Dear lord eps at those totals the Indies gotta have some roids in there!

sroc4 wrote:Well as expected we have seen models go back and forth; to and fro, and the final soln wouldn't show its self until at least Monday.  Pattern recognition and model consistency, these two things will lead the way.  The NAM, although has performed relatively well this winter has been very erratic with its surface output the past 24hrs.  However it has looked similar at H5 to the Euro.  One thing that MUST be kept in mind will be how far the northern frindge of the precip actually gets vs how far north it appears to get in modeling will likely be different.  In all likelyhood the northern frindge will be further than modeled.  

I don't have the time to do an in depth analysis so I will simply post the EPS individual members snow map trand.  Pay little attention to the actual amounts on these maps, but rather the trend in snow axis placement, and notice the number of members zeroing in on a warning criteria type event for the last 4 runs beginning with 12z on the 17th and ending with last nights 00z.
