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.
Contrary to your construct, few are in bed at 11pm Saturday night while there’s is an interesting gfs euro run on tap. Also, most are not awake at 4:30AM.
The best snow in the coming weeks should be in the Ontario zones. A trip to the tug may be in order. They have some cool places to stay and eat and everyone is on a sled riding around and you can rent them. QPF charts suggest feet and feet are possible.
It used to be more available but never beyond 72 hours. It's also, despite its reputation, in my mind a sub par model. I forgot about the old Plymouth site which had it so i defaulted to it doesn't happen incorrectly apparently.
