Gfs lost all good vibes from 00z. Worthless model

You saw the stats on modeling that were posted. It's the worst. The problem is that when it shows something good, we make the mistake of wanting to believe this will be the time when it's right. Of course, it isn't. So now weenies in NE are us from last night for 6 hours until it pulls the rug on them like us.

You can't seriously be taking anything the GFS says at hr 233 as gospel can you?

 

Last week Chicago went from a Blizzard at hour 141 to a rainstorm one run later. 

I  agree with you and the lo g range looks like warm weather at least here near Dover Delaware. Of course things can change.

Beyond the 16th the weather remains in the 30s during the day and upper 20s at night through 21st and start to climb into the 40s 23rd with slight chance of snow showers those days. That's to far into the future and will change.

I'm heading to the farm below eagles Mere PA next week for the last weekend of bow hunting. The weather there is even nice with temps day upper 20s and lows middle to upper teens.

0z EPS, 6z GEFS & 6z AI EPS show the potential for the upcoming period.

Those are more believable for the NE as long as the system stays close enough to give them snow.

Thanks for posting and supports the forecast for my area that I posted.

For the record - I recognize this from past winters.

Two waves - people get invested in one, then the other, then a why not both hope sets in.

It looks promising for one, then the other, then magically, a shift to a middle compromise with a massive storm. Hopes surge.

Then, it starts to look muddy.

PSUHoff weighs in to say that with better spacing it would be two nice events, but that unfortunately the worry is that they are too close together and interfere with the development of each.

That ends up being right and we get flurries on Friday and gray skies on Sunday and see reports from the Carolinas of getting smoked in the first event and the Poconos in the second event.

Dont forget after those fails I chime in and state how much I loathe this hobby. Ji then cancels winter for the 22nd time, Weather53 says see I told you we are kicking the can again, mitch tells us he had a hunch January was toast, Terpeast says he has concerns for Feb being we are in a Nina but there is hope, Randy calls us nuts and tells Chuck to sybau, aldi22 says we are dumb, Maestrobjwa tells us hes learning new stuff every day, winter warlock replies to each post with 'lol' or 'lmao', then PSU posts a 3 page diatribe on how he hopes this isnt the new norm. 

Yeah, I think thats the usual pattern iirc.

Lol the differnce between the blues and dark grey's is literally. 1 to .3. That map makes it look worse than it is. 

Would I like it to be full of purples and pinks for us? Sure but another few 10ths of an inch of snow and the entire area would be in the "blue"

It's the AIAmWx model!  Nearly 100% accurate every winter and actually doesn't require "AI" per se!!!  The only slight modification is that Ji canceling winter for the "22nd time" is a bit underdone, he usually is at that point by Halloween!  Oh, and also...we then get a "surprise" moderate or somewhat better storm at the very end of February or first part of March to kind of salvage things, but a lot of people go "meh, March snows suck because they're gone in 2 days anyhow!"
