Hey Addict, you must have done pretty well down that way in the ‘16 blizzard that hit NYC on south well.  I remember southern and SW area of CT doing quite well(over a foot).  
 

Up this way I was like the cut off. I received 8-10” from the ‘16 monster, but couldn’t quite get into the real big stuff.  And just north of here it dropped like a rock. 

not sure about the rough comment, weve gotten several 12+ events since then. No monsters but a foot + is nothing to sneeze at. Many times, Feb 15, Jan 16, Feb 16, Feb 17, Jan 18, Mar 18, Mar 19 all had double digits amount in new haven county.

Im out for a while, GL to all on the 12z models, ill b back on later tonight.

This is OUR storm. :ee:

I think I measured 10.5 from that one in Milford. 2016 feels like ages ago after these past few years lol

6-8” of arctic sand for you while Ray whines that he may only get 17” instead of 20” as he misses a mesoband by 2 miles. 

You know the drill. 

Pretty much. It’s going to take a lot of Kraft tugs to get this one enough north for a big hit so I may need to cheer on the Cam pick 6.

I was just asking about Jan  ‘16?  And he’s down in the SW corner isn’t he?  But maybe I’m wrong?

Is miller C a thing? I've heard the term jockeyed around

Some used to refer to storms that start way out to sea and retrograde back in as Miller Cs...I’m not sure if that was just slang or it was actually in the literature somewhere like Miller A and B. I know it wasn’t in the original Miller 1946 paper though.

Hmmm my memory isnt anywhere near some others here when it comes to storms, but I think mar 2018 was decent. Like 7-8 inches? I do recall another storm where just inland, like Easton ridgefield etc. had a crushing heavy wet snow that knocked out power for days while right here on the coast we only got 5-6 gloppy inches. Regardless hopefully this finds a way to get everyone, even those folks down in  DC. A classic DC-BOS I95 crusher is always fun

As long as you can grab gummies with two fingers, all is well. 

I think it’s happenned more than twice though, no? regardless I’m thinking nyc to pwm anyway, we couldn’t care less about dc snow.

I’m sure it was more then twice but not very often, I would have to look back for NYC to here, low track would be East if NYC is snowing so we probably miss more here then not, Usually a strong block and strong HP over QUE doesn’t bode well so I would be in favor of something weaker.

Milford ct since 2016.  Fairfield prior to that, except Hamden for a few years (college) . Was in Hamden for 2010-2011, probably my favorite winter of all time. 
 

Anyways back on topic..

What is a "control"? What does that mean here?

Well, it's tricky to explain effectively. Essentially we use ensembles because we don't understand the uncertainty of our chaotic atmosphere. Taking into account this uncertainty, the model runs several times with slightly perturbed conditions in order to create the individual members in order to best account for all possibilities. That's how we get the ensemble mean. The ensemble control forecast is the ensemble member run from the unperturbed, coarse-resolution initial conditions. Essentially the control run is useless in conclusion

Do we care about NAVGEM or is it just a weenie model? 

No. It use to have a noticeable SE bias,  so for example if it was SE of the benchmark that probably meant that the storm was going to track on the benchmark. But I thought someone mentioned that it does even have that bias anymore? It’s just a bad model.

what is the trend since their last run?  will be interesting to see if any trends develop this afternoon, given a pretty consistent look across models so far.

ICON has "inched" it south over the past 3 runs. From taking the low over RI and Boston to 100 miles south of the Cape/islands.
