We got the full tuck. Better track. Further SW. but it didn’t really work out to a better result. The WAA really got suppressed. That hurt DC south. Most places lost 1-3” there. Then we got stuck in the dry slot too long. And despite a better deform band it didn’t extend as far south into VA despite a further southwest stall of the surface low. That part shocked me. I looked at the slp first and expected a better result then what I saw when I looked at the qpf.

If I was told 2 weeks ago that I could lock up a 4-6" storm this weekend even if Philly-NYC got a foot+++, I would have done it and I'd still do it right now. Just saying.

No man. I really see why Bob Chill gave up this hobby. Hobbies are suppose to be fun and rewarding. Imagine if you tried to play the guitar for 15 years and only knew the D Chord

Central VA seemed to lose 1-2” on the thump on this 00z EURO run. Real bummer.

Yea that is killing places DC south. Even with some marginal gains from part 2 it’s a net loss. Unfortunately the primary is shearing out and weakening so the WAA is dying as it gets to us. Suppression ugh lol

Only way we make that up is if the low transfers / deepens early and south, and tucks with a solid h5 passage. That’s a lot of risk to bank on though.

That was suppose to be the easy part of the storm. Wouldn't it be something if we got a dusting to 2 inches because both sides dried up. This has a March 01 feel to it. Red flag was seeing all these 48 hour storm with 8 inches on the map

To be fair the 0z euro looked great in every way except the QPF. If you just looked at the h5 and mslp you would think N VA northeast got 12”+ easy. Instead we sat under a dryslot forever. 
I don't get it. I saw this first...and then 500 and didn't bother looking at the precip panels . Just shocking

For me, the hobby is learning. Not figuring out how to will our climo to be like Boston's. That's eh, a losing battle. Nothing you or I or Bob or PSU can do will change anything. That's why I don't get caught up in the "rooting for this feature" or that. It doesn't matter. It never will. I hope I get snow to play in with my kids. From the looks of things, I will. I want to learn more about how we get it and how we don't. That's why I'm here.

Guess we'll see what happens on the 00z EPS... though I think we are just about too close in now for it

Seems you and @psuhoffman are on agreement on that... which is good lol

Perhaps euro is having trouble with all of the lifting / frontogenesis going on to the NE and precip to the W that it’s having convective issues in between. 
 

If someone told me that if I said yes, the surface, 500 and h5 setup would pan out exactly as tonight’s 0z euro depicts, I’d say yes in a heartbeat and chance the fact that the dry slot is placed too far west / too prominent. That upper air setup = MECS 9/10 times.

So it’s still a 6-12” snowstorm across our area so it’s not like it’s a full fail. But yes that’s underperforming that look right there. Even more so if you look at the whole progression, primary jumps from the KY OH border to eastern NC then tucks up east of OC. Perfection. But it’s possible the op simply overdid the dryslot on that run. Maybe it was a hiccup. Precip isn’t the most accurate at this range.  If we actually get that surface and h5 progression I’ll bet it’s a better result.
