Should reaaaaaally do a dprog/dt with H5 and MSLP before panicking. Trending towards the northern coastal solution with time (e.g. what the 12Z EC and EPS printed out).

Always use 500mb over surface progression until your inside of 72 hours.

Can somebody with either a meteorology degree or extensive knowledge chime in with what they’re seeing? Cause the weenie cliff diving is annoying as shit lol. This is why I despise long range clown maps. People see one run showing 24” and now a 8-12 or 12-16 type event causes pandemonium

that's why the scroll key is your best friend sometimes...

My rule for complex situations is to go with the dumbest model. It won't overthink things and just spit out the most reasonable solution. ICON it is

Ji's rule of going with the least-snowy model has been lurking in the back of my head since the 12z canadian run... I'm still hopeful for this one tho!

The real ones know, there is ALWAYS a hidden kicker lurking to pop up on the modeling about this time. At least, when it affects the warning-level snow-hole zone currently in effect for six years and counting between my area and Havre de Grace...

The models are simply unable to produce an accurate forecast 5 days or more in advance, and that's being kind.

Heading out to dinner with the wife for late Valentine's Day right after 18z EURO. Much need 2 hour break from this madness. @North Balti Zen, @Maestrobjwa I'm guaranteeing both of you at least 6 inches a WSW that verifies. 

Alright buddy the stakes can't be any higher with that guarantee--counting on you to reel it in :lol:

I prefer starting there too. In this case, I would not expect the GFS to cover the gap between it and the EC in just one run, esp since previous runs weren't getting most of the snow from the coastal and the developing mid-level low. So, if it's heading that direction, you'd *expect* to see a dip in QPF first, then rise again if it latches onto more of an EC-type evolution.

I think 00z is it---we will know by tonight and you know what i mean but we will know

I agree, this feels like that medium range time slot where sometimes they lose it and bring it back to what they were originally showing in the 6-7 day range.  We’ll see.  I’ll be happy if we can get a cold accumulating snow.
