Or we just have what we have now and everybody's pretty much satisified.

Yeah, but everyone likes to quote "climo" but then seem to think we can keep on going with Woodbridge, VA and Salisbury, MD getting slammed with powder every few days. We pretty much need them to mix or we will keep getting fringed.

although I'm with you on this, I don;t think our friends in Woodbridge, VA feel like they have been slammed

Yep, SREFs had a closed h5 in the OV toward the end of the run

comparing 60 hrs this run to 6Z, thickness are little lower here in response to the apparent digging further south of the western vort

we look better than 6Z imho, at least with respect to temps

Like Will said earlier in the thread, there is a sweet-spot here and there are factors at play that can keep us there.

Oh boy...some people are going to like the 12Z NAM....some really aren't I fear.

Maybe the latter will only be in S. MD.

best news I've heard out of you this winter!

EDIT: you need to be near that changeover line for the best snows in these double barreled systems

Um, go back to page 14/15 of this thread.

Here.

"Me neither....but I like the "relative consistency" of the GFS and the ECE mean which has been slowly creeping west with each run. Actually the 12Z ECE mean just took more than a "creep" west. The "weakness" at H5 ahead of the n-stream s/w is creating a nice little path up the coast rather than all the fun to get shunted out NE or ENE from HAT. Obviously there's the risk that my "encouraging weakness" means we end-up with a low running up through the eastern piedmont, but I seriously doubt that'll happen. I really do think that we'll see a decently developed southern stream system early enough, and far enough west, to result in a nice snowfall. Actually I'm just plain confident now...I think Tue/Wed is going to work out well here. As long as it's acknowledged that "well" is a relative term, but I think we should see a good 2" - 4", perhaps even 3" - 5" if not 6" event. I think NJ, NYC, and SNE are really going to get clobbered as the true fun, and explosive deepening, is going to be a LI to the Cape event."
