Euro primary's on a trajectory notably south of the GFS and definitely slower. It gets secondary going all the way down in GA/SC that arcs up to VA Beach. Energy phases and it hangs the low right around there before fading out. The low's in an okay spot for us where it hangs but the way it get's there probably limits precip extent into our neck of the woods. 

The GFS isn't really that bad, it was pretty close but a bit late on the secondary and the primary comes across the country higher. Canadian tracks more similar to the Euro but like mentioned  above the Euro has the secondary going the whole way from the SE while Canadian transfers a weaker low from the Oh Valley to the Delmarva. The Euro basically just put up the ideal way to bury DC/Northern VA with it's 12z op run. 

Thanks Mag.

We gotta get the WAA precip with the primary to us and then get the transfer going, basically what the GFS does on the front end but get a transfer positioned like the Canadian. The Euro evolution drops it under us when it transfers to the secondary all the way in GA/SC. I mean yea it does catch the LSV below the turnpike pretty good in the end but I'm def not rooting for forum splitters.

Early looks of the Euro ensemble looked good, there's several big PA hits in it. 

3 day total snowfall:

 

12z Euro transferred earlier which helped greatly IMO.  EPS control is just NSFW (compared to what we've been seeing of late).  

Takeaways are we've got ducks on the friggin pond again....and a big honkin goose as well.  Who's gonna cave?  I think Mag nailed it when you look at 500's and ridging out west.  it makes a big difference here in the east and todays runs are starting to see that.  Chips slide to the foreign/Northern models.  

 

Onto happy hour.

Cheers! Good 12z runs. Let's get HH to follow.

I haven’t been outside all day but I figured the driveway was just some slush to push off. Nope.. what a mess. Another winter day at the ice kingdom. Temps are still near freezing.

Well.. happy hour GFS definitely on board with the capture & stall/prolonged event idea.


.

Nice tick in the right direction and a couple moves away from a whopper. Primary dies a bit quicker death and once secondary pops it comes up and stalls then crawls up and out. Verbatim it also shows a prolonged event with approx around 48 hrs of snow.

Eastern PA is close to 2'.  But, MDT gets 16" and YOU get 18-20" while I get only 8"...lol.  The map is very weird with distribution.

You are correct - I downplayed it a bit not to cause undo excitement amongst us weenies. :) 

It's going to be an interesting several days upcoming for sure.

Wow. I didn’t look at color maps. Just 500s and surface. 
Good to see it coming in line. This might actually happen.

Haha.  That total forecast comes to a range of 112-144" in less than 72 hours!

The 18z EPS has a great look for the early week snow chance. The end of the 144 hour run has a great cluster of lows off of the coast of NC up towards the DelMarVa. The High is anchored over Quebec.

There look to be a range from inland runners, coastal huggers to some off of the coast. This look should only improve as the few eastern outliers are reduced as the event nears.
I really like where we are sitting for this event. Only 5 days to go until the storm gets underway in our region.

Maybe this is the one?!?!

Nice post. That low cluster to the western side still would be great for many inland and ok here in LSV although more taint possible. Cluster just off the Chesapeake bay seams reasonable  given spread shown.

That's a possible outcome, but to give particulars 5 days out is ballsy. Better to say "there's a chance of a significant winter storm" and start adding precip types in the next few days and potential amounts starting 24-48 hours out. 

Right. Waaaay too specific. Plus, it looks like, at the moment, what we do get will be snow. The biggest concern is suppression, not rain. Whatever model he’s using is smoking something.

I fear suppression. I can't shake it. Last thing I'm worrying about right now is taint, and I'm the forum's self-designated taint worry king. It worries me even more knowing that PSUhoffman is worried about suppression and he's further south than me by a fair amount.

EJ thinks that the area between Rt. 30 and 66 is in line for a warning event snowfall. I'll take my WWA and like it.

PSUHoffman knows more than I will ever know about this stuff, but I still think it’s jumping the gun a bit. Who is EJ?
