QPF is pretty light on the GFS, 1-3" across the area. However, and I would say this is mildly important...the S/W at h5 passed slightly south-er of the 12z run. And I'm 100% sure of that lol, no takebacks.
It’s definitely not that lol. We just have to make up an excuse at this point. Getting a n/s wave to not put the nail in the coffin tonight is miracle work.
@StormyClearweather maybe if this storm comes back, @stormtrackerwill consider sharing his snap with you?
trying to barter with the snow gods as we speak.
Let’s just use this storm to pretend we’re angry at PSU, if I recall correctly 1/26/11 was the PSUhoffman storm back in the day? We can make this the f*** PSU storm? Then we can do PSU2 in February?
His analogs are accurate too, it just doesn’t happen for us with these types of systems. You have to use your buffer, we probably peaked on this 24 hours early.
Guys, what do we do to rescue this? We have the pattern temporary flipping on the back side of this. If we want to be a snow town, we have to activate our stops right now.
resting our hopes on the icon jma and rgem is a very risky proposition.
Do we gotta start getting drunk like last weekend? @stormtracker
We had good trends but we peaked too soon yesterday.
however, my 0% scientific opinion says at 0z we actually see this come back our way a bit. I said that last week and that was the start of our comeback. Trying to replicate all the variables.
For the folks who don’t know, given the fluffy nature of the high ratio snow we received, the snow is more so sublimating than it is melting, given the current conditions. Just a note
Agreed, I do like the h5 pass and that coinciding with the LER of the jet. Should help with some ascent to get us decent rates vs the really light stuff. These can juice up closer to gametime provided you have an ideal s/w pass. We do have that here (as modeled).
At first glance, this looks like something trended north, but in reality it was a carbon copy of 6z gfs as Randy said. ICON & RGEM actually went south a bit.
