0z EURO would  break the snow records for Richmond Feb 4-5th if it verified.  Still snowing at end of the run.  6z GFS Ensembles also look better for the same timeframe.  I’m sure 12z will be  different but great to see threats popping up!

It actually look similar to that one ensemble member I posted the other day.

The 00z GFS had it hitting NC, and the 6z was suppressed to the south, but as you mentioned, some of the 6z ensembles were hits for us. We can expect to see wild swings from run to run with the pattern change. Hang tight, everyone!!:D

Man I hope you guys get this one.  I’d love a blizzard to happen for you.  You got this!

Thank you for thinking about us. :thumbsup:

EURO. Wild solution.  Never going to happen that way but it's nice to see.  We've got something to look at. Signal is increasing for some kind of East Coast storm. Maybe a big one. Models all over the place. Go back even a few days and look how this current weekend weather situation was modeled. Not great. I need to mow the front yard and get rid of the dandelions if there is any chance of snow. A yellow flower poking through isn't a good look.

Exactly.  That's the most believable possible, snowy solution. And just think how many elements have to come together at exactly the same time in order to produce that. That would be epic. And one heck of a stroke of luck.

 Our area is due the most, would love to get a March 1980 blizzard redux. Btw, there were some huge hits on the 18z GEFS as well.

Could be just me, but I am not able to see what you posted, @ldub23.

Meanwhile, after reviewing the overnight and morning models, there is still a storm signal for the February 4th to 6th timeframe, but it isn't as impressive as yesterday (i.e. not as many hits). But there is still plenty of time to monitor. Hopefully today is an improvement.

Today's 12z operational GFS is still south with the 2/4 to 2/6 low. Will be interesting to see how the ensembles look.

We need the upper low over the Canadian Maritimes (A) further east so the low in the gulf (B) can amplify and come north.

The 12z GFS was farther north than the 6z run so there is that.

Canadian got it done just in time. Similar to EURO.

There is a lot of spread on the models, it's good that the farther north solutions are still showing up.

The 12Z GEFS had a mixed breed of solutions. A couple hits, some southern misses, and even quite a few rainy members. You can see why the 50th percentile is so empty because only a couple members are driving up the mean.

The 12z euro was still close to something big, but still gets shredded and is too far south and east.

Hopefully ensemble members will show it further north.  That ULL near New England is causing the suppressed look.  GEM showed a flush hit here.

Certainly nothing like yesterday.

Still  plenty of time but not trending well.  GFS Ensembles are  better. Unfortunately GFS usually follows the EURO. May need to wait for pattern change around 15th until we track anything promising.
