From JB

"So I like the 3- to 6-inch amounts from D.C. to NYC, with 12 northwest of the cities. I think heavy snows spread back west all the way to what is becoming the I-99 corridor from W.Va. to New York, but if you want an interstate axis that sees heaviest snows in the mid-Atlantic, it's more 81 than 95 in this case"

Larger context from which the above was quoted -

"I have no changes to my ideas on this storm. I believe that the GFS will be forced to continue to correct west. The Euro ensembles are farther west than its own operational this morning, but a track inside Hatteras to over the Delmarva, then just east of ACY to Cape Cod by Thursday morning (the storm is west of CHS Wednesday morning) is the idea. Of the other two big storms in NYC, this will have a track the farthest west...

....There are some real problems with the storm, not just the modeling, which somehow can't figure out that the northern stream is going to anchor this enough to pull it up farther west (actually the Canadian does, and is more in line with my thinking now, but it was a bit east yesterday). The problem seems to be with modeling trying to drop heights all over... it collapses heights from the northwest to the northeast of the storm faster than it should, and this tries to allow the escape. Given the ridging off the East Coast, this is not likely, and a stronger farther west correction is likely to the U.S. model with time. Again, it's stepping that way.

...The air mass coming from the northwest is NOT arctic, and so the cold side of the storm may have to work to cool enough for the big snows in the cities. It will certainly be the warmest of the other two events of this genre... of course, D.C. and BWI are still saying what two events?...

...So I like the 3- to 6-inch amounts from D.C. to NYC, with 12 northwest of the cities.

We've been seeing an overall west trend (as usual) in the GFS. Last week I thought that Sunday night would be the run that started to lock on to a solution, that looks like today's 12z instead.

The ensembles have been much further west, and it will be interesting to see them today. I would imagine this could potentially move another 50 miles west once to hour 54. The euro and gem (as we know) has been rather consistent, with the gem too wrapped up at times.

My first guess would have the following QPF boundaries:

.25 from AFJ-IDI-AVP

.5" line from Bedford to MDT to Bethlehem

.75 from LNS to EWR

Hopefully the euro backs me up!

How bout those flyers?

Is it playoff time yet? Keep worrying something stupid is going to happen that screws over our season.

Wow got down to -22F at 7:35 this morning. I think we either tied the old record or beat it by 1F which Is impressive considering it was for 1970! To bad this storm isn't really going to affect me, good luck to you guys just south and east of me...

Gotta wait for the NCDC records to update. weight_lift.gif

We did well with Pronger out. This could very well be our year. We can beat anyone in the east.

You can instantly see the improvement with him back. Without him they really struggled with the basics like clearing the puck out of the zone and keeping it out of the slot. Not so much since he's been back.

Time to bring the cup home.

I'd say for the first time, we have a consensus building amongst the Euro/GEM/UKMet with the GFS a hair farther east. It's looking like I-81 and east, including the Poconos and Lehigh Valley, are in for a decent hit, with more modest snows farther to the west. At least until 0z.
