Here's the GGEM..wow.

Yikes, coast hugger. I still think it's definitely an option on the table and wouldn't be shocked to see the models collectively lurch back to it in the future. Our big snow here all depends on the degree of the confluence over SE Canada and the ridge over central Canada. If that begins to weaken or head east too fast, there's little to stop it from hugging the coast or even having more of an inland reflection if the phasing takes place.

PTB and PSUHazletonWx are still in the game for this one. :thumbsup:

Some of the Mets in the 0z Model discussion thread discussed the confluence to the NE and its placement conducive for cold air filtering, even with a low track that close, especially on the Gem.

Great point. Even with the primary as far north as the GGEM has it--most areas away from probably the immediate beach will remain all snow.

Uh no. That is snow in Philly

With a low track like that, it would be very hard to keep it snow over I-95. I can't remember the last time we've had a low on top of Cape May and still have all snow for NYC and PHL, not to mention an ugly dryslot. This might be the time it's different, but I would never want a low sitting there if I wanted all snow without a dryslot staring me right in the face.

The GGEM doesn't have the greatest track record though, so I wouldn't concern myself too much with the solution at this stage (or really any solution). It's just a solution that's on the table right now.

The surface low actually tracks northeast from that point and deepens rapidly. It winds up east of Boston and off the Cape. That's a snow track for the I-95 corridor. It might be a dryslot type situation for Eastern Long Island..but the cold flow to the north and the strong dynamic cooling underway would keep that all snow for the big cities in all likelihood. This is all a moot point, though..the solution will change in 6 hours.

Yeah as Forky said, "there is enough confluence NE of us to not really worry me. you have to look at more than just the low track," as well as Storm at Sea, "In the last two winters, temperatures have NOT been an issue with the blocking in place for the I-95. I suspect that we will have a continuation of this tendency......"

So, I guess there is evidence that Cold air will be present even with a low that close, also agreeing with you.
