Be great if we get the one that followed it 5 days later
I’m curious as to how things looked in the Northeast prior to this storm. I remember it was very warm here in the Carolinas with widespread 70s and 80s on the 15th and 16th leading up to it. Obviously there was very strong CAD that set up as the 17th saw temperatures falling throughout out the day
Earliest 80 degree days ever were from Feb that year. Warmest day until today for today was in feb of 1927.. We all know what happened in March of 1927.

My point forecast from them has rain / snow in the forecast. Pretty bold at D7 with record highs today!The KRDU afternoon discussion mentioned the word snow for next Tuesday saying this area would be on the cold side of the boundary that will set up. It is early in the game but this shows the NWS Raleigh office seems concerned about the potential this storm could bring.
Somebody better tell KRDU
Not very encouraging that’s for sure. Even the high country tho surprisingly gets blankedGFS crushes the Mid-Atlantic

Ok, after 2nd look it seems the SER backing off.
Deterministic runs. Even if we get a favorable crush job in the next few runs take with a snowflake's grain of salt.The GFS is still flopping around a bit much to accurately gauge whether the wedge is getting stronger or weaker.

Worst case scenario right here. We all get zilch and those insufferable DC area snow weenies get a 2010/2016 snowmaggedon redux.GFS crushes the Mid-Atlantic

Just getting into that magical D6 ensemble window where legit trends start to emerge. This is why I’ve given up tracking the fools gold as you so aptly put it of D10 anything.This is headed the wrong direction fast on the EPS, and the 18z continues it. EPS this year has been absolute fools gold for snow means View attachment 167825View attachment 167824
Isn't this when the other one two weeks ago started heading South? lol I see what you're saying....this isn't the range you want to start seeing negativeJust getting into that magical D6 ensemble window where legit trends start to emerge.

That’s what I’m saying - the real trends start around this time. All these fantasy runs are basically meaningless. The EPS and Euro even had a blip run around D4 that still fooled me but better than being fooled for a week plus lol.Isn't this when the other one two weeks ago started heading South? lol I see what you're saying....this isn't the range you want to start seeing negative
How can the AI be so steady in the light of all other guidance heading north? What is it seeing?From what I could tell, the 18z AI stayed pretty similar. It looked like temps dropped below freezing for western NC (probably from Raleigh west) and maybe getting down in the upstate just a bit. From the freebie maps, I didn't see any big changes.

AI is throwing in the towel. Definitely warmer. Little frozen outside the mountains.How can the AI be so steady in the light of all other guidance heading north? What is it seeing?
Yeah, it looks like this one is for the mid Atlantic and NE. They’re due.AI is throwing in the towel. Definitely warmer. Little frozen outside the mountains.
AI obviously not good with detecting the power of the ridge in the 7-10 day period. NotedAI is throwing in the towel. Definitely warmer. Little frozen outside the mountains.
post the mapFrom what I saw on the cheap maps, the AI had surface temps aob freezing for the triad for the entire event. If that happens, it's a major winter storm in those areas regardless of the form of precip.

Yeah we've lost the AI, I don't see this one coming back either sure hope it proves me wrong.Yeah, it looks like this one is for the mid Atlantic and NE. They’re due.
Yeah, AI is a gonerYeah we've lost the AI, I don't see this one coming back either sure hope it proves me wrong.
