Euro keeps thew heavier snow to the south and brushes us with a moderate amount of snow. Not bad. We're talking 4 and a half days until first flakes, so we have a long way to go before we have a good idea on snow amounts for our area. Obviously a miss isn't out of the question too, but the potential looks good.

*for entertainment purposes for those around MMU*

 

Saturday - 12Z Suite @ *10:1 ratios* - MMU - net gain or loss from 00z Friday runs 

 

- CMC:  5” (- 7.9”) 

- GFS: 5” (+ 5”)

- EURO: 4” (-13”)

- ICON: 18.3” (+ 18.1”)

- UKIE: 18” (+ 11.6”)

 

Blend Of Models = 10”

 

Based on this suite alone, two clear and tightly clustered camps around 5 and 18 lol

Glad that every model shows a major storm of some type, although the track is still way early to be determined b/c of the chaotic fast pattern and possibility for kicker/confluence shortwaves to either crush it south and/or kick it east. DC/Baltimore is probably the most favored area with lesser chances headed NE. We’re still in the game for sure but odds are best to our SW.

It's great that all the models give snow at this point. UKMET is now the most tucked with the GFS the most progressive. AI moved West which was great however the CMC moved closer to the GFS however is still a good 6 to 12 hit. 

Still 5 days out however we are seeing the goal posts here. If you take out the outliers of the UKMET and the AI we have at minimum a 6 to 12 inches event as it looks at this time. Probably more like 8 to 14.

Love to see a megalopolis storm has been a while.

Amendment. EURO is now the southeast outlier. Wish it was any other model. Still gives 1 to 3.

Typical model range when the models lose it

Doesn't look like the models have lost it or neccearilly are about to. They all show a potent snowstorm for the midatlantic with varying tracks... giving warning level snow for the metro.

A compromise between the Euro and Ukie would make everyone happy.

Yes everyone minus euro 12z (which is advisory level) show a warning level event. Now if the euro starts to do this and other models Follow id worry

It is amazing that the EURO track/snowfall hammers the exact spots that have been hit all year. 

Which I don't think is realistic, I think the window for this to hit DCA/BWI and miss everyone else is a narrow one.  I suspect this hits all the big cities or none.  Could see it where the Cape/Islands/SE NJ and maybe Delmarva are hit but not a case where the former occurs.

Euro is basically the Tuesday event just a couple of inches…

Boxing Day, I remember telling people at work it was going out to sea, this was just before the winter break. Man, did I get some flack for that.....it's just too early to know, but IMO this hasn't been our year and that is probably going to be the story. I'll be a monkey's uncle if I have to watch another southern storm this year.

IIRC, that was the deal with Boxing Day; it was going to miss or hit a good chunk; even still, while it delivered some 32 inches in my region, not far to my west it was way less, which is rather unusual. It did hit all the coastal cities IIRC, but not Philly so much, which is further west.
