How do you remember this off the top of your head! But yeah, just looked you are right....some similarities.A little Jan 2018'esque.
Easy to remember when you only get a handful of winter storms down here lol.How do you remember this off the top of your head! But yeah, just looked you are right....some similarities.
How many hours are we away from a possible onset in eastern NC? Trying to get an idea with maps.
Ukie also more GFS/CMC/AIFS-like:AIFS was much closer to a GFS/CMC solution at 06z than a ECMWF solution. Here's all four:

I do think the Euro is being too stingy at this stage, but let's see some recovery before declaring it out to lunch.

Key will be where do the euro AI and EPS go. If they stop or even slightly reverse course I'll be good with the 12z run. If they keep tracking east and more ensembles begin to support that well....Again.. a general agreement. Going to come down to the fine details whether this is a 4" or 40" snow.
I'm 110% sure the GFS will back off. Always does.
Yeah, I've been looking into potential ratios with this, this is strongly dependent on how moist we can get the DGZ zone, however I don't think 20:1 ratios can be ruled out in some areas.You guys are going to be sick of me saying this by go time but this is not our normal scenario. You may only need half an inch of QPF to get in double digits.
ICON CMC GFS blend would be awesome.Canadian still a big hit but just not as crazy as the GFS.

Agree, the insanely cold temps and cold ground temps leading in allow us to truly maximize our qpf more than any potential (all snow) storm I can remember recentlyYou guys are going to be sick of me saying this by go time but this is not our normal scenario. You may only need half an inch of QPF to get in double digits.
The position of the low is what makes Miller A snow dreams come true in the Carolinas. It's good to see another outrageous snow total map at the end, even if it is the GFS. Let's get this system back to the west and the maps we were seeing overnight with the rest of the models.
I agree and like I said yesterday, I am usually very suspect of higher ratios snows east of the mountains. However this has all the makings to be just that. Main energy is N/S based. 850s are very low basically the whole week and only drop as the storm wraps up.You guys are going to be sick of me saying this by go time but this is not our normal scenario. You may only need half an inch of QPF to get in double digits.
UK is a complete miss to the east. Just a little bit of difference with the GFS and Canadian.
