Except my anti ensemble rant recently, much of which is in jest because of the back and forth with blizz and I, I think they all have their positive sides and strong suits. My first winter back (18-19) we had a series of storms that would cut and bring front end snow and ice to this area and the icon was uncanny in predicting their eventual tracks....better than any of the other globals. So, when people mock the icon it rubs me sometimes as no one seems to remember when it had that strong winter. I think we can all point out times most models had strong showing...just today someone, I think mjs, Hailed the hrrr for its long rang accuracy.
