Its gotten into the mid 70's a lot so it would not be too far of a stretch but my comment was also for local temps. Maybe MDT gets to 76 but some local therms hit 80. All model talk at this point. Not sure it matters if its 68 or 78. All bad for snow.
Yep. I did not want to sully the light snow today too much but there actually could be a few 80's over here on on the day you speak (model talk, not a forecast).
I was expecting your wrath several times tonight so no harm, no foul. Trying to be positive now, the 18Z GFS is better than the frying pan pattern at 12Z but is still a rain parade with a 70's day so ground truth has not changed. Maybe in 6 hours.
Today's GFS has 70's at MDT (extrapolated from 18Z panel) which was the backing for my extreme comment. The real reason today's GFS is so bad, to me, is the lack of cold air anywhere in the Eastern US or Canada. It's an ugly look.
A drastic change from 0Z. Models are jumping all over. A colder solution for early next week but outside of Boston, a dry solution. Basically a clipper flying by to the north.
Its at least below freezing again. Dec is going to start off with a healthy positive departure per the Euro. The Canderson +8 departure would be in play on the GFS.
I dunno, I am 0-1 today. I will see if I have time. The part of the GFS that was bad is outside the Euro's range. CMC took away the 9th snowstorm and replaced it with a mix storm on the 8th. Sloppy and not real cold.
As in "Blizz is going to go off because there are highs in the 70's (near 80) and lows in the 50's"? Pitt is 66 degrees at 7AM on the 13th. Too astonishing to not mention, knowing it will change.
