Would take this and run with it. not to deb but look at the trend. its continuing to shift north and its only Tuesday. with nothing to really keep it south there is little to stop north trend to a point of course. I think it's not that great for DC metro as is compared to previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have a ton of wiggle room but this storm is a bonus storm IMO. The real show is next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously bumped north but not enough data to say anything is a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost makes me second guess my bullish stance on the rest of the season but I guess I just don't see the same risks. It may be hard to get a clean/big snowstorm over the next 1-2 weeks but man, I think our chances look about as good as you can ever ask in any winter except the holy grail mod nino/blocking. I felt very confident in getting additional snowfall when Feb started and I've only gotten more confident. Weather works like the stock market sometimes. When it's all hyped up it fails but when there's fear and blood in the streets it rocks. This winter so far is a great example of what we thought would happen, didn't. In my mind some still hold onto what they think it takes to get snow (go down w/ the ship mentality), and forget that there are other ways to snow. That's what I was driving at the other week wrt the lack of NAO. IF the MJO finally getting to favorable phases is the big dog this year, sobeit. I frankly dont give a rats @rse...so long as it snows. Is putting all faith in MJO 8/1/2 optimal...maybe not, but next year it can be something totally different (-AO/EPO/+PNA /-SOI) that drives the bus...whatever. Weather has shown us there are NO absolutes, but we still can get windows of opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 19 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: Nice run but congrats PSU. He's debbing the comeback of the century. I know your kidding but in fairness I was debbing late Jan into early February when it became apparent to me the pacific was going wrong again. But I tried to say over and over I wasn’t canceling winter and it still looked ok enough to get some snow but I was canceling my epic ness call for late January into February. All things considered we pretty much maxed out the mediocre pattern the last 3 weeks. A west based epo pattern with no blocking help often ends worse. But we fought our way to some snow. As soon as I saw the pacific forcing headed towards right I jumped back in. But I’m not of these “delayed but not denied” spinners. I was wrong. My winter call busted. But I can adjust on the fly. If the look I expected starts to evolve in mid February instead of January I’m not going to ignore it just because I’m feeling butthurt that things didn’t go the way I expected. 18 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: It finally figured out where that desthband belongs!!!

NorthArlington101 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 EURO is 4" of snow then 0.5"+ inches of ice forum wide. It would be a glacier if it didn't rain afterward. Still might be too much of a glacier to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just see the change from blue to pink and feel let down. I have to learn to look at the other data to see what exactly that means on the ground. Thump to ice/sleet is much better than change to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now looking under the hood, what has room to trend in our favor to make this a mostly snow event? (Stronger 50/50? And would we have to pull off a colder solution without a -NAO?)

High is retreating so no confluence or 50/50 to lock it in. Basically it just gets bullied. I can easily see how it could be more snow or even all snow but at the same token I can see how it could be just ZR to rain. Not a good setup for all snow so I'm expecting a mixed event of some variety unless a semblance of a 50/50 or confluence starts showing up.
