This dude is posting 230 hour operational runs when the GFS can't even get a forecast right within 72 hours, not sure why you're bothering to come to his defense. We've essentially been torching for the past few years btw, this recent cold period is merely a blip. This really is a denier board, maybe not quite as bad as "The Weather Forums", but still sad to see.

We'll see.

You're stupid enough to believe that LOT takes any serious consideration into a fantasy range OP GFS run, LMAO. Like I said, the operational GFS is the worst performing model as of recent, and you're putting so much weight into it because you can't cope with the fact that winter is coming to an end, or you're just trolling hard, lmao. Not to mention these are 230+ hour runs, if you're going to do that at least use the AI Euro or an ensemble. Btw, even a 3 day Feb 2017 redux would be a very notable warm period. Before that happens, several days in the 50s will surely have it feeling like spring around these parts. Enjoy your early spring kiddo.

Using a 230+ hr model run of the operational GFS (lowest skilled model) as a means to cope with the coming torch is hilarious though, bravo there.

Are you illiterate? This is straight from LOT:

Feb 2017 redux?

Wonder if @cyclone77 will tag 70 next week? I wouldn't rule it out based on recent model runs...

In due time...

Cherry picking cities will do that

Could be like a March 2024 redux where the first half was record warm and the second half cooled off to near or slightly below average, despite completely different ENSO conditions.

Idk, March still looks pretty torchy to me, at least the first half.

who's downplaying the cold? It was a notable two week stretch of cold, but there have been plenty of similarly cold (or colder) stretches in the CONUS over the years (not just past, recent as well). It's not just the anomalies, but also the duration of the warmth out west which has been more impressive than any cold in the east this season.

-NAO tends to be a stronger cold signal for the west in Feb. Of course it can still have implications in the east, but it wouldn't be as notable.

Idk, looks pretty torchy still

This doesn’t look too promising for cold temps to stick around in the east.
