I think I remember that one! That was the one where even though we live like 10 minutes from each other it started absolutely ripping at my house and you were still Debbie downing it because it hadn’t started there yet, then bang it snowed at about 2” an hour for 5 hours. That was awesome. I remember a big gust of wind that accompanied the start of the snow…it knocked over my front porch chairs. Man that storm was sweet.
Conversely, I remember many, many, MANY times where the GFS was being stubborn until the very end and we were all rooting for it to be right only to see it quickly cave to the Euro on a run at the very end. I’d still want the Euro to be on our side.
I think I remember reading several posts saying that it did. I know the op GFS had the heaviest snow too far north. It had us in the jackpot area until a day away.
The good news is very VERY rarely do those icestorm model solutions ever verify in our area.
And the GEM is actually nice. The temps just absolutely crash while heavy qpf is still around and we get a nice thumping.
Another bump north on the 12Z GFS. We're now in the icestorm portion of the storm with plenty of time for further trends north. As I said yesterday, I've seen this story a million times.
