The 384 hour GFS is never correct. It can get lucky but never correct. I would recommend picking a time where you can legitimately start taking model out put seriously (like <168 hours ) and dont look at anything after that .

Yikes. I know you didn’t see hardly any measurable snow last year and this was far and away the lowest snowfall totals in since records were kept in northern md. The last 20 months have been tough. I think we will be fine though. I would be shocked if our area doesn’t bounce back to the historical average with a season or two producing above average snowfall.

let’s do this! Btw Isn’t this a legitimate look? Red over Greenland and blue in the Atlantic?

I just spent 45 minutes comparing the last 4 runs of the 264 hour + GFS. it’s gonna be a long winter.

The next storm turns nw directly in to Delmarva

Tropical is a high bar.. at least it used to be before NHC started naming ever cluster of thunderstorms producing a gust over 38 mph.. that being said the Mediterranean is not capable of producing tropical storms. This is why these storms are not tracked as such.. The reality of the situation is that the Infrastructure didnt hold in Libya... in order to understand why we would need to go in to the geopolitical realm and thats a no no here.

Sometimes you need to live a little and let it rip! In 2013 I went to see Fun. at Merriweather. There was stalled out severe storm that dumped for an hour straight. Lightening everywhere. They kept playing. I was in the field the whole time. That was the most memorable concert experience of my life...

Not trying to downplay what is for sure to be a major disaster with catastrophic flooding in the Southwest.. but Watching WX Twitter go nuts over Hurricane Hillary is amusing.... post after post describing this is some sort of once in a life time event.. you only have to look back to last year to Hurricane Kay with a 100 mph wind gust in San Diego County.

What does 1.10 ± 0.16 C mean? Is this the Average Global Temp anomaly for the month of June?

Forgot to mention, I went to Utah last weekend and did some hiking.... Above 8000 feet there was still 6 feet of snow on the ground. Truly astonishing. We got to hike in shorts in 60 degree weather on snow pack! The ski resorts were still open also. Our waitress at a restaurant in Park City said that they are gonna try to Ski on Fourth of July this year in Snow Bird!

This is purely anecdotal and very much isolated to winter weather events, but ever since the the major upgrade in 2019, the GFS has been kicking the euro's ass when it comes to these long range disagreements. Look at the last storm.

Looks like a possible Norlun Trough setting up in the 8-10 day period.

I am sure it will be Rocking in March.. so much so that someone in Westminster will get 2 inches of snow that melts before it stops snowing.

Wow.. that is really scary and unfortunate. If I lived any where near there, I would go and get a baseline set of testing and imaging just in case the shit hits the fan. Check out the radar plume from the fire:

Concerned downwind citizen here. Is everything okay in Ohio and the surrounding area? Based on what I am seeing, it seems like there is some sort of major environmental catastrophe happening in East Palestine.. Like someone f-ed up really bad. If it werent for the aliens, I would think it would be major news.. but for some reason, none of the main stream outlets are covering it.

This is a very interesting post @psuhoffman. This tells me just how entrenched this current snow drought is and just how wide spread it is. I was actually a little surprised by the ~12 inch number.. thinking that there had to be other years sprinkled in that were close to this. This tells me that no one is getting snow any where, regardless of climo, elevation or latitude. I mean, its the same all the way to through New York. Look at Rochester:

What does your wife do that she gets to go to the super bowl in a skybox?

What the 12Z is showing is meteorologically impossible. There is a low pressure in SW Illinois for 3 days. That can't happen.

Blocking is not a full on requirement for it to snow in the MA. Do we need it for a HECS? Sure. But it snows all the time this time of the year just as it is advertised on GFS. One thing I do like is that the spread on the ensemble members show a lot of lows to our south. I think it might be having a hard time differentiating btw the first system and the second one, however the trend on the 6z was south, with a big trough digging in to the southeast part of the country.. if the 12Z runs continue that trend, we will have a nice snow storm to track. Has anyone post the ensemble member snowfall maps?

Me!!!

BTW... this happened: and this happened:

The coldest stretch in our area since 1899 was Feb 15 to Feb 20 2015. This time period featured several record low min and max temps. This demonstrates that it can still get very cold in our area. we shroud just focus on the pattern… it definitely will get a lot better for us and I would bet my house that we see a big seasonal snowfall number at some point over the next few years

thats fine

Oh haha climate change.. yeah that’s a sensitive topic… there is a lot of science out there that is pretty much undebatable. And I am pretty sure we are now seeing the outcomes first hand. It’s the find out part of it. .

I am sorry… but what does cc stand for?
