He is right, in other words, there will be another way for the storm to cancel itself.sad.gif

I might have to coin Patrick7032 "Storm Cancel Pat" for his early storm thread, haha.

No no, don't you go getting all negative on me. :lol: Although to be truthful, I'm not hyped about the potential here either. Regardless, the blocking does seem to be relaxing a bit...but of course that is only one part of the equation. We'll see.

I don't think this one is going to be a 0, like I said earlier, there is just way too much energy being thrown at the West Coast and a strong baroclinic zone that is forecasted to be in place.

Yeah no I agree, a nice pattern change even though it won't pan out as we thought it may.

but then you become 'Arctic Outbreak Cancel Baro"...for the pinned thread....:P

Haha I know--it was the kiss of death.

For real though, epic outbreak fail. Thankfully I kept my hype for this storm low as well, but some of those 7-9 day GFS/ECM runs were looking good, and I knew the potential. In my opinion potential not realized is a big downer. At least the nasty -NAO block will be gone for a bit.

i gotta admit i was kinda excited at the thought of a day or two of historic cold similar to jan '94 around here. Oh well...that probably would have crushed any kind of snow threat as well.

Yeah I was just being pessimistic like usual. I am disciplining myself for getting too excited about a storm threat too early twice in a row now. First the Plains New Years Storm of the Century fail, then this combined with the Arctic outbreak fail. Pessimism combined with realism is the best way to go.

Dude its ok to get excited, I'd rather be excited about every event and have half of them miss me, then to be meh about them and have them hit.

Ive been pretty impressed by the consistency displayed by the GFS wrt this storm. There have been minor run to run differences, but no wild 500 miles shifts thus far.

And it's true this doesn't look like a monster storm, but verbatim I'd say it has the potential for 2-4/3-5 type snows, especially NE of a GRB to CMH line.

I like how the models have been slowly nudging this storm south over time. I was never a big fan of my snow prospects when it was being depicted as a 980 over Lk Nipigon.

Yea the changes have been pretty big. Went from a 995 low going up into canada to a clipper that could come further south and bring moisture north. Even though it showed snow Se of the low when it went into cananda, you never feel good being in that position.

personally id rather the event be weak and pass to our NW and a secondary storm form along the BZ from the SW.

if we see a strong clipper, no chance of that and any followup storm will be along the coast or OTS.

basically, im rooting for a gradient pattern with cold air lurking, but not dominating.

I'm liking these thoughts, unfortunately i think we see the clipper trend stronger and south.
