6Z GFS operational low location versus GEFS individual ensemble members. Operational is really on the fringe of the spread.

Great post.  thanks for sharing.  Still think SE adjustments are well w/in scope of options.  Aint over yet (for us S and E folks, but if its a classic, well we know how that cookie crumbles.

Not claiming superior knowledge to you haha but I would say yes that's a distinct possibility, with the stronger system producing more powerful mid-level winds off the ocean and thus increasing the probability of warm layers capable of producing sleet.  There are many caveats to this but short answer is yes it could have that effect here.  However, I'd still prefer to roll the dice with a wound-up crusher.

If ENS guidance has a clue...so would I.  If Op is leading the way.....I'm rooting the B on (hr 114)- as the the coastal would collapse the column and save you and I from taint/moist options that said Op presents.  That happens far enough SE of us to really save us IMO.

My problem is that the GEFS seems to be lagging behind the operational.  The op is leading the way, and then the GEFS follow.  So I'm glad the GEFS members are not as inland, but I'm not sure it matters.

IMO at 5 days out, ENS guidance definitely holds value.  From here in, that value will start to diminish, as Op starts to show us the way....right or wrong.

Already up to 32 here.   Headed for the 40's and maybe 50 (not LSV, west of the mountains).  Will be a nice break for a day. 

I'm only 23 still after an overnight low of 11.5 degrees...so no single digits for me this go 'round.  But, still colder by one degree than my coldest of all last winter.  I don't mind it warming up a bit especially if the old snow will be replaced with a very deep (?) new layer later Sunday.

I'd like to throw my 2 cents in to @Itstrainingtime's question (and it's still along the lines of the other comments).  The more powerful the low the more likely the accompanying cold front has occluded, which means the colder portion of the low can be much closer to the low's center where the eastern flank becomes overwhelmed with the cold air from the western side.

Enough guidance suggests the GFS Op was still a little off.  BUT, if it was onto something, he was correct.

and as I type this, the Nooner NAM comes in notably south from earlier guidance - which would suggest that if one extrapolated, would likely not have a transfter and be a clean A.  We should see what evolution it takes by later tonight.

Just bumped up to 22 after a low of 8. Mostly Cloudy now 

Milky sunshine here.  Some high clouds but not covering the sun.  But all blue to the West.  Up to 35 now.  Its going to be a beaut over here today.   Maybe you need something at Lowes to come on over and feel it for a bit.

thermal boundary a bit better here in NE and further south evolution would protect our precious levels if this holds.  Again I'm extrapolating, but hope one can see the small changes that can have a difference when this get to the coast.  

700's for my point

nooner.  That's a notable shift (and a good one IMO).  Is it noise, or the start of something classic....stay tuned.

Just stopped in the gc to look around  Saw an immature eagle eating a squirrel in the middle of 18 fairway.   Pretty cool

Icon snow maps incoming, but fwiw, its a forum crowd pleaser.  I'm scarily close to taint, but cause I'm a team player, I'd sign for it just as it presents.

 

Old timers told us many moons ago, that for the best snows....ya gotta smell the rain...

Verbatim , I'd be testing that theory IMBY....but I'd need help cause covid still has some of my smell and has yet to give it back.

 

I'll be outta here for the big guns...but keep em pointed in the right direction gang.....

Was only joking around. I have lots of closeup footage of hawks catching and eviscerating birds on my patio. Mother Nature rules.

Yes she does and yeah, raptors being raptors.  Anyone who owns a cat that goes outside...can share plenty of these kinds of stories.

Our cat was best hunter I've ever known....bar none.  He liked to share harvests on our porch.
