It's been sticking to its guns while the other guidance jumps back and forth between that idea and the stronger cutter solution. Doesn't make it right, it could be consistently wrong.

And I think we have seen this year that it has been less phase happy in the mid range and consistently south and weak with lows in general. Our January event it was the southern outlier until almost go time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAMs picked up on it at the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High is stronger and in a better position and just has no holding power on temps. Don’t buy it at all. GFS consistently sucks with CAD and don’t think it’s right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandurin Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I can understand the CAD being under-represented but it was like the GFS had never even heard of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh not saying I think the GFS is right either. Let's see what Dr. No has to say soon. That will go a long way to influencing my opinion of the 12z run.

SnowGolfBro Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 36 minutes ago, yoda said: Decent Lots of reasons to be skeptical but this looks like a classic 6-12 inch storm setup for our region. South and east with lower totals and and North and West with higher totals. If the the Ukie holds serve tonight and the other models are still making wild swings i think it needs to be considered as a possiblity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP08 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Though 84, low is a few mb weaker but certainly not Ukie like. High in a great spot. Should be a little better for Md. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peribonca Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 So we have models 1&3 (Euro GFS)vs 2&4 (UK CMC) I'll continue to have hope until the last man standing but I'm not optimistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the deep CAD to NC kind of setup. If I am wrong we get more frozen. Agreed. Depth of cold in the mids is not impressive at all. Still close enough and enough time for things to shift to a much better outcome but my enthusiasm is declining little by little as the midlevels retreat little by little every 6 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But haven't we done this dance enough times lately? There was a 50/50 (but not blocked in) with a better high this time, so the steady progression of the boundary NW has been slower and more subtle, but its the same exact trend as EVERY storm during that period after the January 12th Storm. This time we had better conditions to our northeast but a worse trough axis to our west and so its going to offset probably. But for the last several weeks we have not had a favorable trough axis and not enough blocking that would be needed to offset that problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
