Powerful Multi-regional/ multi-faceted east coastal storm now above medium confidence: Jan 29 -30th, MA to NE, with snow and mix combining high wind, and tides. Unusual early confidence ...

I agree. When I disputed your point the other day, all I meant was that guidance would over correct in that direction, before ultimately coming back and closing later...however, I fully expected some of these runs to close it off very quickly, and the most likely candidate is always the EURO in my experience.

I absolutely agree that the EURO is too fast and far SW with closing off as it stands now. but I just don't want it to trend too much before correcting. But you are right....that  is probably not off of the table. The CF I feel is...I understand why some don't want it discussed yet, blah , blah, but its my opinion.

Agree...  At this point, I'm locked in mentally for a big regional event with all the normal caveats.  From this point on, want to enjoy the forecasting process; fine tune the snowfall prediction, update my predicted impacts for all of my clients across the Northeast based on my take of the 700 mb intensity & track trends; 850 inflow, etc...  The coupled jet structure at 300 mb is a classic big deepener signal.  Given the lack of big / widespread events this year, I'm want the next 2 or 3 days be a relaxed run-up to a big event so when we get to Friday, I can just step back and watch it unfold.

Enough of the Miller A vs B discussion. It's useless. Just like the ICON.

Edit: Not yelling at Will. It's just the post I found.

I think what started the obsessing was that a post was made a while ago … I think during the lead up to the last event, where a correlation was advanced describing Miller Bs as being better snow producers …

So of course naturally that means comfort seeking armpit sniffing frantically making sure it’s mor B than A …

Fifth  … 1978 isn’t really good total meteorological analog ?

when did that come up and why/how?

It came up either just prior to the Euro run or very shortly thereafter; 40/70 shut it down pretty quick.   Whenever modeling slows a slowing down of an East Coast winter storm, the 78 analog is brought up.  But, as mentioned by others, synoptically is not even close.  78 had a full capture, stall and loop.  It also had a classic banana high at the surfaces stretching from western NY on across southern Canada out into the Atlantic north of the storm.  This has nothing of the sort; high pressure is retreating to its northeast, but no wrapping back of the high on across southern Canada; at least not enough to be noteworthy.  This will be an attempt at a capture, but in the end, it will only be able to slow its forward motion; probably not get it to fully stall.  I would expect this system will always have some forward motion component, even it crawls for a period of time, as it gets tugged a bit north and northwest.

I just wanted to catch up and went through the last many pages to get some Met or semi pro thoughts.  With so much being posted in this thread that is not really storm related or "weenie" posts maybe a new post could be made for just the serious analysis of what could be a historic storm.  I am not sure how it could be monitored but just a thought?

Another excellent post from you...spot on.

Something to keep in mind as well as far as haves and have nots are concerned. It’s not like someone is going to get 20” and someone else 3”. It’s probably more like 25 vs 15 or 18” or something 

True.  But it will feel like 3"

I think you and I both would be disappointed with 15" :lol:
