Literally any other model could do that and we wouldn't flinch. Being the EURO you have to wonder. It now aligns fairly well with the gfs and cmc which sadly is a deadly combo.

Certainly too early to wave the white flag but having just the ICON and UK on our side(12z runs verbatim) isn't exactly giving me that warm cozy feeling.

EPS individuals have a decent amount of complete misses with little to zero precip. Dont tell Albedoman. Then there's are a decent amount with low end mecs hits.

Been saying this over in the MA forum for days. This is an all or nothing event imho. Minor change aloft can make a massive impact at the surface.

The trend to elongate the TPV simply lowers the ceiling with this one. If you want the high end KU look, you need a consolidated northern stream to phase in like the Ukmet. A moderate event is still on the table of course even if the Euro/GFS scenario happens. But plenty of time left for this one. We'll see some surprises moving forward I'm sure, for good and bad probably.

Do you think it received new data ie dropsonde or energy hitting the W Coast?

Taking a step back looking at the North American view, the biggest change was the energy that hits the West Coast around hr90. It deamplifies the PNA ridge and doesn't allow the TPV to dig as far south and stay consolidated. When the ridge breaks down, it just shears out the northern stream. I guess we still have quite a ways to go to know what will happen with that energy and all of the other small nuances in the flow

This feels like deja vu with this past Tuesday’s storm. Models show a big snowstorm and then slowly back off until all that’s left is a light, maybe moderate event.

Been this way all season, why should this be any different I’m not excited at all about this potential cause we all know the end game at this point.

The only thing more depressing than losing this storm  is off topic closing down. Man, what will I do with my free time besides argue with people back and forth who I don't even know about stupid things 24/7/365. I'll have to have a talk with myself about my new future goals and aspirations...

I think this one is different. The weather app on my iPhone has said double-digit inches of snow at PHL for days now. That hasn't happened for any of the other storms this year. I think a major snow event is a sure thing.

That backside low getting close to Seattle isn't at all what you want.  We'd prefer it closer to the Gulf of Alaska.

I guess the models have trouble with the speed of the northern jet in the long-term.  You wonder if that sort of east coast amplification is even possible in this pattern.  Shows how perfect the timing would have to be.

Swear this has happened with every storm this year without fail lmfao. Not doom posting just saying that it tends to lead towards a collapse within day 4-5

Happens 90%+ of the time the past 2 decades in regards to larger long range storms...here and there we get thrown a bone but usually failure is the outcome.

Yes they do

So why do the models have such a difference in the extended outcome?  Do different world weather agencies use different atmospheric physics?  This is something I have wondered about for a long time. Maybe you or others have the answer.

Not all models use the same math and physics equations plus differences in resolution which impacts the model output solutions.

It’s just a feeling but I don’t think this misses. Maybe 6-12 inches instead but I will take that.

Greedy bastard....I'll take a nice 4-6" with the cold and some wind and be happy as hell. This pennie, nickel and dime crap has gotten old real quick...

I just didn’t want to think that low yet but yes even that would be my biggest. Have not had more than 3-4 inches in a storm.

Pretty sure I've haven't had 3" yet, maybe not much more than 2-2.5". A solid 6" snow would be noticeable.Ya know, plow trucks coming down the streets and all, snow mounds on the sides of roads. A real winter event...
