No...dud

Feels like it was apparent at H5 fairly early on. No reason to get bummed yet. Plenty of time!

I’ll take it as an appetizer to kick off the pattern. 

Snow hangs around for like 12 more hours lol. Another 1-1.5” for everyone.

[Terpeast]

Gonna slide i think. Wave spacing issues as CAPE said. If the second wave slows down just a bit, it’ll get more room to dig and amp with the 50/50 established

[mitchnick]

The slp off the coast that was 1/6 storm refuses to leave which is messing up the flow methinks.

But better than 12z

Interesting h5 map after all that stuff moves away tho...closed ull swinging down through the midwest

[bncho]

Not a complete dud. C-2" of mood flakes.

Yup.  Nobody should be giving up on that one yet.   Look how the 6th trended

It’s closer to a big hit than the surface would tell you, though. Look upstairs

[bncho]

but NYC gets fucking clobbered.

I'm talking in terms of a big one.

Agreed

Oh yeah, 100%. MUCH improved from the 6z, however.

[stormtracker]

So on the 18z show, the first one is ours...second is a NYC-BOS thing

[psuhoffman]

Not bad for the week

Nothing comes of it...but interesting to see all the potential during this time period.   I'm hyped for the 6th.   Not gonna go big dog hunting for now.   I'll take 4 to 7 of cold smoke and run

[stormtracker]

Have fun tonight ladies and gents.   I'll be at the theaters watching Nosferatu during 0z.  Bf insists on that movie.   Meh

Snow on snow. First event ends and it’s snowing again 30hrs later. 2nd storm much closer to being great. I just don’t want to see wave one keep getting crushed. Needs to stay where it is and maybe juice up more. Looks like a clubbing coming at 162 then it dries up a bit on the front end. Keep that intial slug plus what it shows it’s a hammer. 

[snowfan]

First event has the looks of a cold 3-6/4-8 event that we haven’t seen much of in recent years. Low stress, no mixing.

Yup. Need a bit more breathing room but if you flip through the last 5-8 GFS runs, you can see very clearly that the Jan 6th Storm sets the boundary (train tracks per @Bob Chill) for the 8th. That’s why this run is closer to a 2-fer than 12z. But I’m good with 6-8” with some frigid cold. 

[stormtracker]

hmm. in fantasy range now and H5 looks interesting

Whole bunch of s/w flying around.  Active pattern.   Definitely looks like a fun 2 weeks in this pattern

[snowfan]

Weekend of the 11th and perhaps MLK weekend setting up to be good ones for the ski areas along the spine. Natural snow + plenty cold for snow making.
