Some Black Pelican right now sounds great 

That place on the beach is great!! Good spot if you need to go back over to the mainland to chase if there's a mix. Close to the bridge. That would be an awesome place to ride out a rare winter storm

I rode out Idalia in there Labor Day Weekend of 2023, wind enough for them to have the fireplaces going, knocked out internet for them and other systems, had to pay cash, no working ATM in the area, so had to be mindful of our drinking tab.  Definitely a great place to ride out a storm.  I would love to do a winter storm there and whenever I watch the scene in the bar of The Perfect Storm where they are all gathered waiting for news, I think of that trip.

Such a great movie reference and great context!

No way I'm cutting you guys out down there for Tuesday/Wednesday.

Stick to the ensembles til tomorrow night for all the models.

And not just because they're not showing and such that I'm saying that- it's showing good snow for Friday and I don't buy that on one model yet either.

Its FAR from resolved.  The BOMB is no longer in play but a nice event isn't lost, yet. Tomorrow's storm isn't even clear yet. Not over yet! Tuesday night is still a ways away.

Exactly! We've seen bigger turnarounds for sure with weather events in our favor and against

I tried to separate the three events, but 18z only goes out to 144 and the Friday threat is still going at the end of the run.

A few huge hits, are they the combination of two storms or just one?

Nice job @Ric Airport 

I think we're all hugging the Euro and it's ensembles. Just need one of those to work for all of us

Looks like 2 to 4 inches to me lol

Yeah, clearly the Tuesday night into Wednesday threat has the greatest momentum. The Friday threat is at the end of the run while that storm is still going so I wouldn't read into those numbers as much.

It'll be interesting to see how the Euro and the GFS, since they both see the Friday system, handle that threat. We certainly have an interesting week ahead of us.

Gotta deal with the ebbs and flows from day-to-day. Like the rest of our lives hahahaha.

I don't usually pay attention to the SREFS, but I noticed a decent increase from the 15Z run to the current 21Z run, particularly for the Hampton Roads area regarding the event from Tuesday night into Wednesday. Since it's at the tail end of the run, it's difficult to make a true comparison, so take it FWIW.

 

21Z run

vs 15Z
