Saturday will be another rare event for our area with snow on SSW winds gusting over 40 mph.

Just goes to show how cold the airmass is in place when the low cuts to our west.

The pattern is showing you it will snow under any condition . It wants to snow here ths winter and it will take a minor adjustment at the mid levels to bring one of those SW back this week into a favorable slot

I like how the SREF's have thunder potential Late Thursday into Friday over ocean as those GL streamers move off the coast.

The Srefs have been a disaster this yr. They had POU receiving 18" 6 hrs before yesterday event lol. 

Yea they have been great the last 2 storms for most areas, and was one of the first to pick up on the potential. They were just a little too far NW with the precip shield

Models are always going to be too far north or not far enough by nature. Whoever's on the northern edge will either bust high or low. 1/96 went the other way where heavy snow went much further north than modeled.

exactly same thing with the R/S line, you never want to be on the edge\

 

- The SREFs did real well with calculating the snow ratios too, that is something to take forward from them.

Not for most areas. For the coast maybe. Early Jan storm it had us ( interior) receiving 1-2' of snow 6-12 hrs before the event. Most finished with a 6-8" snowfall.

 

Its all relative to your location and unfortunately it has been atrocious for the interior.

 

NAM/GFS/RGEM/EC were always low on precip for the area with the exception being the Srefs.

Yea, I was only monitoring the coastal locations as far as totals so I cant speak to the far interior but it was one of the first models to pick up on the threat and the possibility of 10"+ totals. So that was pretty impressive especially when the globals really  dropped the ball

Every potential event greater than 3 inches this year for the interiror NW, the models have been awful with precip related to snow.

You name the model, it has busted. Short range or long range model.
