Man thats not a good thing, we already had Feb 1989 earlier in January, don't need it again.

 

On the positive side, this storm also had a similar 500 pattern out west and that one worked out okay.  The ridge was more amplified in this case, that was only one factor but it played a part in the end result difference.  The ridge verbatim on the GFS is better than 89, the problems more originate with what is going on with the SRN stream

February 89...Dec 89 was a Miller B...models always struggled with those pre middle to late 90s...Feb 89 was largely NCEP/WFOs heavily biting on the NGM which had been out just 2 years but was weighted heavily in forecasts despite the LFM and other guidance not really ever biting on big snows back into NYC/DC/PHL.  The Dec 89 event basically every model from my memory was going with 4-8 inches on the 12Z cycle that AM

There was another one that I almost forgot....weren't we supposed to get a big snowstorm on Veterans Day too....was that 1987 or 1989?

Another blown call....we did get 1-2 inches which was better than getting nothing, which is what happened with the other 2 storms.    But areas both to the north and south of us got a lot more.

11/11/87 BOS/DCA both saw 6 plus...my recollection though was the forecast here was not for much, maybe 2-3 and we got 1.  The BOS forecast was good.   DCA they had a chance of flurries and they got 12-20

It is correct that this becomes a longer event. It's still moving fast but the Euro gave it another 4-6 hours on tonight's run. There's a little bit of confluence out ahead of it which is helping. The kicker low approaching the western upper Great Lakes is helping this to not come too close to us. Tomorrow and Wednesday we'll begin to find out where we're going with this event.
