Lol. I laughed. GFS was funny. 

I lol'd for real.  What else can we do?  2 days ago we had back to back runs showing us the son of Jan 2016.   And now, not even a passing flurry.   We all knew the GFS was overdone, sure. But we figured a 3 to 5 inch snowstorm.  I would have gladly accepted that.   It is what it is, but the frustration level is real.    It's hobby...we have real lives and hopefully nobody is on a ledge somewhere.   I'm about to pig out on some uber eats and watch the games.

LOL, at this point (could end different I suppose) it’s looking like a legendary performance by the gfs.

I hope we all remember this the next time there's a Euro vs GFS fight.   I gave our models a shot, never again.  The Euro luster isn't what it used to be, but it's still a deadly model to bet against.

All you can do.  Keep on keeping on.  We’ll try again next season...Lord willing.  Cheers!

My rule on the euro worked again. Next time it shows snow and the gfs dosent...the euro will cave

Lp in sw va that gives us no precip. What world do we live in?

We knew we needed that primary to get into WV or OH in this setup because of the suppressive flow. Let’s not act like we thought a typical progressive wave pattern track would work here. Different setup. Just like in a progressive pattern a primary tracking to our west would be no good. Each setup has different variables.

GFS gets too much weight because it’s the most frequent the first every cycle and most available.  Imagine had we swapped the JMA and GFS the last 48 hours!  We never would have felt the way we did. But in reality the preponderance of evidence would have been the same.

EVERY model showed snow for DC 4 days out in December and it still failed!  Lol :facepalm:

The GFS gives us snow in 6-7 days from a low running into Indiana.  I’m sure that will work out.  

That’s too north but not by as much as you would think. Given the blocking suppressed flow we want a primary to get into southern Ohio and jump to off the VA capes for a flush hit.

I agree. Southern Indiana would not be a problem. Ideally central/east Tn/ Ky is best.

Look at this BS.

The remnants of the early week storm is still sitting just to our northeast as the Thursday wave passes to our south. They actually end up phasing into a bomb in the Atlantic. Lol. When I started to see that wave hanging around longer and longer I dismissed that it would slow to the necessary amount to become this much of an impediment. But it did. An amazing error in timing across all guidance really but especially the gfs.

Just a few days ago that wave wasn't hanging around. In fact it was dampening out with very light precip sinking back south and we were cooling aloft and surface was chilly . Now we may hit 50 on Wednesday.

Honestly TN might be too south in this flow. Of course we are too far out to know exactly where the suppression sets up. Gfs is less so then the euro. But in Thursday’s setup for instance, the runs that crushed us had the primary get up into KY/WV or even Ohio. We’ve had big snowstorms from a NW track primary in blocking before. Obviously details we won’t know from range effect each variable and the ideal track.
