It’s not negativity it’s an analysis. I know I haven’t posted in here much in the past year, but there used to be some good analysis and debates, now it just seems like a wish cast for snow and trying to hug all the models that give the most snow vs not relying so much on the guidance and more toward the actual synoptic features in play. What happened to all the key posters in here? 

A majority of of us have been completely starved of snow the last couple years. Analysis is fine and all, but when you've been fighting for scraps for 1000 days, you start thinking that a steaming pile of sh*t looks appetizing.

Besides, most of us don't really know all that much about the science behind it - we're just fans of fun weather.

Can i ask you a stupid question?. I obviously am aware that you know 2,000 times the amount of me about meteorology but how can you be a thousand percent sure that the models won't shift SE in the next 24 hours?. You came off as if this is written in stone. 

Sometimes I just have a hunch. Can’t explain it.

That's fine and you will most likely be correct, but why not just write that it's a hunch then?. Either way it's great to have you back and posting. Hopefully we will be seeing a lot of you this winter.

I feel you 100%. I want the snow too.

Emmitsburg is a very nice little town, which I've always passed on my way to ski Liberty, which is right on the other side of the border. The surrounding landscape will certainly give it a very wintry feel.

Back in the day, Liberty was known as Charnita, if I recall correctly. But I drank more at that time.

Had password issues and couldn’t get back in the system. Got it worked out. The biggest factor for me is the 500mb pattern. It’s vigorous but it’s progressive, not cutoff, and not much phasing at our latitude. That won’t drive the cold air in, high retreats so source is gone. My hunch/guess on that is we don’t score like we want to.

I absolutely have since the beginning and i am well aware of it. That's why i was asking him. Either way i appreciate his insight, i just wish it would be said with less certainty.

I would need hourly output to see how long the mix period is. But seems like we’d probably get a few inches on the front? Then lots of sleet, then a couple inches at the end. Sign me up.

Stuck in a meeting, but the big win from the euro run is that the changeover in my neck of the woods is ~3pm and after 0.3”+ of qpf.

Thank you for explaining it to me like the weenie that i am. I pray that you are wrong but know that you are probably right.

On the 12z Euro, as the low pulls away it flips even the US 50 corridor down to about St. Mary's City back to a period of accumulating snow.

Still has about a quarter inch of QPF left in the tank as well when that occurs. It’s never great to depend on back end snowfall though, especially with a storm that is riding through a fairly progressive 500 mb pattern. It’s 2020 though, anything can happen in this crazy year!
