally depicted better cold ... But I'm of the school where if I get s flurry and some grains out of the deal, with the aroma of wood smoke in the air, that's a wonderfully sentiment vibe when knowing we got ALL of Novy through Feb in route.   

 

There will be rapid cyclogenesis, but it is a shame it's sort of a dualing low type deal. All those things you mentioned would have carved a hole in the atmosphere east of HSE...there already will be a semblance of that, but a single low would have all the baroclinic energy in the world to gobble up.

No it's not, and it's clearly an outlier as long as it's an outlier.

He gets really pissed at the "happy hour" references.

Oh well that's just a running joke. Last couple of winters the 18z run had seemed to spit out some kooky solutions. I know on a larger scale the differences in verification score are negligible, but it was giving us some entertainment on several threats.

I know it is, my comments were mostly a joke as well. But it does bug him.

 

I do believe I read somewhere that at this time frame, the 18z GFS is statistically the most accurate model when it comes out, as compared to the 12z ECMWF for instance, but that obviously doesn't mean it's right when it has no support.

Exactly, The focus had been on that one making this more convoluted with the second wave, Maybe the focus was on the wrong wave?

 

 

You almost wonder with all the 12z models today if we're moving away from the idea of 2 separate lows and models are converging on low # 1 being the only deal..or just 1 low instead of 2. WTF

 

My thoughts as well earlier and looks like it may change to more of a one low focus
