That's the worst of all of the 12z models up here...still a lot to iron out.

Pretty bad run to run consistency from every piece of guidance now. If we can just get the gfs and euro to lock in now that would be great. 

Yup. Good to see that 00z was a blip though.

Amazon gives me AWD, we good

I don't think they offer AWD to the drivers delivering to my area.  I've pulled my fair share of Amazon vans off my lawn.  From my own personal archive...

January 23, 2023 - note the tracks through the snowbank above the van from the prior off-roading experience.  These were 2 different drivers.

Euro not really getting it done for ski country.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

That’s a lot of qpf for many well over an inch

Remember days ago when Ryan said you locked in 12 to 18 well Euro agrees

All of those clown maps are guesses and produced by the vendor, not the model.  I would advise ignoring them and looking at soundings, snow growth, and qpf.

I mean I guess you could just look at qpf and temperature throughout the event and estimate

[wxsniss]

Still lots of uncertainty, but seems 0z Euro was the anomaly

Gap from here to 12z GFS is a more potent trailing s/w and associated earlier capture... highly impactful variations that are easily within noise at 60h-72h

But yeah.  They need help to our north

[Ski Patroller]

Jiminy Peak may miss the heaviest, too. Hoping that the bullseye moves up into the Berkshires/S. Greens...

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Oddly silent for a run that drops 12+ on the majority of folks in SNE. 
 

there was more discussion extrapolating the 84 Nam this morning

Lift too...lift is extremely important as is snowgrowth. You can have all the QPF you want and favorable thermals, if lift and snow growth suck you're going to be disappointed.

Failure fatigue from last season, December and previous forecast for January!

"Show me the money!"

But yeah, should be party time

[Winter Wizard]

Mixing issues near the coast otherwise Euro looked sweet for most people. Getting closer to locking in a nice hit.

I also think the GFS provided the biggest dopamine injection in years too so there’s only so much higher you can go 

[CoastalWx]

Another run, another solution. Not much more to say. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

It's not a blockbuster event. But after last year, a lot of folks are gun shy methinks.  

I'd be happy with 4-8 from this, but expecting a little more

It's mild pretty well inland. They'll probably wetbulb to near 32 or below though.

I don’t think the gfs and euro are that far apart for this being a 75 or so hour forecast. You could do worse.
