Panic is fine and great but in NYC and SNE? Where every model has them getting 6”+ right now? They seriously need to stop looking forward for a second and enjoy this week Maybe if I looked closer at their forecast I’d realize it’s a mirage but from the outside looking in they should prep their Jebwalk materials and then take everything after that as gravy
To the folks leading the good fight… I salute you. If things pan out well, us quitters won’t deserve what we get. If they don’t pan out… I legit worry we’re gonna lose like 5 good posters with how relentless the trolling may be. Good lord
What always gets my goat is that you need basically every model to agree it’ll snow for it to snow. Even down to 24 hours. But the second one model starts throwing warning signs about the long range it feels like it’s right. I understand it’s just because our hit rate is low but it’s demoralizing. That’s why I always track whatever we’ve got and why January was so awesome. Cause we clawed them back from the dead. Broke tradition
The long range looks could’ve been great and it all can fall apart and we’ll get shut out. Very valid. In my little poll I posted I voted for 0-2”. Vibes have been off. Delays that aren’t delays. Not enough digital snow. We’ll see
It’s not too late for DC but I’m skeptical. PA/MD border is in the game. Maybe even down to Baltimore. I need something to track so I’ll stick with it til game time
It’s a real thing. Think it did OK with the last snowstorm - shifted the heavier chances of enhanced snowfall down our way maybe a hair quicker than some other guidance. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/efi2web_tp?area=Europe&base_time=202402081200&day=1&quantile=99
There was one winter where every time the MJO entered Phase 8 it snowed just like magic. Became my favorite indicator because of that and because it’s very easy to understand, lol
yeah I'm still at 96 but it actually looks snowier than the GFS. It's still faster though. Feel like slower has where the primo runs have been
maybe there is a meet in the middle that's a good outcome for us? just weenie spitballing
