It's the only thing out on the RGEM, but here's a link to the vertical motion map at 48 hrs....I see no problem with it

http://weather.gc.ca/data/model_forecast/770_100.gif

 

The meteocentre maps has the transfer ongoing as of 48H (Friday 7pm)...it looks like the transfer would be complete by the next panel, popping off the SC coast, due south of ILM.  Through 7pm, about 0.25" has fallen with a slug of precip inbound.

The 6Z RGEM goes until 60 hours so in the morning we will know everything.

Let's forget the 2' vs 3' arguments for a minute.....this has been a remarkable performance by the models. They latched on to this thing IIRC on Friday afternoon and have held it like a rock since. Yeah some shifts here and there but wow.

This is at least the second time you've congratulated the models tonight. That's like congratulating a football team on its win before the game has started! Let's see what actually pans out before congratulating a model. I think you could be singing a different tune when this turns into a Philly special and we get a crusty 6 inches...

Question

By all radar representation at 8pm this clipper was to be out of here by 9.

Does its slowness to depart in any way indicate that the big snow system will also be slow moving?

no, this snow moving slower has no relation to why the large storm will be long duration.

the storm this weekend is progged mostly to get captured...the upper level low gets cut off from the flow somewhat and then its progged to do something at just the perfect time...the perfect time to turn an 8-12 storm that's 16 hours into a potentially 30+ hour storm of much greater snowfall.

the cutoff upper low captures the mid and surface lows and tugs them out of the flow as they try to stack. thus slowing them/the storm down.
