    Love the consistency of the GFS

    The GFS has been on a heater this year forecasting phantom snowstorms

    True but at least it’s felt like winter rather than watching daffodils grow in January. The January storm is one that won’t be forgotten for a while.

    Regardless of what happens w the rest of the winter it’s been memorable w the extended cold and snowpack

    It’s crazy how DC will have an above freezing high temp for today
  6. rjvanals
    Looks like a bit of light snow/flurries at Whitetail

    I’m fine with the Canadian and UKMET keeping things south of us—once a system gets north, it rarely comes back south
  8. rjvanals
    The GFS has been amazing on this storm

    If forecasting the weather seven days out were as simple as looking at the Euro and calling it gospel, I wouldn’t find it nearly as compelling. The real fascination lies in the uncertainty of what might unfold.
  10. rjvanals
    Yeah we mostly get scraped and no flush hits w low end warning being our upside

    18z Euro gives me 2010 Boxing Day anxiety I’d rather it just miss out to sea
  12. rjvanals
    18z GFS was predicting nearly an inch of snow for DCA tonight
  13. rjvanals
    NAM 3k still likes a dusting through the metro this evening
  14. rjvanals
    For DC looks like 75% misses 20% smaller hits in the 1-3 range and one bigger hit
  15. rjvanals
    Still a bit to early to completely bail on this especially if the goal is a low end warning event around the metro area

    Ask yourself how confident would you be in Raleigh or Norfolk that you’d be getting a blizzard this weekend?
  17. rjvanals
    I generally take GFS runs that show 30 inches of snow in Raleigh and 2 feet in Norfolk in 96 hrs as Gospel w no chance it might be wrong

    What’s our next threat window after we sniff cirrus this weekend?
  19. rjvanals
    Had the same thought it would have far less upside but would be cold powder on top of our glacier
  20. rjvanals
    No reason to give up just yet especially w the GFS and Canadian giving us some snow. We have the most important ingredient for snow in the cold airmass and the general synoptic setup is pretty good.

    Snow showers this evening? HRRR and NAM and Gfs continue to suggest we have a shot
  22. rjvanals
    These are global models so the fact that they showed a storm 7 days out that it got right within 100 miles is extremely impressive and a job well done even if we don’t get our desired result. For hurricanes the forecast cone 4 days out is hundreds of miles and we just accept the uncertainty.

    Everyone in OCMD and Richmond should make a midnight run to the grocery store to stock up on supplies
  24. rjvanals
    I’m sure this will be the final result considering how common it is for OCMD and Richmond to get 30”+ of snow
  25. rjvanals
    Icon looks like last Mondays 12z GFS which jackpotted Richmond
