North Balti Zen

Khaleesi’s handmaiden voice: “it is known. Yes.”

It’s in the apocrypha…

I feel like psuhoff conjures the demons of failure each time frankly with his always looking for the failure mode. It’s not rational but I’ve decided I’m right.

When someone types they can’t tell if changes early on are good or bad I think - “bad, changes are always bad” reflexively

Seven inches would be Baltimore and north's best storm since 2016. Easily. We are in an epic big snow drought up here.

Lol. (checks for evidence of this thesis) resumes lol.

It’s good! it’s bad! it’s gooder than earlier! it’s worser than earlier! It’s more amped! it’s less amped! it’s a hair south! it’s a hair north! good stuff in the main thread. Totally clear. Any way to restrict that thread to mods, red taggers and a few select extra learned non-red taggers?

that's day 1 science, really.

It's like the GFS took the criticisms from the last few years about its ensembles too much following the OP and was like, "fine, watch this"...

lol - MY kids - both now in their 20s - neither of them give a shit about weather. They are probably not even mine, now that I think about it...

AMITAKINGCRAZYPILLS? DOWELIVEINTUGHILLNOW? Sorry for shouting - but - holy hell -people losing their shit over a run that drops 12-16" on us. What even is reality, really?

Sweet bleeding deities - A SINGLE RUN of one model is NOT a trend. On top of those invoking the waking horror of the 0z runs --those were around a foot encapsulated in sleet to keep us all in a skating rink for weeks - which omg would be SO welcome up in central northern maryland given the snow desert we've been in for about a decade so not a horror - in between the 6z runs pulled back from that to a much cleaner heavy snow set of scenarios and then GFS that JUST RAN was not that either and was textbook cold smoke. So, then the CMC comes along, always our most amped model (do we not remember such things year over year - a few years back it gave us 60 inches at one point six days out which was beyond hilarious for something that didn't even turn into a storm) - and it is, dear lord, shocking super amped, and we still even on that one get 6-12" before glaciating it in ice and it is a trend? I am a simple and dumb person, really, when it comes to atmospheric physics and fluid dynamics, but IF the high is what it is supposed to be, there is only so far north this can drive even with help from whatever ridging the CMC is showing back west to allow this - so... tl/dr putonbigpersonpants, certain people.

I need you to look up the definition of "trend".

No one is hugging it - it is now more in line with (checks notes) EVERY OTHER piece of guidance. When it did that weirdness yesterday it was out on an island. It literally had ZERO precip when no other guidance was remotely close to that. Just saying.
