not to be obnoxious but you realize this is a NYC/PHL thread in the NYC/PHL regional forum, right? And, I'm assuming most of us can tell what the GFS is depicting for DC, but thanks for the update.

Not to be obnoxious, but I think who posted that was just trying to be helpful. The times when it's rain in DC but there heavy snow in Philly and New York from a storm are really quite rare. If I was in Philly or NY and heard DC is going to get rain, I would be more than nervous that I could face a similar fate. Not saying it's never happened, but it's rare, especially if you are in Philly proper.

One 50 mile wide area will get some decent snow from the Norlun and most likely it'll be SNE.....otherwise yes its going in the garbage with maybe a couple of inches.

Lol the NAM is closer to a decent event than it ever was. It's going into the garbage, really?

With one breath you say the norlun feature has been waffling 250 miles back and forth and yet you say this event is done. You are contradicting yourself.

if you think a couple of inches is garbage then you either dont like snow or are just here to cause trouble. If you don't like snow, that is fine, but constantly posting that a threat is garbage when its still 84-90 hours away isn't productive to a good discussion of what is a very complicated synoptic setup we could all learn about.

In a set up like the GFS is showing (primary west with redeveloping low off the coast) you couldn't be further from the truth.

Taking the GFS as is, PHL would be a ptype potpourri , there were many GEFS members that ran the gamut even last night. That being said its a week away and I really don't know the outcome.

So basically, from now on, we should have the SE report to the MA, the MA report to NYC/PHL, NYC/PHL report to SNE and so on....all in the interest of being helpful of course. These things are all connected you know.

Thank you. That is what I'm saying. It's insane for people in Philly to be rooting for rain in DC while they expect to stay all snow. But, your right, at least the storm is there

There is an issue with the 12hr precip totals valid at hr 192 (look at the 24 hour total valid at that time instead....still good). Here's the SDM message (there was an problem introduced in the post processing with the summer GFS upgrade):

"SENIOR DUTY METEOROLOGIST NWS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE

NWS NCEP CENTRAL OPERATIONS CAMP SPRINGS MD

1526Z THU DEC 23 2010

ATTN...GFS MODEL INFORMATION..

AN INCONSISTENCY HAS BEEN UNCOVERED IN THE GFS 12 HR ACCUMULATED

PRECIPITATION AT FORECAST HOUR 192. THE 12 HR ACCUMULATION DOES

NOT REPRODUCE THE SUM OF THE PREVIOUS 2 SIX HOUR ACCUMULATIONS.

THIS ERROR WAS INTRODUCED WITH THE 27 JULY RESOLUTION INCREASE.

WE HOPE TO IMPLEMENT A CORRECTION BY THE END OF JANUARY, 2011.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT WITH THE ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION DATE WILL BE MADE

AS SOON AS IT IS DETERMINED. QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO

This is what I was saying all day yesterday....the weekend event is going to be garbage really.....light snows at best likely.......next week is the real deal.

There will likely be a Norlun feature this weekend but its been everywhere from PHL to Boston on the models so thats a complete crapshoot and someone will get very lucky. Otherwise a few inches maybe to freshen up the scenary in advance of a real storm.

Dont be such a downer, youre still in the game. Do you remember there was an inverted trough back in Feb 09 that gave Philly 8-10 inches of snow? You guys had two 8+ events that season and it was a La Nina ;)
