The last hurrah? Putting all the eggs in the Tuesday 3/14 basket

I think everyone below 600’ needs to be in the meat for good snows. 
 

I feel like preliminary Kevin to ORH county look good. 

Agree, me at 250’ish will not do as well as Ginxy and Kev with elevation on either side of me. Even last weekends slush I had barely a coating, once I got to Pomfret/Woodstock there was 2” and roads were garbage.

Expecting 95% rain here. Maybe some slush at the end 

I may have gotten duped by some of the overnight runs. That's what I'm expecting too, though I'll keep tracking with the outside hope that some of those more eastern ensembles have the better idea.

Obviously it’s still fluid and small changes will make a big difference yada yada, but with big qpf, a rapidly intensifying low, and what’s effectively a stall at our latitude—all forecasted to begin taking shape in approximately 48 hours—there is absolutely no excuse for this not to be a widespread 12+ big dog snow for interior SNE. 

No, 1888 or 2013 aren’t walking through the door, and given the mediocre antecedent airmass I’m dubious of widespread 18+, but if this somehow turned into a widespread 4-8, 6-10, 8-12 type deal then it is an abject failure and unequivocally the crown jewel of one of the worst winters in recorded history relative to its potential.

No excuses away from the coast if this doesn’t cut like 12z envisioned yesterday. None.

This is what I feel too..100% agree! That was what I was trying to imply to Spanks earlier…but I didn’t do as good a job explaining like you just did. Nice job with that explanation.

Better run, but struggling to get precip into my area....WTF

I noticed this about all the majors ( save for the UKMET ...which is questionable whether it's JV or V in my mind, to use Will's humor) overnight.  

(I'm way back here on page 85, so may ensue responses to moot points for the next 1/2 hour  LOL!)  

Anyway, both the GGEM and the Euro, with their nearly collocated solutions ( save for petty differences in pressure depth and anal retentive lat/lon anchoring that wouldn't matter) were both interestingly less in QPF penetrating into the deeper interior, considering synoptic awareness with straight climatology.  Part of that synopsis requires noting the PWAT distribution - getting a little more detailed. It almost smack as though the GGEM and Euro's bomogenesis pulled the field metrics, inward - 

Mainly discussing the 00z/blend of those two...

The GFS I did not include wholesale, and really haven't yet - I do not believe at this time, nor have I from the beginning, that this is a scenario that fits the GFS machinery and thus could not be trusted. The 06z finally appears to erode its bias dimming enough to shine through a beam of reality light.  

I think a slower pattern with blocking this, and lower isohypses ( height line ) counts ( signaling "relaxed flow"), while still embedding S/W with enough mechanics to power cyclogenesis, is exactly where the GFS exposes it is worse than the Euro - it's physics just add velcoity to the flow...

There's a dissertation's worth of discussing details that could be rendered for this things ... best just to piecemeal it for the Twitterspheric attention span of 2023, however ... haha

Crushage. 
 

Details still TBD but that was a very good 00z suite. If we can repeat something similar at 12z, then I may start honking. 

Again.. still back here on page 86 ... But may I just comment to this (bold) notion ?

I've been thinking about this performance-wise with the guidance this year.  It seems they have been worse overall. This has not lent to "honking" ( haha) at a 96 hour range.  Personally, ...I have honked at 120 and been successful for my praises, more so than failed to promote my own reputation ( to put it nicely) in the past.  

Not.   This.    Year.  

I just wonder if some that reticence to commit to an idea at 84 hours out ( I mean c'mon, right?) is recent conditioning by relentlessly shaky performance; a bit short compared and more like 20 years ago modeling standards.   Incidentally, we are right in the window when March 2001, the ( at the time ) AVN version of the MRF ( the genetic background of the GFS) pulled the plug on the Mid Atlantic. 

Has anyone noticed how the snow fall layout with this is kind of trying to mimic that March 2001 result ( modeled) ?  It seems to want to lay down a W-E glacier that steps up abruptly from the S coast to interior sections, much in the way that one did.  Interesting...

Yea…I’ve been thinking this has a 3/01 look to it, but a little warmer.

Wound be almost perfect if we could get that upper low about another 50-100 miles SE. 

It may be okay ...

...I was mentioning to Ray a bit ago that all the 00z majors ( save the UKMET) seemed a little light on QPF, relative to everything about the way this looks... 

Part of the warm hesitation inland - I suspect - is related to missing some fall rates in particular, the GGEM/Euro 00zs (I'm tossing the 06 Euro don't see any compelling reason that needs to be included) .  But even just 15 or 20% failure to penetrate precipitation mechanics around the NW arc could certainly hesitate finding that -0C isothermic profile in the BED-Willamantic zone.  

Perhaps being closer to core, gets us there without going too far -
