February Medium/Long Range Thread

0Z AI is now a hit but favors east of I95 with heaviest. Not the nightmare of Boxing Day as it's probably a moderate hit for many in the forum west of the Bay. It's big for coastal NJ north and east with I95 doing better once into NJ. ENE is the big winner with a Blizzard likely.

Details in a while on 3rd party sites like TT. H-squared (Heisey & Hoffman) will undoubtedly say it's not far from something much bigger forumwide, because it's not! Lol

The pattern is going to dump a lot of snow after Feb 20! I know this because my right knee is killing me again.

Its gonna be full of potential, multiple chances for snow. Besides, we ARE overdue for a genuine Kocin-Uccellini blizzard in DC!

It's gonna dump 34 inches of snow in DC and be called the KU-Jebman Blizzard of 2025.

6z Gfs better for the 20th Storm. Much improved. Still not there yet, but improvements vs 0z. actually gets about 4" up to DC S and E now.

The differences between the gfs and euro for both this weekend and next weeks storms is lol. Not even close.

Gfs and maybe the Nam a little are the  only 2 models that snows on us Saturday morning.  Not buying it.

Gfs was pretty good with yesterday insisting on that heavy band down south. That reason and it's the snowiest model are the only reasons I need to go with it.

Here's the qpf for next week that's snow in the metro areas on north and east that falls as snow.

The damn kicker showing up that comes off the PAC behind the main shortwave is really annoying.

It's always something that seemingly comes out of nowhere as the event nears that gets us, which is why the longer range progs are always the snowiest.

Typical issue,  if not our snow climo would be much higher.  Another way to miss besides the North , East and South issues.

It's gonna change the next run (and the 50 runs after that)

Yeah. I was thinking this morning that yesterday's event didn't come into clearer focus until Thursday.  I remember because I was talking to someone about what models Wednesday night were showing before 12z came out and how the 6z Euro first showed the push south. Of course a lot changed on the models as the days passed, but the point is it wasn't until 120hrs out until the general idea showed itself. 

Every storm is different, but using the 120hrs period as the benchmark, it'll be this weekend before we should expect to have a better handle on the outcome.

We can’t slow the pac  down which has been our issue all winter 

I just wonder how this changes once we are in phase 8 long enough for the models to adjust. That said, some models now want to delay the move into phase 8 including the bias corrected Euro and Canadian, but they are the minority. If there is a delay, idk what that does because it would be stuck in phase 7 with a weak wave for a week. Operational Euro and other models get us into phase 8 today or tomorrow.  Probably going to need to wait until tomorrow to see if modeling has found another way to screw our expectations. Lol

It's the five day rule with these models. Seems like it always is.
