Hope so! Although one of the bitter disappointments in my life that I’ll go to the grave with is having that storm hit 15 months after I moved to LA. Took 15 years to come back.
LBSW was patented by Ray. It means storm comes to maturity SW of New England and the effects here are muted somewhat. Eg: what DC is about to get is NOT LBSW, it’s just a storm that missed us. In LBSW the storm hits us but it’s occluding.
I think what I said was true key word being often. I think it’s easy for models st long range without a lot of blocking to sniff a system out. Details can change radically. Of course if we’re getting a cutter and we don’t have nao to shunt it east models have less moving parts so verification is frequently better.
It seems that NAO and timing of northern and southern streams is really tenuous with model waffling in the medium range understandable.
All that proves is ...nothing. Solutions beyond d6 are often random luck. So you can't say ICON/CMC etc had this all along. I didn't include uncle because how many systems did models converge on only for uncle to send it to Bermuda inside of 72 hours....
MCI,CVG,DCA/BWI and in between getting 6-12+. Been quite awhile since the south of 40 crew had such a widespread heavy snow event. MCI currently 16/13 with heavy snow.
I think we have reason to be guardedly optimistic. We had 3 shots a week ago with the current system giving DC 6-10 #1. We knew #1 was a miss for close to a week. #2 and #3 are in a better environment (less damage from NAO vs help potentially). We’re 0 for 1 but we have more middling pitchers to face for #2 and #3. Sooner or later we will score something. We’re not going 30 days with no water from the heavens.
Yeah now shortly after midnight we have the euro. I’ve always been a night owl. I remember being 6 years old and being forced to go to bed. I rarely fell asleep for hours. Now that I’ve been released by the clock most of the world runs on I’m on a 2am-10am sleep schedule.
