yeah, the monster storm did materialize, just a matter of 300 miles is the difference between a screaming cutter and a KU
frustrating, but it is what it is. hopefully we can get a follow up wave behind it
haha fair. tough to communicate tone via text
@Damage In Tolland but yeah to answer your question there are a couple shots at a wave after this one, but I don't even wanna think about those right now
thanks for understanding. i’ll refrain from now on - unless it’s egregious
hahaha
I really don’t know what to think here. I still think everything is on the table. the foreign models do give me pause but the GFS suite is holding strong and other models are ticking. the GEFS is insane
this is going to be a biggggg weekend
sorry… did not mean to come off as judgemental. just want everyone to keep a level head as much as possible
this is going to be a doozy to track and if one invests too much emotionally, it’s going to be a bad time. trust me, I have prepared for the GFS to have egg on its face and for everyone to rain… I would probably rage a bit too
the angst over a 70 mile difference between rain and snow at day 7 is quite silly, too
I feel like people just have to take a couple days and let this play out. we'll know what's up by Monday, most likely
hilarious when comparing to the 18z EPS. like what the fuck
it's a wholesale synoptic feature that just isn't there on the EPS at 5 days out! crazy
one of these models is going to be really, really, really wrong
I'm just happy that the GFS is digging in its heels. something has to give, and it doesn't seem to be the GFS right now
we can work with the GFS for sure at 7 days out. brings significant wintry precip and it still has a lot of issues
looks like the GFS has fused the two S/Ws. really interesting. no idea where this will go, but I can assure that it won't be like the ECMWF in its evolution
yeah, the GFS was more amplified because of the S/W. the synoptic evolution is absolutely nothing like the ECMWF
this run was just typical Day 7 noise, not a step towards the ECMWF
the more important thing here is that the GFS held serve synoptically and the ICON made a big shift towards it
if the ECMWF makes the same synoptic changes, it bodes much better for a coastal storm. keep in mind that this is still 7 days out
I'll take this at 7 days out. the good thing is that the evolution is absolutely nothing like the ECMWF
there's going to be a lot of noise at this range, which is expected anyway
we're seeing better confluence downstream. might be more amped, but this is also nice to see. heights are much more zonal into New England
I'm happy with this run overall
