Soooo, you're saying next year will be like 2006-07?  I'll take it! Started somewhat slow but finished huge.

That (the bolded) is very generous; it was awful.  Thru Jan 13 we'd had only 11" snow and 2 months of +8 temps.  After that, temps ran 5° BN thru mid-April, including our 2nd coldest Feb, plus 84.3" snow, capped by 37.2" in April, including 18.5" on 4-5.
Over the past 25 winters, snowfall has split almost exactly on the 1/31-2/1 divide, 49.9%/50.1%.  2005-06 is by far the most front-loaded (85/15) and 06-07 just the opposite (20/80).

Just posting what the models say. So they are right when they say 70 but wrong when they say cold. That's why people don't give your posts any cred.

Most folks here appreciate my knowledge and insights . The boy who cried snow each winter is the one that gets snickers.

I might be close to stepping onboard the Doo-Doo express.

The euro wasn’t this showing that much snow that far south at 0z? That would be nice.  New puppy, kid’s activities, mount snow is the best option for me Sunday.

12z GFS didn't take the bait, Snow is still relegated to the higher elevations and into Northern Maine for Sunday.

Eh. NAM and EC are fairly wintry here, but damn it is close.

Caught this van on my dash cam.  

At what point does a painter decide that a regular size cargo van ain't the correct vehicle to be shuffling 14 or so ladders  back and forth?

Lol.  Seems like the GFS is now the outlier. See what the euro does.  I know people probably don’t care at this point.

Faster Dissemination Management

New News on the Next European Model Upgrade

Optimizing the Speed Situation

The much faster delivery of the European ensemble started on Tuesday, March 5, with mixed results for StormVista map and data production.

Products were available much faster than ever before, however, issues such as out-of-order files and varying speeds in file type dissemination are requiring logic adjustments for future speed optimization.

StormVista's larger list of variable and map options are beneficial to clients, but they become a liability for processing speed. The ECMWF's faster delivery includes providing files out of order with significant delays at times for key files.

Missing Hour 45 (as happened on the first day) caused map production disruption, but it did not affect the 6-hour max/min data for city forecasts and degree day calculations.

However, when Hour 180 stalled, it did impact city/degree day calculations, allowing the maps to get ahead once the file arrived.

There were also issues when the various types of files (low vs. high resolution) also arrived out of order (low-res is typically faster, but not the case on the first day).

We are addressing each of these challenges and adjusting variable priorities to find ways to speed up delivery in these instances.

 

In Other Big News

Amid yesterday's chaotic situation (they initially flubbed the 6z roll out too), the ECMWF announced big changes to the next model upgrade:

  • New upgrade, Cycle 49r1, is now planned for October 2024
    • This is a significant delay from their typical June-July upgrade timing
  • They will make the operational (HRES) identical to the ENS control run
  • They will make this operational/control run available earlier than the ensemble (as they do now)
  • However, according to what they wrote yesterday, this new control run (operational) will run out to 15 days instead of 10
    • Not only did they change their intention to remove the operational, but they are now running it out further
  • The Cycle 50r1, planned for October 2025 will continue this earlier control run release out to 15 days
