OTS.

This storm really goes both to our NW and to our SE. State College PA will get 10"(Yes I was there for 5 years and I'm going against models.) " NYC will get 10" NrN Georgia may get 10". We will get 4-6" and the dryslot.

850MB and 700MB close off too far noprth for us, this is a classic too DC dryslot Miller B. Hopefully iut won't be as bad as 2005

This post makes no sense.

no that is not a joke. He made that statement a couple of months ago. I believe.

Not donsutherland, but the whole "verifying" statement. It's not verifying, only BOS has gotten worthwhile snow and much of the region has been above average-normal.

And Iowa and Minnesota. Just about every location in the country is above average snowfall aside from the dca/bwi region, and even we are very close to average I believe so far.

I don't think very many predicted a coast to coast above average winter is basically my point, and it has been a tremendously snowy winter coast to coast for the most part.

Great news.

the euro ens has been steady for some time now tho there were some slight shifts nw.. the op is seems stable too. with them basically on top of eachother it's hard to think they are way wrong i guess.

The ensemble mean shifted NW a few times and the operational followed 12 hours later. Having them aligned now is a good thing. Be nice if GFS would do the same.

just looked at the individual SREF members, its really ugly.

6 bring the inverted trough through completely dry, moderate snowfall for Oh and PA then blows up for New England...even too far north for NYC to get much

5 give us a very small snowfall 1" or so, then blow up in time for NYC

6 give us 2-3"

only 4 still show a significant event 3"plus

Things are definitely becoming weighted in the wrong direction, the culprit is the H5, just about all the SREF track it north of us now. Some by a LARGE margin, some track it over northern PA and imply it might even not do much for NYC. there are a few northern new england specials in there.

SREFs were way too far west Dec 26th. They need to earn back our trust, I think.

The shift at 500 was the most troubling thing of the GFS. I'm not sure I care what the SREF says right now though.

true, not buying them yet but thats what they show. Like i said earlier to Randy, its still not something I want to see even if it is the Nogaps or SREF, bottom line is when I have an idea of what the biggest threat is, I never want to see it start cropping up in model solutions as we get closer in. BTW... the UKMET is not good, it has a good SLP track but at 72 hours its bone dry, the inverted trough is right over us, but the energy out west has not begun to transfer yet. There is light snow over the OH valley and some very light precip OTS and nothing in between. Looks very NOGAPS like in that regard. Judging from the interaction with the H5 it will probably blow up but too late for our area because the "window" for us is as that inverted trough comes overhead, once that is north of us its too late.

Dude, we aren't getting a big storm. Top end is five inches at most. Stop scaring the weenies.

That would be perfectly acceptable.

Glad to hear the Euro ensembles are lining up with the op. If both of those can't get the track in this thing three days out, then it's lost even more of its mojo and doesn't deserve the weight that it's ways been given.

I would tend to disagree. NJ and philly are northern mid atlantic. Md, va del are cent mid atlantic, but that is just me.

If you want to be picky, that's fine by me. But Delaware's gotten smoked this year, too!

And where's the southern Mid-Atlantic?
