Is that going to be enough for you brother?

I am retracting the "Yahtzee!!"  I ran the Euro run through to 240 for laughs and not a flake to be found even with what looks like the polar vortex transported to near our yards.  lets see what happens.

We get more big snowstorms than most areas of the country, but that doesn't mean people should expect them.

Exactly. That’s my only point. Gotta know your climo. Of course we all want big snowstorms all the time, but there’s a big difference between wishing and the reality of local climo. Even up here in the “highlands” where we get a decent amount more snow than the i95 corridor, I don’t expect to see lower Hudson valley to interior northeast type snowfall. That’s just not the reality of where I live is all.

Counterpoint to the idea that you're living in the wrong area if you root for big storms. I'd agree if you mean you want a big storm every winter. We're going on 7 years since our last single snowfall that reached even 8 inches. Even for this area, that's a pretty extended stretch. So can't really blame the folks who are feeling that way. 

Strictly speaking of those who expect a KU every storm. Not a ton of folks fall in this category, but there are enough.

At this point we should probably start rooting for anything non-GFS and just plow that arctic air into the East. Maybe we can at least manage to not screw up the BN Temps that models had across the board. I mean, we can't fail at getting the cold established right? Every LR guidance had it.

Lol. Why would we root for anything non Gfs? Gfs is snow on snow on snow.

Have you been hanging with Ldub? Lol

I don’t look at clown snow maps 

i know we love HECS hunting but the problem is--when we dont get a HECS..we dont even get a SECS....alot of times...we will go from 20 to 0 and waste a week of our lives.

Maybe this will morph into a colder and farther S version of yesterday's system. I mean, that wouldn't be a terrible thing....atmospheric memory and all those other  superstitious myths.

Unless the GFS digs in and scores the coup of the century, this may be the best case scenario... cutter with redevelopment over CAD with a small thump to dry slot. I'll take it if it the models compromise to that scenario.

I know the gfs is on an island right now, but it’s the new King, and to see the GFS OP and GEFS in line on a key feature 54ish hours out is enough for me to still feel there’s a decent chance it’s right.

The euro’s wheelhouse is more in the mid range which is where it showed a similar evolution to what the GFS is currently showing in regards to how it handled the energy out west. If the euro is indeed doing its usual song and dance of hanging back too much energy out west in the 54-84 hour range, then it’s plausible that the result downstream at D7 (the final evolution of the storm) is incorrect.

Of course, the GFS could end up being wrong and could eventually cave to the other “camp” in the coming 2-3 days, but if we’re strictly going off performance in the 48-84h range, I’d take the GFS over the Euro given it’s success over the past year since it was upgraded. The GFS’s consistency at 5h & 500mb from run to run has been pretty remarkable, and having support from its ensemble only bolsters it’s credibility IMO

Anything’s possible, so we take this a day at a time. If the 00z gfs and tomorrows 12z gfs continue its current look, I have a feeling other models play catch-up in due time.

Um, it has? From this afternoons LWX AFD:

 

 

 

Broad, highly anomalous ridging will build into the Arctic, sending

 

a deep upper low south into the northern Plains, Great Lakes and

 

Ohio River Valley by Thursday. The collision of this cold upper low

 

with warmer temperatures near the Gulf Stream will likely generate a

 

strong area of low pressure in the vicinity of the East Coast.

 

Details in track, strength, and timing remain uncertain, and overall

 

confidence remains low; however, it should be noted that most long

 

range guidance has been unusually consistent in hinting at a

 

potential wintry precipitation scenario late next week.
