That is right screw them New Yorkers we finally beat them at something :scooter: .

Damn Mitch that edit broke my heart they beat us again.

they actually squeeze out another .07" over the next 12 hours....big deal, that won't accumulate to much up there

but they are no where near the 1.25-1.5" they kept getting on the models leading up to the Christmas storm

I was just teasing anyway, even though i hate New Yorkers :thumbsup: i still hope the whole east coast get's rocked.

Just looking over the 06Z Nam and really don't know how this would play out. Looking at the surface features I like that 1036 high which is in a good position and would maybe argue for a coastal storm. Also like the confluence setting up in the mid Atlantic and the northeast. Seems like the Northern energy is holding back somewhat though and most of the Mets seem to feel that is the key to getting it up the coast.

84 HR 06Z NAM.

Looks like the 006 DGEX has a slightly different solution to throw on the table. Hard to read from the charts I have available but it looks like it brings the southern low a little farther north off of Cape Hatteras and the out to sea. Looks like some interaction with that low as it leaves and with the northern energy that is sweeping behind it so it does provide for a decent snow.

CoastalWx in the New England thread wrote:

06z ensembles again, west of op.

That appeared to be a general theme from last night's runs too. For the red taggers, out of curiosity, is there anything to be drawn from the ops being further east with the storm than their members? Or, more generally, what should the ensembles be used for in guiding an understanding of a developing system?

06Z GFS looks very promising. Still shows it a little to far off the coast for a MEC in the mid Atlantic but still provides a decent snowfall.

Looking at this though really has me wondering how close this is. Not really sure about that extension of the low to the west especially in the second frame. I would think that you would have less of that feature and more of a consolidated low closer to the coast.

I am kind of interested in what the ensemble shows. If I were a betting man I would think that there will be some pleasant surprises with the mean and the members.

The 06z GFS ensemble means look very good for a MEC with it being west of the ops track. The precip totals are impressive for a mean.

06Z GFS Mean

This is what I was referring to in a previous post. The GFS Op was leaving the low strung out to long coming up the coast whereas the Ensemble mean consolidates it fairly quickly.

06 GFS @120

06 GFS ENS Mean @120

Looked like the Euro Op was quick with the low as well. You saying the ensemble members were west I would think that was a sign that the low was a little slower?

Never mind just checked for myself. Stalls that low right off the MD, DEL coast. Would love to see that low another 100 miles closer to the coast.

I'm encouraged simply because the models said we would get a coating of snow this morning and we got it

12/26 there were a number of short range models calling for 2-4" to the biter end and we got a coating

this morning was a baby step, but at least we didn't fall flat on our face with a very minor event

We saw Wes feeling's already he thought the 0Z GFS is the best we could do around here.

But he might have been stupid so early in the game. Still to get a really big storm the upper lows going to have to close off. Neither the euro or GFS show that solution but the nogaps sure does and the ggem looks pretty wet. I'll be writing something for CWG later this morning.

the 13-15 day GFS looks like something the Weenie of the year would draw up

You mean this storm wont verify? Although not this big of a hit the GFS has been consistent with a monster around this time frame!

Im still drooling over the 00Z GGEM for Tuesdays storm. Ill take 1"+ QFP!

But then again I am just a weenie...
