12Z GFS not budging...seems the models don't agree on anything except very paltry totals (if anything beyond DAB) northwest of a line drawn right through our BY, @madwx
Has me right on the line between another virtual shutout and about 2"...first time in my observations any model besides the GFS has given us more than a dusting.
Usual disclaimer, it's the 18Z GFS at >200hours but that run verbatim would be another significant ice storm somewhere in the sub. Maybe third time's the charm for those of us getting missed again this week? At any rate, it would be nice to start eating away at the precip deficit here as we head into spring.
Dreaming of with a surface pattern like that about 10 weeks from now.
So in other words, miss SE again for those of us who got shafted by the last one.
If I were a snow lover, this winter for southern WI wouldn't even merit an F-. It would get kicked out of school for academic dishonesty.
And what pattern is that, exactly? And what combination of teleconnections will it take to change that? Seems no matter what, +/- ENSO, PDO, NAO, AO etc the result is the same for years on end.
If the surface/500mb look for next Thursday holds, all I ask is that we get about 10-14 days of repeated rounds with similar systems sometime from mid-April through May.
12Z GFS looks mighty interesting in about 8 days for both winter and severe...details/ceiling will change many times of course but definitely some potential there.
Wouldn't mind an evolution like late Feb. 2017. Couple of gorgeous days, followed by kitchen sink winter storm, followed by another warmup with severe weather. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
Over the last week or so where we've gotten a couple of those DAB snows where the city then puts down about 1/4" of salt powder. Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk
I know, right? But my point was, the tweet referenced the GFS, so it seems to be flipping from run to run, which is not exactly unexpected at the ranges we're talking about.
18Z GFS basically has single digits either side of 0 sitting over WI through the end of the run with only brief respites. Best we can do is mid-20s while 50s push to the ND/SD border just shy of 200 hours.
