It was better than 6z. However our issue is not being closer to the coast but rather the storm gaining latitude.
The biggest runs had a double low with the initial low getting to WV. Now that this low is missing the storm forms and moves ENE instead of NE. Perhaps due to the below average water temps up here.
Really hoping to get this to 7 in enough time (considering lag) to give us one more window. CPK can easily snow through mid March (my area until late March). Need to be installed 7 by the first IMO.
I know. I have seen probably hundreds of storms dissappear. I have never seen a situation where ALL models including crap models like the JMA and ICON show something then its gone.
2015 at least the EURO had the NAM by its side being INCORRECT).
Someone posted a while back the ocean temps, which were running well below average. The configuration of the temps off the coast would favor a further south track moving ENE. Wonder if this is part of the issue this year.
Not over yet but the funny part was the EURO op stood alone at one point lol.
Atrocious model performance outside of the EURO despite the fact that it was over 5 days.
