Remember, it was the 12z EURO at D6 (or perhaps D5) that buried CMH in over an inch of liquid, all snow, with this storm.

Stick with the seasonal trends and completely throw out any solution showing these phase jobs in the medium range.

CMH is in a much better postion than you though, and certainly far better than me.

ive said it before, if i lived in ohio i would never want this pattern to ever end.

I woke up this morning expecting to make a pretty confident call but needless to say confidence has gone down. I think there's a danger of getting suckered in too much and assuming the trend will continue. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this type of model movement, then the bleeding stops and sometimes it tries to trend better at the last minute. One thing we should still have are above average ratios, which may not start out all that impressive but should trend better through the event. 15:1 event average is looking ok right now so then the question becomes how much precip do we get.

good point. nothing dramatic but could start coming in a bit juicier at least.

I want to stick with my original call of 2-5", but the trends are disconcerting. Still I'll ride it out until the 0z runs. At that point I'll readjust...

geezus...i didn't even catch that. lol see what staying up for the euro does to you?

Never works out for me when I stay up for the EURO so I go to bed wake up in the middle of the night take a pee then take a look at the EURO thats about 3am/4am...

I am still quite pestimistic on this storm I think the following QPF amounts

CVG- .40

Day- .35

CMH. 35

ILN- .37

IND- .35

WIth 18 to 1 ratios average which means a general 3-6 inches for most of us souther I 70 in Ohio. I'll take it. Actually it will be warning criteria snows for Cincinnati lol. I think this whole warning/advisory criteria is BS I clearly think they need to make Cincinnati etc in the same criteria as Dayton.

what about stl? I am guessing .42 if IND is .35

I got no qualms with the pattern overall. Weakly +NAO/weakly -AO/weakly +PNA is usually a good combination for Toronto, and it has delivered the goods, just in the form of modest but frequent snowfalls. Problem is getting a bigger storm to develop. Shot in the dark guess as to the causation behind that problem is that the moderately strong Nina is reaking havoc with the STJ, unlike in 2007-08 when we had a weaker Nina.

It is weird reading this thread because my area is pretty much the targer, and I am the only one who really posts from STL all the time.

I guess this means the 00z runs will start cutting down here.

or hell, why not just start with the 18z nam and get it over with fast.

STL is never the winner of a wide spread event.

Looks like it has a good chance to be this time.. Congrats :)

im pretty sure i've read somewhere that weaker ninas love the app runner.

Don't fall into the pessimism trap. Guidance has continued to point to a nice dump for STL. You're looking good IMO.

The past 3 seasons confirm my suspicion that the atlantic plays a bigger factor around here than the actual strength of the ENSO.

Tehse past two seasons prove -NAO does nothing for us if you want big storms.

yes i agree.

but also, that exactly what i meant when i said i wouldnt want this pattern to ever end. ....whatever it is and what is causing it.

it is EXTREMELY disturbing (lol) to see new england hit by major snow and ice today again, and again likely on friday in this pattern that we are now currenltly in and have been for some time. something much larger going on here.,,,,,3 events in a row, i suppose could be normal variance, but to deliver 0 snow up here in those 3 instances....highly suspect.
