12Z GEFS *MASSIVE SNOW HIT NEXT WKND* Since THU I've told you about THIS particular storm and pattern and now we have a solid agreement in the GFS ensembles for a major snowstorm in the MidAtlantic + Northeast next weekend. You don't get more classic in a track than this!

WEEKEND STORM REMAINS FASCINATING Operational models not going to give you the best feel but it's the ensembles that has my interest. The GFS ensembles show consistency in intensity and position on a low for Saturday. These trends are being driven by a stronger MT ridge

*CAREFUL* WITH THE INFO.. Cringing seeing people post "Euro went east" You can see why the euro (incorrectly) modeled SLP east because of the flare up of convection. In reality you *should* have a low tucked NW given closing trough. *If I saw the trough open up-storm over!

INCREDIBLE SNOW #Mammoth Lakes hits over 300” and much more to come. A simple dog walk here could become a life threatening ordeal as ground blizzards appear without warming! Likely another 50-100” over the next wk. ~670” is all-time record set in 2010

Going to fall hard on the sword.. way low on my forecast. Missed by 2-4” in many areas and that’s not acceptable! Timing was good but the change over and depth of cold air was just totally underestimated by me! Learned a lot about this one and promise to do better @FOX29philly
