One thing has become clear with this system....it will not be a flush clean hit for the big cities along i95....that much I think we can say with certainty at this point.

Thanks Ralph for finally being realistic. I often find you are way too optimistic and not realistic but this is a good start buddy!!!

NAM really dumping the cold air in on Saturday before the storm. Teens into DC itself. Surface freezing line down into central NC. 

 

 

1046mb HP in W Quebec will do that... hope it's right 

Slightly better cold press on 12z compared to 06z... but it's in late land on the NAM lol

And it's not like a 50 mile shift east would be huge for all of us... it's 5 days out.

A 50-mile shift isn't a big deal at all, but those of us who have been around long enough know that getting a storm to shift east is a lot harder than getting it to shift west. Not saying it's impossible, but the last day has understandably sucked the excitement out of a lot of folks.

Way too early for absolutes obviously. But for those of us west of the Blue Ridge we should be pretty confident at this point that we are gonna get hammered. A track west of the mouth of the Bay will mix even out here. But regardless of the model we get wrecked. Make up storm for us after the first storm debacle.

It isn't exactly like the event has disappeared.  It is still an impressive storm, even if many of us are going to see snow-to-rain.

Not to mention that most of us are off Sunday and Monday, and there are plenty of good breweries west of Frederick to set up shop Sunday afternoon to watch football and snow fall. Looking forward to getting to use the 4WD.

Where was the 500mb low passage on the 06z Euro?  We desperately need to keep that south of us like the 00z Euro and 06z ICON have.  The GFS/CMC solutions are bummers.

Just playing around before 12z but toggling between the 6z ICON and 6z GFS, the ICON actually has a stronger vort than the GFS, GFS just drags too slowly as it marches east.  The NS SW that dives in and phases is basically the same on both but the ICON has our main vort over NE Georgia at 102 where the GFS has it over western Arkansas.

Even with the GFS solution we still would get a decent front end thump and some heavy snow, not to mention the storm is still 4ish days out. We will be fine

I love ya man, but learned myself over the years that the sage-like wisdom coming from the youngest person on the forum doesn't play well. Usually I found that I was posting things like this to reassure myself, lol.

Ah, crap.  That's right.  We really want to avoid this:

is this just a product of the low being inland, or is there something else specific to avoid?

Almost ready to give up on this. The shortwave isn't going to trend east, and the high isn't going to stick around. Likely a lakes /Midwest snowstorm.  

Only hope is if the shortwave cuttsoff over the southwest or something ejects ahead of it.

You're right - we would see some snow on the front end, and we should appreciate it while the snow is falling, but the reality with that solution is that the snow would be washed and melted away quite quickly. Might be tough to enjoy when we know what's coming in just a few hours.

The whole thing is just getting slower, slower, slower. It keeps backing up run over run into the energy behind it. Spacing is too much in front and becoming too little behind. Nothing has broken that trend. Hard to see it doing so at this stage but there’s always “the wave isn’t on shore yet” to fall back on I guess, for a little longer.

Yeah I guess, but after already getting some decent snow last week it is a lot easier for me to just sort of let this one go. I will always hope we get the best storm we can and be a little upset if this storm misses. At the same time it is pretty unlikely we see nothing from this and at least see some snow fall which is the most important part for me. If we see an all rain storm I will be pretty upset though.

I don’t know why anybody laughed at @Amped post. A cutter into the Tn/Oh valley is still very much in play IMO. Not a lakes cutter but you get the idea.

Having said that, the NAM low position at 84 hours would usually be one to salivate over.

amped lives in FDK and gave up on the storm?

This post goes for many here

If you are giving up on this storm, then get the **** out of the thread and stop cluttering it with your doom and gloom posts. 

We don't need to read that shit. Either discuss the models as shown and leave your emotions at door, or get out. 

One bad "its a disaster" post and the whole thread derails.
