And there's a difference between getting a foot in your backyard while Boston gets 3 ft, and getting a foot and watching Raleigh getting 3 ft.

Or getting 3" near the base of the Catoctin's while the mixing bowl gets 6.

I mean there is a difference between getting 8” and being upset someone else got 12” and getting 3” when others got 8-12”.  I’m fine with not being the jack so long as I get into the “meat” of the storm and not another fringe 

This is kinda where I'm at. I don't wanna be left saying "Where's the beef" while I hear reports of pummeling elsewhere. Just give me the deepest snow I've measured in 9 years (7"+) and I can be grateful for that despite the weenie in me always hunting the big dog, lol

Ok, GFS about to begun.  I'm gonna do my best.  Not gonna try to be first, but try to be righterer.   Except with the SV snow maps.  Take that shit with a grain of salt.

This is going to be the most important GFS until the next run.   Lots of people's well being and marriages are counting on this.

looks like a hair too far S and E...but we do get some snow on the ICON

So damn close to a capture. And this is what i keep reiterating. That phase is a hair late then we get this (ICON). But a capture,  then those places on the fringe go from nuisance/secs to mid/high end mecs in a blink.

I think people are COMPLETELY missing that point - thanks for making it again.  It's not being out of the jack, it is missing the good stuff entirely.  24 hours of snow that accumulates 3 inches kinda stuff. That has been that way for years and years for many of us up this way.  

And out this way.

Ya'll are funny, that was an ICON version of an MECS considering how progressive and dry it typically is...and ya'll calling it a scraper 

You must’ve missed the icon run from yesterday at 12z

Yes, it went S and E of the HECS it had and relative to the other models it's a.....scraper.    

None of us would kick it out of bed.

Dude crazy how close this was to a monster. Would not have taken much to phase cleaner and a bit earlier and a capture.

I keep an eye on other areas for skiing purposes...and to give you an example for a week the ICON was way SE of most other guidance with the storm this weekend up in New England, along with the Euro AI BTW...showing the storm redeveloping off the coast v cutting up into upstate NY, showing the rain snow line never getting into VT when other guidance had it getting all the way into northern VT almost to Canada.  Guess which models won and the ICON finally caved last night on that...now has the storm cutting with the mix getting into northern VT.  You have to apply the models typical bias to their solutions when judging what is or isn't a "good" run.  It's different if the euro which is the most amplified model typically is weak and progressive.  We want to see the euro cranking up some 970 monster.  The ICON...its find if its weaker since thats its typical error.

I just meant the bulk of precip is offshore but I agree for this model this is a good run at this range. Handling of tpv where just small shifts have large consequences makes modeling this type of event tough

From the latest LWX discussion:

(snip)

Precip will spread across the region Saturday. Warm air aloft
will overrun cold air near the surface, with a snow/sleet mix
possible briefly at onset for many areas along and west of I-95.
Accumulations of snow/sleet should be minimal as warmer air
moves in aloft quickly, but a bout of freezing rain is becoming
increasingly likely west of US-15 in particular Saturday
afternoon and evening. Held off on any watches as 0.25" probs of
ice are still modest, but the trend especially in hi-res
guidance is up.

Low pressure will move across the region Saturday night and keep a
prolonged period of moderate rainfall in the region. An additional
half to three-quarters of an inch of rain is possible. Because of
cloud cover and rainfall Saturday night, low temperatures will
bottom out in the middle 30s, which is about 10 degrees above
average.

 

Upslope snow in the Appalachians are expected to taper and come to
an end gradually on Monday. Gusty winds will diminish as well
throughout the day. Highs on Monday will be nearly 20 degrees
colder than Sunday when the cold front will have passed through
the region. One thing to note, cold high pressure that had
set up shop behind the passing cold front on Sunday will be
reinforced by a second area of high pressure Monday night through
Wednesday. This high will keep temperatures Monday night, Tuesday,
Tuesday night, and Wednesday below average. This reinforcement of
cold air could set the stage for a winter storm that could bring
accumulating snow to much of the region Wednesday night through late
Thursday.

As more information comes in, we will be fine-tuning the timing,
precipitation type, and precipitation amounts with this mid-week
storm.
