This is why ensemble snow maps are useless for events that require precise phasing . It’s either phases or it dosent and low res models won’t have a clue if the high res ones don’t

[Ji]

We can afford a bit of a south jog from this run lol

[stormtracker]

Hard to get vested in this with models literally changing every other run. I’d pay for 5 inches of snow rn

I think this is pretty simple but very complex for models. If it phases properly we have a good chance for white paste rain

[Ji]

Ai models probably don’t have the computing to forecast precise phases

Funny thing about this possible wet snow is usually id prefer it to hang around a bit but I've gotten my fill on snowpack this year so im ok if this just snows hard then melts the next day

Eps snowfall was disappointing, so there was a lot of warmth in them.
