I mean this sincerely, can we really be upset at this winter though? It's been cold and we've had plenty of 1-3 events....but we've had a lot of days with snow cover

If winter were to end today id rate it a B- 

We're damn near normal snowfall off 1-3" snowfalls lol

Nah.  Now we very little support for a hit for this subforum.  Its been 2 days since the GFS showed a hit and the Euro has trended away to gone. Lesser models following suit.   I don’t think any majors showed a hit today, even for the last 36 hours…except maybe the ukie.  So why WOULD you think this has a realistic chance?  The answer can’t be just cuz it happened before.  Basically no support right now.  It’s also a very rare storm setup so, no surprise, we won’t experience one.  Almost nothing going for it except if success is being within 500 miles of it.  If we were looking at it from the point of view of someone who didn’t want the storm - we have nothing to fear.

It has been a decent winter. However with below normal temps December through February, I'd like to have at least slightly above normal snowfall instead of the slightly below normal snowfall that we have to this date. Hopefully we can add on some more Thursday, but obviously that's very questionable right now.

Gfs is legit flurries… this thing might be dead by euro run tonight 

Doesn't look promising.  But similarly, model consensus isn't always a bad thing 4 days out, even if the desired results arent there.   The same data is being ingested into each model, and the same data is not always useful data until all of the energy is on the continent and begins to interact.  Models follow suit for a reason, and diverge for a reason. I'm not convinced that the same signal doesn't still exist.  Give me 3 straight runs of confluence winning out within 96 hour lead time and ill fly the white flag. 

 

Looking forward to to the runs tomorrow morning.    Taco bell is always reliable.

Agreed. We have had consistent snow cover out here. It’s felt like winter. B- is spot on. 
 

that being said I’m ready for spring

I really believe this isn't the end of our big storm tonight. I believe we will start to see a change with tomorrow night's model run or Monday morning at the latest. Time will tell. I sensed this happening when I gave an update to my coworkers at midday. I was concerned about the euro and sure enough the euro went the other direction. There is a lot of volatility on the Plainfield right now and I believe the models do not have a grip on it and won't until we get this weekend storm out of here.

Ah, common'.... im literally 6 weeks into my 9 weeks of non-24/7 work.... take one for the team and allow me one good plowable storm.  

 

...then, bring on the heat, drunken boaters, bennys/ahoobies/googans, thunderstorms, sunburn, and crippling insomnia.

I can't give a B- when I'm sitting at less than 15".  It def felt more like winter.  I guess I'll give a grade on April 1st.  This threat isn't dead yet either.

There’s no mechanism to make this move back northwest. The northern stream acts as a kicker and if it’s not perfectly places with the storm, then we end up with a southern slider. Aside from 2021 and Jan 2022, the fast PAC jet since 2019 has been in charge. That won’t change

So nothing will change in 4-5 days ? Okay

Yea I’m giving it an F if nothing changes waste of cold. More salt accumulation on streets this year then snow

It can, if spacing is being depicted incorrectly.  This is where I would like to learn from the current maps.  Is there a way to embed loops?  Most are way too large in file size to post here.

Yes No way it’s a b. It’s a c at best

This just isn't true at all. Every model but the GFS was showing a massive hit just last night. In fact, the CMC was a huge interior hit as well. Bad trends today but lets not act like there wasn't a near consensus of a major storm just 24 hours ago. I'm still not counting this thing out, we'll have to wait for this current storm to get out of the way then we'll get a better sampling of the next storm. I'm not going to discount it when most of the major models had a huge storm for a few days prior to this one.
