  1. Look at that difference between EPS and GEFS! EPS seems to have caved to the operationals, though the 6Z GFS made a first move towards the GEFS. A blip? Was the new recon data ingested for 6Z? GEFS showing quite a number of unphased OTS progressive versions, wouldn't that be something!
  2. Difference in maps is the resolution? Algorithm? Does the bottom one show sleet as snow? Bottom seems to have been smoothed out and shows Central Jersey for example as 10-12 and top one shows it as 4-6. Pretty big difference in map totals....
  3. Front end thump to heavy sleet to dry slot on Euro for just West of NYC in my neck of the woods. Close to big snows, closer to a downpour. I'm down for a sleet storm, could use the workout (easy to say now) On second thought, sleet plus strong winds = power outages, count me out for that.
  4. I've become a pro at spotting cognitive dissonance attempts to wishcast snow. You do never know, but sometimes you gotta read the tea leaves Snow Enthusiasts Defense Mechanism 101- A Course For Proper Weenie-ing, for the pros, by the pros. When models briefly show blizzard but switch to consistently show rain (or OTS), how do you properly cope to postpone the disappointment? We have your answers right here! -Look to the Operational if that shows snow but look to the ensembles if that shows snow. If neither shows snow anymore, please proceed to next step. -We need to wait for the first storm to pass before models will get a real handle on our storm. -That one model still shows a good hit. -Storms have trended X way at Y time, as they get closer (Where X=direction for more snow and Y=time period when X trended favorably) -Wait for better sampling. Warning: Please implement the following only in backside of winters with minimal snowfall: Models clearly are having convective issues In any case, the period following this storm seems pretty favorable, maybe we can get a nice storm out of it- that's the truth not a defense mechanism, I think lol
  5. So often that double barrel look is modelled but ends up overdone. Same with the models chasing convection like a teenage boy hitting puberty. Sometimes to our benefit sometimes not. Hopefully this is the former situation
  6. sure, but I'd obviously rather the all over the place = better runs now when they're honing in on the trajectory, versus better on previous cycles
  7. Ukie looks way flatter for Friday, hard to tell how it progressed on the 24 hr panels though. Flatter/OTS seems to be the way that storm is trending with the GFS leading the way, lots of time for changes though.
  8. Last 3 runs of the CMC, trending more progressive/off the coast
  9. That’s the upgraded GFS hi res- how’s it performed this season? The regular GFS is upgraded already to the FV3, wonder why the hi res/NAM hasn’t been moved over yet.
