Oh how I've missed thee, GFS fantasy land storms

Just read a comment from MillvilleWx in the MA thread that expectations need to be in check for early next week - top end amounts will be in the 2-4" range at best, and that's for those who are in the bullseye. He admitted he's not invested in it and he is moving on to spring.

GFS looking nice for 12 Z for this coming Monday into Tuesday

Time to move on to Spring threads looks like.

This was the gfs yesterday for today’s system: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs&region=neus&pkg=mslp_pcpn_frzn&runtime=2026022512&fh=30 Talk to me when the euro shows me a snowstorm.

Guess this thread ends up for me? 1-2" around here in N MN.

I remember it well...part of the extremely underperforming March/April 2018 period. We had a really amazing pattern and were very unlucky to only get one snowstorm out of it, and yes even with the time of year. We had the miller b rug pull storm on March 8th. There was a good threat around March 14th that got suppressed. We did get the very good storm March 20th but then there was a boundary wave early April that went just to our north and that storm April 7th which did not fail because of being April the wave got suppressed by a NS SW coming across over the top and the worst possible time and pressed the boundary to our south. Yes things can get suppressed in April.

Sucks losing early next week. Decent airmass in place too.

It's the Bob Chill show...starring Robert Chill!

Considering the time window for this thread, think it's time to move on over to the Spring threads.

By the way...take a look at the temperatures at Westminster on either side of that 32" snowstorm! This is why I scream at people who say we need to have a cold pattern to get a big snowstorm. This storm was 10"+ in Baltimore and DC also! 1942-03-17, 71, 38, 0.26, 0.0, M 1942-03-18, 69, 46, T, 0.0, M 1942-03-19, 50, 38, T, 0.0, M 1942-03-20, 61, 29, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-21, 60, 40, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-22, 59, 38, 0.54, 0.0, M 1942-03-23, 53, 35, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-24, 54, 30, T, T, M 1942-03-25, 56, 27, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-26, 58, 26, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-27, 57, 30, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-28, 55, 38, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-03-29, 39, 29, 1.10, 10.0, 10 1942-03-30, 52, 26, 2.20, 22.0, 32 1942-03-31, 50, 36, 0.05, 0.0, 18 1942-04-01, 52, 35, 0.00, 0.0, 12 1942-04-02, 59, 33, 0.00, 0.0, 3 1942-04-03, 67, 45, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-04-04, 65, 45, 0.13, 0.0, M 1942-04-05, 80, 46, T, 0.0, M 1942-04-06, 84, 50, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-04-07, 77, 55, 0.00, 0.0, M 1942-04-08, 72, 53, T, 0.0, M

Gfs was pretty atrocious for today’s system until the last minute. Whatever the euro says is still the gold standard imo. Many will disagree, but for mby at least, it also performed better than the gfs for Sunday’s rainstorm.

Yeah that's a decent look.

Ya it comes north but needs a few more bumps north.

Much improved. The see saw continues

It’s more fun when he’s paranoid

So far, GFS seems a little wetter/better than 6z

the 0z GFS had a pretty sweet 2+ day ice look for the same time period .. not thats it worth much but was just an interesting solution

Gfs is coming north

GFS seems to have beefed up a tad for Sunday.

GFS skynet is kind of interested in the 3/3-3/4 threat.

1942: 32" Official reporting station listing below. I was off by a couple days it was the 29-30th. 1942-03-29, 39, 29, 1.10, 10.0, 10 1942-03-30, 52, 26, 2.20, 22.0, 32 Some parts of Carroll county got up to 40"! FYI: the 2016 storm might have beat this, reports across Westminster area were 30-34" in that storm, but Westminster lost its official reporting station in 2012. They had an official reporting station from the 1800s up until 2012 but nothing since. The airport no longer keeps snowfall data. The old barracks did but stopped.

GfsAi miss to the south
