big-time model guidance fail for today's event, and even in event performance was horrendous.
where upwards of 4-8" of snow occurred, the hrrr had only a dusting and the euro had only 1-3", for example.
statistical information on winter in chicago, since the historic winter of 2013/14...
like i've said, this is the snowiest and coldest season we've seen in years.
It would be hard to pull any long term statistics regarding that. Maybe tomorrow I’ll check to see how much of the seasonal snow thus far this season was pure LES.
compared to some of the snow maps, sure. but most guidance hit well.
i remember when the euro had that thing locked in from a week+ out, and only lost briefly it for a run or two several days out.
