This storm gets tightly wrapped on the stronger solutions so it would collapse the R/S line pretty close to the ML center. This happened in storms like 1/12/11 where the low tracked over the Cape but the R/S line wasn’t that far NW of the canal. I think the south shore had a monster paste job in that one.
Yeah EPS went back to pants tent pattern....you could see the OP run doing it to at the end of the run there around D10....and the EPS gets better and better beyond that as well.
Theres also still a lot of spread. When you see this type of spread, you really shouldn't be living and dying with each OP run....the OP run is basically another ensemble member...maybe a slightly more skilled one, but just one member nonetheless.
We became unbearable at some point in the 2010s....nobody in here ever canceled winter in December or early January....only Ji did that in the M.A. forum. Now we get it multiple times per winter in here.
I actually like where this one is right now. You have pretty much all non-GFS guidance with a significant storm and the OP euro is on the western side of the EPS envelope. The classic 70/30 or 80/20 compromise would be ideal.
Too bad it’s not 3 days out instead of 4 though.
With omega that high in the sounding that dendrite posted, you also get garbage snow growth. Prob putrid bullets and plates which sublimate much faster too when they are trying to overcome dry layers.
Yeah it’s amazing how many people immediately canceled winter after that post.
Although many of them already canceled in December so not sure why the need to do it again…
Yeah it’s not even that bad of a look anyway, I just found the change funny. The ridge retrogrades back quickly into a pants tent pattern. But I’d obviously be cautious still.
