Watching closely .. February 1-3rd for moderate to major coastal event

[dryslot]

GFS is garbage.

SE Mass special on the gfs

Are we thinking 48 hours of moderate to heavy snow still or maybe scale back to 40?

[SnowGoose69]

The GFS usually at this range will try to barrel these sorts of systems too far north and to add insult to injury there is a -NAO in this case.  The right idea is probably something less north than the GFS on approach to the east coast but probably less sloppy and disjointed thereafter than the Euro is.  It’s probably going to be a much “cleaner” coastal low than we are seeing on alot of the guidance now.     Someone is gonna clean up getting hit by both the initial overrunning and then the coastal jump.  That probably isn’t gonna be anybody north of SW CT.  That zone will certainly be somewhere between say Fairfield Co CT and Wilmington DE.  I rarely say in a Miller B esque or type event you wanna be in NYC but this may be a case where somewhere near NYC is the jackpot due to the blocking setup

Based on an off hour FV3 run? What do you think

ICON/Euro rule? European power team?

If snow falls out of trees for 24 hours after a 24 hour storm....did it snow for 48 hours?

I'm sick of all these elongated and multiple lows this winter, with each one chasing the other's convection.

The storm around the 6th (the cutter) looks better for up here than the early month storm, at least on the GFS twins.

18z icon crushes sw zones up to hr120.

[Ginx snewx]

Oh boy oh boy look what jumped up to number 1 on the analog list

[Heisy]

Wouldn’t even bother to look at gfs until it’s under 96 hours, hell, maybe even 24 hours out lol....I can honestly say that if the GFS gave me 18 feet of snow at 120 hours out it wouldn’t even get me excited that’s how bad of a model it is. It is currently ranked below the JMA at day 5 verification. 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Anything but 01/15, anything.

Agree. We look and watch but weigh it very lightly.

At least it's been consistent with the cutter that's right on its heels.

GFS almost never fails to verify a 10 day cutter, lol.  The end of this 18z run has warm heavy spring rains to Maine.  Goodbye whatever pack is left after that cutter.
