Haha just saw that and then took at look at the 850s and yep, they look very similar to the Euro's last two runs.
Some of the meteorologists I follow are confused by the surface results this run given what the upper levels looked like.
It's pretty embarrassing when Europe is doing superior forecasting our our behalf.
Thanks GOP! But at least NOAA is finding a way. Still ridiculous it is taking so long.

12Z NAM. Up to about 30 inches in places.

I cannot fucking believe we're getting another 2ft fucking snow storm again...sigh

Goddamn.
The NWS is not sold on the 30" totals being predicted by some of the models here. They believe the models are having a difficult time realistically creating the storm as it intensifies and overcompensating on the snow totals because of it.
Someone may get 30" out of this, but some things like a negative NAO are not there which makes me suspicious that the models are overamping the storm somehow.

The worst part about storms like these is the snow removal. I don't know about the burbs, but the city sucks at actually moving it out of the way.

shit...small world. I live basically there with you.
some municipalities are good, others are horrible. last year was obviously rough for everyone, but typically my area isn't horrible with the major roads. it is all of the smaller, neighborhood roads that they take forever to clean

Wtf...I'm in Malvern, and the word is going around that we should start thinking about packing an overnight bag. Will probably be stuck here tomorrow.
No, but he stayed at a Holiday Inn.
I don't think I ever stayed at a Holiday Inn. My family always stayed at either a Best Western or a Homewood Suites.

Anecdotal, but a relative that works for the MTA got a call that pretty much everyone has to go in to work at 8PM tomorrow, and it might be be a day or two of overtime. Last time that call came in this far in advance was the 2010 December Blizzard.
Looks like NYC's preparing for the worst.

No work Tuesday most likely! Benefit of working at a school.
Damn we're gonna get buried.

Actually you didn't.
I remember. My soccer team got kicked out of two Holiday Inns in about 3 months time.

/\ Heads up: 90th percentile (which is what that map is) is worst case scenario!
Yep. We'll see if the Euro verifies. The run has started we should see it all within the next 10 minutes.

Oh god, me too. I studied history. If I could have a do-over I'd study meteorology in a heartbeat.
Searching "12z euro" on twitter has meteorologists tweeting that it just came out and holy shit and all that, but no pics or details yet. Aaaggh

Do you not use public transportation? I'm so happy it's missing DC.

I did Computer Science. I guess I could brush up on high performance computing stuff and go for a masters and that'll be my ticket in.

So the above map may be accurate for the Philly area? 24 inches would shut down this city. Jesus.

12Z euro showing a potential historic snowstorm.
It's funny to me because I was born and raised in the burbs of Boston. That city knew how to do snow removal.

Kinda sad that we aren't getting any of this blizzard here in Cleveland. Been way too know by since we've had a good monster snow storm.
It doesn't start til 10AM Monday morning in. The heavy stuff is not hitting the area til 7PM Monday evening. 10PM-12AM for cities further north.
Yo I'm in Maryland, need me a snow day. No way I'm going in to the office on Tuesday if this shit is going all the way through Wednesday. At the very least I'll go in on Monday and see how early I have to leave depending on the accumulation.
I know this is a northeast thread but do any weathergaf gurus think Maryland will be getting a piece of this? In MD we shut down for damn near everything unlike north of here.

No, tonight is just flurries
Is there a donation page for EURO?
They're the real MVP
Expect the media to roll out the sirens within the hour.
I'm heading to Sears for snow boots right now
Maryland could see a few inches from the clipper before it transitions into a nor'easter as it moves up the coast.
I just remembered all I have is left overs. Gotta go get food ASAP.

2.5ft+ of snow on the level plus gusts to 80mph. Drifts will be crazy.

What's the timetable for snowfall around Manhattan? I have work tomorrow night (driving in from eastern Queens) and am wondering if I should skip it.
