Also WTF is wrong with the GFS?
Numerous upgrades over the years, with little or no improvement in forecasting skill in the months after the upgrade.
NAM is still the laughing stock, but GFS is providing plenty of extra comic relief this storm.
Not what I said. I pointed out a trend on the GGEM.
I also pointed out that the GFS's should be tossed because it was turning the storm OTS faster than any other mode.
PD 1 storm was a bomb. The ULL held together. I don't think it is a good analog
PDII and the blizzard of 1983 are probably better analogs for SNE.
High placement was nearly identical in 1983
PDII wad a similar troff lifting out and weak coastal, High placement was similar but a lot stronger. Also had a deep tropical connection
GFS is out on a limb having heaviest snowfall over us. Every other model now shows it NE PA to BOS. I'm taking a page from DTs playbook and tossing the GFS.
Closed 700mb low over Atlantic city, so That probably Implies NYC will get crushed and could be the jackpot of the whole event.. Sharp cutoff north of there though.
There has been a trend to slow the troff down like most big systems ever since I can remember. Hopefully this is a hiccup. 3 more runs on this trend and the jackpot is Albany to Burlington.
