This is gold jerry.

Let's be honest, if I had posted earlier that the upcoming pattern was marginal at best and that this probably wasn't going to work out, he would have had the same reaction. 

Sometimes you need to look at pattern recognition. If this storm misses us it won't be because it cut to our West.

I was just breaking your balls dont worry. 

 

To be fair, you did claim yesterday that the euro showed a cutter which "fit the pattern".

Yes I did say that, but I was referring to the cutter which occurs first, to setup the 50/50 block. I am more confident today that there will be a storm, but I am worried about the block being so strong that it doesn't allow the storm to gain any latitude at all. If you ask me, the setup at H5 looks eerily similar to February 5-6, 2010.

sounds good - February 2010 - snowiest month in NYC history 36.9 inches - hope it verifies for you

It's been a while, but we are finally getting a +500 meter Greenland block with energy getting forced underneath. This one is coming during a full moon with the highest astronomical tides of the month.

We could have what I have been calling the landscape storm. A coastal flood event on a magnitude where there is inundation flooding. Millions of dollars of salt intolerant replacement plants could be killed. My big thing after sandy was using salt tolerant plants as replacements. This was not done in 90% of cases. Obviously another sandy caliber event would take another tropical hit so we aren’t looking at that. But something with low level major flooding that does cause inundation will be a major test for all resiliency projects. 

As far as snow I keep pushing the elevation thing. We saw that in March 10 with elevations above 2k in the Catskills seeing 40”

Since the astronomical tides are so high, all we need is a 3 foot surge to get to low end Halloween 91 major coastal flooding levels.

this is an ominous post for snow lovers

Anytime you have prolonged Easterly flow, coastal flooding is an issue. Add in astronomically high tides and it's a major concern. That doesn't mean the coast won't see snow, but I agree that the snow threat for this storm is more focused for the interior. Whenever you have a retrograding storm, not to mention in March, warm air is always going to be an issue. It just matters how far West the storm eventually tracks.

Such a strong block keeping precip away, at least what this solution shows.  

This is why I said 2/5/10. It wasn't to cause hype, it was just to say that I could see a similar setup, and the EPS agrees. The difference is we're in March and not early February, so the places with the most snow in this setup would be the higher elevations North and West of DC with very little snow in DC proper and Southern NJ.

I agree that if we are to get a big storm here locally with heavy precip, it will be when the block weakens

folks should hope it's the 2nd storm b/c there is virtually no cold air next week (not saying there will be cold air for the 2nd storm if said storm even comes along) but doubt models change much on temps for the next 5-7 days at this point.

This is what the 12z EPS looks like in terms of QPF for this time period.

I'm sorry, but that is actually a horrible description of the 12z EPS. There is greater than 0 precip in this sub-forum during that timeframe on the 12z EPS mean. I'm posting so folks can see for themselves. Hour 120 first, 240 second.

Something must have glitched because when I load the same image now on SV I get this one instead.

If we're worried about destruction nobody should be rooting for any storm. Fact, people die in blizzards. 

Do you remember the 4/2007 rainstorm? WE had to close the local schools. It was a crap year for snow but we still ended up using all our days....2 sleet storms and that rainstorm

Not sure what point you’re trying to make, but I was just saying that all types of weather can cause death and or destruction, with the exception of 75 degrees and sunny.
