78Blizzard

Many of us in ENE, the Cape, and the South Coast region would prefer the GFS version at the same time frame:

Lots of anger in here today. You think it would be resulting from the haves and the have nots, but we're all in the have nots category. Mets fighting each other. You hate to see it.

Even a couple of inches would be a nice birthday present.

Can't get away from the fact that 3 of the last 6 years to date have sucked. That's what stood out to me in that chart.

I'll always treasure my in-studio visit as a young boy with Don Kent. After I had written a letter to him, I was invited to sit in on a live noon broadcast with him and Jack Chase. My mother took me to the WBZ studio as I was about 12 then, and not having a car we took public transportation to get there. As it turns out it was a snowy day, lol. He was very gracious and took me into his office after the show for a little conversation, telling me to study hard to get into one of the few colleges that had meteorology programs back then. As life would have it, I ended up taking a different route. For not having a degree in meteorology, he knew his stuff. The AMS agreed, as he was made a member.

The operative watchwords are "Flood Warning".

LOL. Complete lack of cold weather on the 0z GFS. Average daily of 8F AN for the period in BOS.

Yeah, I enjoyed it, too.

It's like watching Groundhog Day. There's only so many times you can watch that movie.

As we have seen this month, "flood warnings" are in and "winter storm warnings" are out. Let's turn that around next month. At this point I'll even take a WSW that flops into a 2-3" meh just to see some snow on the ground. Raking twigs and leaves today from last week's storm was no fun. Never have I raked like this in late December. Just a few inches of snow would have hid all that crap, at least until the next rainer.

That has a better chance of verifying than this from 0z:

Nice eye candy, I wonder when was the last time a 14 day prog with a winter hurricane verified, lol. 25 mb drop in 12 hours is some serious bombogenesis.

Last year you gave December a D-. With 5 days left, how about a grade for TY?

LOL at the 12z GFS. We've seen this movie too many times. Storm after storm passes to our south. Then when the pattern flips, we will get the cutters.

It's only one run, but the 0z GFS has virtually no qpf for the next two weeks following Thursday's now minor rain event. We'll see.

I'm getting déjà vu reading some of these posts. It felt like I was transported back a year to this forum.

Meteorologists on social media are posting weather models about the increasing threat of a so-called sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) over the Arctic, which could unleash wintry weather across the eastern half of the US in the new year.

Could we move this 2 day 1/3-1/5 blizzard northeast about 1800 miles?

Enjoy those flurries and squalls while they last. But for those who want a white Christmas, it looks like you'll have to go to the Canadian border to get it.

Maybe for NNE. Very doubtful for SNE, despite the clueless guidance.

27F here now. 0z GFS had us at 35F, lol. They need to revise those big city heat effects as they take them out too far from the inner city.

LOL GFS. It went from a high here on Sunday of 47F at 12z run to a high of 56F at 18z. Typical GFS 48 hour forecast.

Yeah, the first week of November looks to be well BN. Anyone who hasn't had a frost by then will probably see one, if not a freeze.

True that. Uncle was the only model that had the high close to what happened here today. It showed a high of 89F at 18z, while just about every other model, including the mesos, had us in the 90's at 18z.

Another fail by most of the models again, at least here. GFS had a high of 96F here today, but the high was 88F, now 86F. So we fail once again to reach 90F here as had been predicted so many times since early August. The last 90F here was back sometime in July, and we reached it only twice this summer. But we have made up for that with the high humidity. It's almost like the models are controlled by the warmistas, lol.
