LOL well that's a new solution. 

Yeah good luck figuring this one out, lol

[Solution Man]

Still snowing 21 hours

[CAPE]

Not as clean a phase so more energy from the southern wave runs out ahead this run, similar to the Euro.

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

This is a very very very good run. 

[NorthArlington101]

Beginning to have “big ones are sniffed out early” vibes - hope it sticks this time

[Solution Man]

Let’s see the Numb Clown Map

[Weather Will]

WB 18Z GFS…A storm is there another run….

[SnowenOutThere]

A solid foot plus event the for whole forum and its all snow for most (all?) of us with temps in the 20s and low 30s. 

[Terpeast]

Around this time tomorrow we get into the 7 day window for this one. 

How far ahead did the models sniff out this major dakotas blizzard and a mostly rain event here today?

[frd]

Hour 189   WOW

Solid week? We got teased a couple times that it would get forced to our south, but think that was all like D9? I’d have to go back in the thread to be sure.

Fringed! Didn't love the way that evolved, but it'll change in six hours. Just glad it's still showing the significant storm idea.

18Z GFS for late next week.

[CAPE]

Disjointed with a later phase but good outcome esp for places inland. Sort of evolves more like the Euro but comes together quicker, so better at our latitude.

Ok if models still show tomorrow what they’re showing today, then I think we are in game time.

We have sooooo much more leeway and margin for error if we get the shortwave to get south of our latitude. Increases the floor AND the ceiling.

We in the game now man. But sort of like the Seahawks are in the game.. they really need to win tonight.

We’re basically at D7 for the storm being on our door step. Long way to go but I like where we sit for now. I’d like to see us in a similar position (with wiggle room to maintain a nice event) around 0z Sunday. 
 

Everyone should also remember that even an area wide 3-6” type event would be HIGH TIER for mid-Atlantic La Niña December’s.

straight up triple phaser. beautiful evolution aloft

it's becoming clear that there's a lot of ways to score with this potential system... that's how you know the pattern is good

[Amped]

I have no good analogs. 

February 1972 and January 1935 look the closest

We need to get to the 132 hour window unscathed

[Weather Will]

In the wake of the storm, 50 mph gusts and near 0 windchills.

That's sort of where the constant analysis and especially the damn snow maps (with the runs that have weenie outcomes) can skew expectations. This is a sick ass good pattern and it will be more mature by next week. That said, a solid warning criteria event is much more realistic in December than a KU.

That’s amazing, usually it’s drip drip drip after big ones…

Drifting snow with arctic cold AFTER the storm would bring back memories of old time winters.

Looks good to me, you have two costals increasing the snow time too!

I was just wondering about that.

Bring on the gravity waves and thundersnow!

[WxUSAF]

Not sure if it will come together, but if we didn’t have a digital HECS 48hrs before this panel, I’d be stoked. This is a canonical look. #CAPEStorm2022
