this pattern looks way different than that one

I agree that you can't completely throw it out, but a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. I'm sticking with the higher skilled majority as of now

not to say it's absolutely, 100% wrong, but a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then I'm just leaning on the more consistent, higher scoring majority as of now

I don't think that's the case. the weather is inherently chaotic and there's no way we could ever figure out how to decipher that chaos more than 5 or so days in advance with any kind of certainty. it's not possible and luck will always play a factor

at this point I wouldn't pay much attention to the GFS/GEFS unless the EPS/GEPS move towards it in a significant way. it's on a complete island right now, and the EPS/GEPS became more favorable, if anything. definitely dug their heels in at 12z while the GEFS has been shuffling about... the GFS OP moved towards them in a big way

this is nearly perfect. the EPS is holding serve on a legitimate KU evolution for next weekend

EPS has been trending better and better. stronger -NAO, AK ridging trending more poleward, and a quicker exit of the WC trough. this run looks explosive

jesus christ. KU incoming on the ECMWF, no exaggeration

ECMWF holding serve, booting the S/W out of the west. the GFS still remains alone here at 12z

I know, that's probably the one thing that it's gotten right all by itself this year. usually happens once a year or so. still the worst performing model out of all the globals

the GFS usually gets one thing right all year and then flubs as soon as there's an impactful coastal storm. I have seen it so many times it sucked with Monday's system up here anyway so I'm not even sure what people are talking about

first off, it's because it's been rather inconsistent, it's underdispersive, and it's outnumbered by the other two ENS I'll put it this way... if the GEFS was the only ENS that was showing a KU setup and the GEPS/EPS were slower or less clear, I would absolutely, 100% guarantee that everyone would discount the GEFS. no question in my mind the whole evolution it shows is also bizarre to me, and I would expect something more like the other two ENS, it just makes more sense in my head. the GEFS solution is not impossible, but I would lean more towards the EPS/GEPS considering they hold the majority and are becoming stronger in their signals, if anything. we'll see what the EPS does in a bit

yes, but that's the risk you have to take to avoid cutters. overall it's a very favorable pattern

also the GEPS still looks great for next week. absolutely nothing like the GEFS, more so following the EPS

the pattern was favorable. full stop. its lack of production is a different story

GEPS still looks great for next week. absolutely nothing like the GEFS, more so following the EPS

GEFS is still pretty much the same in the west, which is annoying, but it is really ratcheting up the blocking now, so that's a plus. that C US ridge is also getting squashed. the GEFS is pretty much on its own with this look by Thursday... the GEPS looks like it's going to hold serve from 00z last night

I'm cool with that. the ideal pattern progression is there and we get a big, dynamic solution. good run

the 50/50 ULL locks in confluence and keeps storms from cutting. it's probably the most important feature for any 6"+ snowstorm in the MA

use the ensembles and take a breath

it made a positive shift in the west. you're going to get weird OP solutions at 10 days out no comments on the CMC?

basically a storm that qualifies for a NESIS ranking... a notably high-end storm

so close indeed, but this is a KU setup. near textbook
