Freakin' amazingly trash models this winter. Just a couple of days ago, I thought Alek's 5.5 call was going to bust due to the best snows being in WI, while I was waiting on a participation trophy for back end reacharound flakes.

Tonight's 3km NAM bullseyes us with 7". Unbelievably bad. I feel bad for forecasters as every time the models pull this crap, they have to take the brunt of it from the public.

And how much money has been spent to tweak and upgrade these models in recent years?

Yeahhh... I think the truth of this storm will be somewhere closer to the GEM than this,, that's like comedcially underamped like the GFS, and the WPC agrees

Preference: 00Z NAM, 12Z ECMWF, 12Z UKMET through 12Z/27
            non 12Z CMC blend from 12Z/27 to 12Z/28

Denial is a perfectly natural step in the grieving process.

I liked it better about 12 or 13 years ago when everything trended NW and stronger. It was exciting because someone ended up with big totals at the last minute. Now, the area the gets the jackpot ends up with a couple of inches. lol. I can’t wait for someone to be in an enhanced severe weather area this Spring only to end up with a 45 degree steady rain. lol

For a little perspective for those further upstream of this pos.  This is how things have changed in the last 24hrs.  Who knows what the difference will be between tonight and tomorrow night at this rate.

Last night at this time we were looking at this fresh off the press from the 3km NAM.

24hrs later, this is what it shows from the same ending period of 12z Wed.

We went through a period when you could almost take the northwest trend to the bank.  Now it's like a complete 180.

Have a feeling this will end up being a sloppy mess for nearly everyone involved (not everyone). Models struggling with track and amounts - that tells me that it’s going to be a low end - long duration event with many times where it isn’t snowing and instead is melting... wouldn’t hold fire to it. 
 

2-4” looks solid around here with the majority falling between 9pm Tuesday night through about 1pm Wednesday. 
 

What. A. Mess.
