Those are rookie numbers. We need twenty members with 30" or more for goonfest 2026

The ones you don't trust especially that far out. AI is bias due to the programmer that provide input during its build. Wait till 2 days away. Unless you live on disappointments.

Lemme catch you up:

there was a 5-10” storm on the 18z gfs… It’ll disappear in about 3 hours on the next OP run and weenies will jump off ledges. Meanwhile, Cape bashes his head into a wall for having to repeat that people should be looking at ensembles this far out.

You’re caught up. Now go drink

Beautifully said. Thank you, sir. Now I must go back to watching Emily in Paris with my wife…while pre-gaming Oz with a few triple IPAs from RAR. Carry on! I’ll be back soon or passed out. Too early to call.

I can't tell who's worse, @GreyHat or @Ji.

You came back Sunday and didn't tell us, didn't you?

Looks alike a healthy cold front approaching at the end with some snow associated with a wave along it. Sure its a bit warmish out in front as it always is in these cases, but nothing 'good' was expected until just beyond this time.

 

It's very warmish. 18z had us in the mid and Upper 40's and 12z had us in the mid to upper 30's. I couldn't explain my post because I was walking into a meeting. 12z had a 1-2" event for many, but with temps 10 degrees warmer, hence my comment that it fooked us.

TopHat, I need you to stand up and walk over to the box that handles all your feeds. There’s a switch behind or in front of it. Press it to the off position and step away. Remain standing there until further notice.

Op runs flip flop around- its just the nature of deterministic guidance 4+ days out. Check out the 18z ens mean. Low 40s with SW flow ahead of a major cold front is exactly what is expected in mid winter. The "good" period(we hope) begins just beyond this.

I'm not disagreeing per se, there were some other comments and I  just wanted to explain my brief post. To jump 10 degrees from 12z was enough to fook us was my only point. But, it'll be different come 0z, so fook it again!
