It doesn't dig the trough at all. It brings it to NY state and then lifts ne. It's almost like the next storm on its heels acts as a kicker. I don't know what to make of it, other than some more uncertainty.

The funny thing is a year ago we'd have felt pretty certain this wasn't good for a big snow here. Two years ago we'd already be looking at the next event. Skip to 2010/2011 and we may be in a position to look back at the NOGAPs locking prior to the Euro.

The Norlun is the GFS compromise for this system. It's torn between the two lobes of energy and doesn't know which one will dominate to it splits the difference. Only one will likely be the big dog but time will tell whether it's the one and done Euro or the late big dog per GFS/UK.

Well imo, the euro ensembles seem kind of weird, but why would I favor the 3' of snow the gfs gives me? I think it just goes to show you how complicated everything is, and the Feb '78 analogs aren't helping the weenies. Still lots of time with this, but I remain fairly optimistic, but also on guard.

I'd take it. Euro gives me 0.5 melted for a 3-6 type of deal. GFS/UK gives me snowmageddon. Obviously I'd prefer the latter but chances are eastern NE does not get skunked.

I agree Jerry, I think anyone from taunton north to 495 coastal nh and downeast maine is looking great for snow. Anywhere west of there will need the euro to jump on the first vortmax and dig further south. Eastern new england looks to be in great shape!!

Still solidly 100 miles too far east in the mean at d5. And does it show any inverted trof or bulding west indicating membership may have some ideas?

Yeah it has a trough extending west so we would probably get some light snow, but I didn't expect them to be this far east. I'm scratching my head on this...seems a little weird, but I just don't know when we're 5 days out.

Because the EURO just went from taking the PV over HAT to keeping it in Canada in one run, while the GFS maintained a shred of of continuity relative to the 06z run and the UK now shakes hands with it.

Well the gfs was leaps from 00z too. We don't have a 06z euro to compare. I don't trust the UK 5 days out. It shook hands with everyone last storm.

All I'm saying is that we are 5 days out, and all types of solutions are on the table.

True, but your talking about the deterministic model solutions which can be wildly off in this timeframe. The Ensembles. are the way to go still.

I was just justifying my argument....it's not a slam dunk.

What is disconcerting is that the GFS and UK both have retrograde\inverted scenarios....those just about never work out.

I dunno....Euro from the inverted trof feature on the mean must have some members with big hits. GFS/GGEM do. There is a nice signal for significant snow. Details to be worked out.

It lost some of the spread that the 00z had. What's surprising to me, is the lack of digging at H5. That really threw me for a loop, and makes me suspect it a little.

Yeah 00z ensembles were much better.

Figured, so my point was just that this solution is such a big change yet again from run to run, and the Euro is clearly not handling it well even at this time range. I do remember you and Will mentioning them a lot with the last one since they were more on target. I wasn't trying to say, "This is wrong! Me want snow!" just that it's stunning how the anomalous pattern is wreaking havoc again/still even with the king. I'm actually somewhat detached from this. I got a lot more than I bargained for last weekend, so I will live with an advisory event (which is what I expect at this point) and hope for 6-8 at best.
