You and I (and @CAPE) make out well, as does just about the whole subforum. The mood in here doesn't match the models lol

Im not in this camp. If I get 12” I’m ok. But there are people up in this area that want a storm to “settle the score” and bring this area to where we “should be” with regard to climo as those southeast of us who are at 110% of normal already.  So…this area up here averages like 30-40” depending on exact location and most have had 10-20 so they need like a 20” snow to get to 110% and they need everyone SE of 95 to not get more snow or it’s still “not fair” because then they have 120%. 
 

Again I’m not in that camp. But I get it. We’ve been worse wrt climo quite a few years now here. Some are waiting for a storm to settle the score. They want a jack here not another storm where way more snow falls to our southeast.

Meh. Not a great trend on the Euro the past two runs.

Hahahaha he meh’d 12+ for the entire forum. Did you actually expect we’d get 18-24”? Come on now. Keep your expectations in check and you’ll stop always being disappointed. The euro is pretty much in line with the ukie and gfs. Even king euro comes back down to earth.

We have an insurance policy for now at least. The WAA piece looks like a flush hit here. Models have nice 850 and 700mb frontogen all over SWVA.  That's easy snow and at this point seems very likely we're getting a piece of that.  North of us doesn't benefit the same. Areas north need some phasing and rapid deepening of the low. That's more complicated and harder on the nerves. We're pretty locked for 3-6" min I think. 

This is a great call out because a lot of our “bigger” snows just have a wall of heaven that advects in from the west southwest. Some of the best pre event radars you can see as bright yellows come in from Knoxville. We are due.. I will say that to keep positive.

The operational Euro making a large shift with the track of the storm tells me we should rely a little heavier on the ensembles until it steadies.  But I like how each operational perturbation the last few days still gets us a MECS.

Ensembles have been leaning east all along. Don't be surprised if they lean further east in light of the operational. I'll be happy if they hold, but preferably improvile of course.

Huh?  We get 18-24" snowstorms here at least once, twice a winter.

Sadly, I don't think they do Blizzard Watches anymore.   Maybe mets here can confirm?

This is news to me.  Is this true?  At this time I could see counties along the bay east to the atlantic coast getting one in this kinda storm.  Just a first guess.

Blizzard Watches are no longer part of the Hazard issuances anymore. However, there are still Blizzard Warnings, but there is just a Winter Storm Watch issued with Blizzard wording. This is part of the Hazard Simplification that has been occurring the past 6+ years. This is also the case with Ice Storms where there are no more Ice Storm Watches, but there are Ice Storm Warnings.

I’m actually OK with the run as long as we don’t keep tending the wrong way

We need to stop this depresso talk right now from a half dozen here.  There is no “trending the wrong way” occurring nor in evidence of starting up.  Too many have some emotional issues that snow lovers  just don’t want entered into the mix. This is a happy time but unfortunately some choose to Never be happy. We view enough of the  wacked out depressos regularly but store that away for this event and   Save that for the therapist you are or should be seeing

The euro op has been a western outlier amongst the the eps the past few runs

a ridiculous meltdown from some individuals because the Euro ONLY showed 12-18" 

Yep. To be fair, the whiplash of this hobby is real. Last week the ensembles all showed big hits, but the OPs were right in showing an advisory snowfall for many with the big snows to the south. Now it’s “the ensembles are too far east” and the OPs doing the opposite.

Well @mitchnickis getting his wish. J/K

Remarkable opposite of the more amped Ukmet solution. However, still way to early to worry among a miss to the East.  

The good news is that we still have 4 more days of waxing and waning. The bad news is the ensembles and some operationals say we clearly cannot, for whatever reason, shake the seasonal pattern even with the wave changes later in the season. Crazy.
