Wow great run, daytime snow, temps in the 20s.  Beautiful.

Umm while I see the totals they would be a bit higher no with a higher ratio snow so we may play that opposite game instead of the rain snow line.  I think I would much rather play less liquid gets you more snow due to higher snowfall ratios with temps in the 20's and then inject more moisture later for the 1-2' snowstorm we have done this before think Presidents' Day 2003.

Hmmm…liking the euro look at 192 as we approach the 20th time period.

That's the period I like best.  Doesn't mean I'm not rooting for snow from the 16th or that it has no chance...but the upside if a wave can come along in that period is much higher imo.

Agreed. This euro run makes me think there’s a path to get two good events as well.

Euro has the same issue as the GFS.  Too NS dominant, not an amplified enough STJ wave, late phase.  But 24 hours ago none of the guidance had the wave at all so I'm not worried about details yet.  Were talking about the wave after the wave after the wave here.  We need small adjustments to get a big snow from that look.

IF Tuesday is going to be something, the bar for me is simple - drop enough snow to survive the relative warmth Friday (a bit Thursday too) and keep the grass covered! Then we can get into "the look" period with even deeper cold and lock that snow cover in for a bit... not accounting for any added snow!

I see almost nothing wrong with this map.

 

PNA in a perfect spot, semblance of a 50/50, almost as good as a “look” can get.

 

Even has that trough over Alaska which you typically see before a big snowstorm for the EC.

Yea that's been the window with the most upside all along.

5 ninas in 7 years made this aspect of the run particularly annoying. Eh, a miss north because of timing wouldn't be a shock...but you'd hope in a niño the STJ would win. Although next week it does seem a bit more suppressed overall, no?

hmm, h5 on Euro is totally different than 0z so far

Because, they are show every possible outcome 

I think I’m beginning to understand that models are for fun but not forecasting. This can help alleviate some of my angst and poor interactions at times.

When it shows snow and 28 at noon today for Tuesday and then shows rain and 60 at 18z then Neither was a Prediction of an actual high percentage outcome but rather an example of “if a,b,c, d” then such an outcome will follow and 6 hours later show “e,f,g,h” and just keep rotating every 6 hours.

im happy to finally get this through my thick head and perhaps I can just sit back and enjoy the myriad of examples that will be forthcoming.

Miller A incoming on the EPS for the 16th

This was the depiction for the early Jan event about 4/5?days before we got rain and 50. I hit really excited about an A but turned out further north and west, stronger with excellent cold air scooting out in 24 hours and thus temps over 20 degrees warmer.

Different setup. Legit cold air pressing SE, and in place. An overamped wave could still mess it up some for the lowlands.

And at the same time we need the wave to be amped enough to interact with the NS so it won't come together late either (do I have that right?). Balancing act...
