A little improvement. Coastal tucked in a bit closer. Still gets going too late. Congrats NJ coast this run.

Thought we had a better look at 500's as well. We unfortunately are stuck in no mans land as the energy is in the process of transferring from the primary tot he coastal through our region.

This is what's expected with these miller b type deals. Has the look of a classic screw job for our region. Maybe a few more positive shifts and it works out. Every once in a while we get lucky. Ji is probably right though.

Have to agree. Yes it trended towards what we want yesterday but now the limitations of this storm type are showing. 99% of these miss for a reason. We need everything to happen as fast and as amplifies and perfectly as possible. It's just too big an ask most times. The day 8 setup is better for us.

A little sharper trough with a little more dig, maybe a touch quicker swinging through as well, and we probably see a better solution. But then again that may pull the low to close into the coast and we end up rain. Always an ordeal just to get it to snow around here. :lol:

Ninas are always a challenge and mostly incredibly frustrating for snow in this region. Early call for next winter still a Nino?

It is what it is. But we keep tracking because occasionally we do hit on all cylinders and score with Miller b's and sometimes quite big.

In the end the worst possible solution is again presenting as the most likely. There are two vorts rotating/pinwheeling around this week. Both take almost the perfect track. But the first is ruined by a primary too far north to allow the coastal to develop in time. But it does develop enough to sqash any surface development for vort 2 a day later. This is a typical problem when we have to rely all on the northern stream. It takes perfect thread the needle timing. Amp too soon they are north of us. Too late and it hits New England. Hard to get them to dig enough then amplify at exactly the right moment. Our window with these are just so small.

My early call is seeing if I can convince my wife into selling the house and getting a cabin up in the Laurel Highlands in western PA. Even in a bad year they typically see at least 80-100 inches in the higher elevations.

Yeah that area down to Canaan is always going to get their snow. I really like Canaan, but not sure I could live somewhere that is considerably more out in the sticks than where I already live lol.

This is definitely trending towards the miller B Mid atlantic hose job. Think Boxing day, Dec 2000, Jan 2018. These storms seem much more common lately. NJ/NYC gets slammed, we watch. If its any consolation, as it stands now, it looks temps might be an issue up there. It might puke snow, but they will have accumulation issues.

Yeah. I said last night that I will dryslot out this way. It is just how these things go out here with Miller B's. I think Baltimore north and west is still in the game. It could come together in time for them. But I cant complain about this mornings GFS run. It gives me over a foot in the next ten days. The day 9 thing as modeled is perfection for my area.

Hmmm. This GFS run is closer to the coast. This is getting interesting at this point.

How does a low popping off Hatteras (12z GFS) and riding the coast produce no snow for us? Ok. Let the flame throwing begin...

i'm an extreme novice, but just looking at the map i think the initial primary or ull is too far north which might explain why it gets going too late for this area.
