Obviously they have either ignored the GFS or are saying it's wrong in the making of that map. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a 0-10% chance for much of SNE. Even a 20% weighting for it would yield a greater percentage.
You don't start a day 6 thread with this kind of statement:
"...it is likely we are looking at a New England blizzard, with the potential to become a historic blizzard (top 10 all time) in the Boston area."
This is what I responded to, not your editorializing now:
"The magic recipe for threats beyond 5 days out.
1) Analyze the guidance/potential
2) Add a dash more of -PNA.
3) Mix in better Canada/NATL region
4) Realism/Skepticism because it is beyond 5 days out.
5) Avoid emotions.
6) Mix together and you have a tasty dish of objectivity. Voila."
Most of us have no problem with you highlighting these la la land snow maps, but being the realists we are, we know how just about all of those have turned out for most this winter. So excuse us if we don't get too excited about 324 hr snow maps.
We tried to tell 'em. This winter should have taught us that day 8-9 snow threats most likely are not going to pan out. As I've said, when the threat gets to within day 5 some of us will be more interested.
What's surprising this winter is that there haven't been more jumpers.
