Potential major winter storm - Feb 24-27

12z NAM actually did come a little further west with the sfc low, compared to its 6z run...which is why the snow swath is a little further west as well. IMBY back to the battle ground rather than right in the heart.

...but it's actually slightly weaker with both the sfc and ul low...so it may have just been a "noise" level shift.

Another eastward shift and we are out of the ballgame me thinks. Local met Fabert putting out his snowfall map this afternoon, I'll stick with the 3-6" forecast. Just a shame their is not more cold air to work with.

I would think their won't be much blowing snow as the snow should be wet and heavy in nature.

12/28/15 had a ton of blowing and drifting despite the wet nature of the snow.

Can clearly see the Region of Waterloo and Wellington County on there. Harrisale..  :)

just no cold air to play with and a huge wide open warm sector

Not ready to even make a first guess at this point.  Pretty complex setup as Izzi alluded to.

 

Could really make an argument either way (nw or se).  On the plus side, still have plenty of 9z SREF members juiced/north...a little less than half the suite spits out over 12" at GYY.  Basically have 2 groups...the over 12" group and the 0-8" group.

I wouldn't say non event (shows 4-5" for dtw) btw definitely sticking with being the furthest west model.

Anything under those amounts in this kind of setup that doesn't happen to often around these parts....is a non event. You gotta score big in this setup. No one cares about 3-5" of wet snow in late February. It's run of the mill.

Weren't computers supposed to make this stuff easier?

Well said.

Might as well consider it stat padding at this point. I was hoping we could at least go for sub-30 inch winter and that we'd no longer have to deal with long-lasting snowcover but this potentially underwheling event has a good chance of ruining that hope.

Still liking where I sit, although its going to be quite the close call. Thinking it'll be hard to avoid mixing. YYZ itself is probably going to see a good chunk of the precip go as rain.

 

Like Hoosier said, its too hard to make a first call yet (between track consistency and p-type issues), but I'll have one after the 00Z runs come in.

Yeah Toronto is out of it (as usual). Even if the track does trend east, the lack of cold air is going to be a problem. Warm air really prominent on the eastern side of the low.

 

I think the tri cities have a great shot at this.
