I think it heavily weights meso models? @high risk? So maybe the SREFs pummel us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris78 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 1 minute ago, TSSN+ said: Nothing like the good ole hr 300 storm on gfs Only took 300 hours but it finally gets us. Although overall the run is colder and there's some close calls prior to this. This combined with the ensembles in this time frame I think should give some optimism. It's never easy for snow in these parts lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago So this is actually pretty darn close to what the composite looked like for the analogs I used for my winter forecast. But the snowfall results through mid January were better across those analogs. This isn't bad...yes its a dry look...we're on the backside of the trough, its definitely not perfect. But predominantly -AO/NAO, a poleward pacific ridge, not a crazy hostile PNA for a change...this isn't a shutout look. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, eduggs said: This cracks me up every time. There's always a better pattern or threat a bit further out. We are biased by the fuzzyness of future possibilities. As soon as we get near enough to see the flaws in a close threat, we move on to the next. And of course our glimpse of the next with the rosy tinted glasses of ensemble average and smoothing hides the flaws of the next one until it's in range. It happens over and over and over. Somehow it's a lesson in human psychology that is difficult to learn. The reality is we just don't know which will work out best if any at all. It's still possible Sunday ends up the biggest event of the year for some. What cracks me up is the myth of models as a viable forecasting tool or method for mid Atlantic winter low pressures. I think we have been through now its mandatory cover all bases for continued funding mode . What is still in our corner though is this cold air plunge does appear to want to set off a low from down south to along the coast. Thats way better for us than a phasing job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago EuroAI has 1” to west shore of the Bay more or less. Maybe a tiny bit less than 6z. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it takes a couple cycles to update. 12z probably still included the last good GFS run. It does seem like it is weighted towards the GFS output to me.

Yeoman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, DDweatherman said: Unlike some here, I'm not losing sleep over this stuff. If its going to snow however, I'm going to look in the direction of what 20 years of studying this hobby has taught me to look for.... favorable teleconnections, a good source airmass, and precipitation/moisture streams being present. Having strong ENS support at "range" is a part of that, and right now we have it... so yes, many would argue it's our most favorable window of the season with support. Until its not. Small model input errors amplify with time. Even looking a few days into the future, chaos wins by default. That's why until you can control the weather, it will continue to be unpredictable.

SnowenOutThere Posted 53 minutes ago Share Posted 53 minutes ago Long range Euro showing potential. Gets a nice area wide win which is desperately needed. Not shown on the map is .1-.3 inches of freezing rain between the two parts of the storm 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
