mitchnick Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 30 minutes ago, Terpeast said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 2 minutes ago, Allsnow said: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
