6-12 is a nailbiter?  Okay then

One more shift like this one and half the subforum would be looking at a dramatically scaled down event...a few inches of WAA snow and then snizzle.

AS DEPICTED it's still great. But yes, when 50 miles makes the difference between 2-3 inches and 15, that's nailbiter.

Shift the storm 30 miles SSE and that 24+ jackpot is right over us. Seasonal trend says not so fast however. I was never worried about suppression. I was worried about Harrisburg to Boston getting crushed. This setup reminds me of many classic Miller b’s that dumped 18+” on the New York metro area in the early 2000s when I lived up that way. Not all of them miss us down here, but some certainly do - especially from dc south. 
 

I’d take the euro / cmc blend and run with it but boy, are we playing with fire here 

But yet...hasn't the seasonal trend been suppression? (especially this month, lol)

If it trends north we'll likely do better on the front end...It's not a win-win...but some consolation

I'm 30+ miles NW of DC - I would rather see a stronger coastal with mixing along 95 - pretty sure every really big storm we've had here had mixing near 95, while we remained all snow.

Correct, but the concern is that every Euro run over the last 3 runs has pushed the higher totals north.  I hope that trend doesn’t continue tomorrow.  

ALWAYS the concern with these setups. It's a tight rope walk for the area. Euro/CMC/Para GFS are all good for the WAA piece. CMC is like the dividing line between the Euro and GFS. IF I was to bet where the best snow will occur, I predict Rt30 to the PA Turnpike with 50 miles either side being well within the clear for a MECS. Need a little more of a southward trend for DC/NoVA. Miller B life

I believe his mention of where the h7 low passes is causing that.  If we can get that to move south a tad, the higher totals will come back south... is that right @MillvilleWx?  Or do i have that wrong?

The mid-level dynamics need to a be a bit further south in order to cash with the coastal. 850-700mb is the area you watch for low passage as this is where the best lift for dendritic growth occurs and you see better banding structures.

@MillvilleWx the h5 progression is beautiful. I have a feeling when the EPS comes out this op was a northern solution in the envelope. 

I could see that. It was legit splitting hairs on who gets bombed on that run. I was digesting the 7H low progression and it was legit 25 miles north from the sweet spot. I'm just glad the Euro hung on to nice transfer and vort passage compared to the GFS which has been sloppy. I know people in here are worried about things trending too far north, and it's justified, BUT if you follow weather around here, these Miller B/Hybrid setups are NEVER easy. You have to walk the tight rope. The cool part is, when they happen, they are magic.

THAT was one hell of a run for much of the sub-forum. Despite the bit of mixing during part of the coastal for the cities, everyone is puking dendrites at some point during the height of the coastal. US15 to I81 from Winchester to Harrisburg could be the deformation zone on this run verbatim. The whole area gets walloped in all. 1'+ for a ton of the sub. Even with the slightly farther north track of the surface low into southern Ohio, the goods are still delivered. I liked seeing a consistent hold of the ULL as it crosses into the Ohio Valley as well, strengthening again as it moves east. The 7H low cuts right over the Potomac. Just a slightly further south depiction, and it's blockbuster for basically everyone. A great run 

But I personally lost 12” of digital snow are you going to come here and console me, wipe my tears, help me throw digital punches and sue the Europeans? Fight this out in banter?  PBP of euro at 1 am ET. My next briefing is in 6 hours. Great having you on here bro.

You must live in NoVA. The king of jackpot depictions 100+ hours out that never pan out  :lol:

And the scary part is I think the QPF it's showing over PA is too light given the firehose.  Should be a massive area of 30+  from Garret county to Binghamton .

The models never show the mountain effects properly at this range - maybe not enough resolution? Any of the recent runs, with this track, are easily 20"+ in Garrett, probably more in Tucker.

I didn't expect the euro to show the north shift after seeing this which is what I looked at first. March 2001 ftl2ed17c92b5501b032c68e900aca7a471.jpg

Seems reason enough for me to question the surface depiction


.

It being a weather model 72+ hours out should naturally give any of us reason to question it.
 

We’ll see once the EPS run wraps up if this OP was a northern outlier or not
