i dont like outliers--even if its the european and especially when we are at short range. So lets see what the european does today but so far ICON/GFS/Canadiens are giving us back end love
I wouldnt dismiss the GFS...for its all its faults in the mid range...its a pretty good model within 60. And now with the european being the outlier....i wouldnt totally buy into the european. This is different from being 120 hours out
the Jan 2019 storm comes into mind because it went from a 2-4 inch storm 36 hours before the event and kept increasting amounts every run up until gametime and even then...no model had us getting a foot lol
yikes the surface maps are very similar no? i think Dulles got 9-10 inches from this but there was a day of non stop snizzle which was awesome
