RGEM...doesnt look much different than the NAM. Split system. I'm on that bus now 99%.

Its split down south, but by the time it reaches us, I'm pretty sure it wont be. We'll see what the radar looks like tomorrow night....I'm betting the WCB and CCB are congealed by that point.

This is not going significantly se of the 00z EURO.....it's just not.

I don't know, Ray.

NAM has been SE of consensus for a while, and now four consecutive runs of the GFS have shifted the precip SE while the most recent NAM shifts NW slightly matching the 06z GFS better than previously.

My confidence for anything more than a glancing blow is fairly low.

But the split is indicative of the fact that this one can only get so far NW. Whether it's the Burbank Kicker, the GOM s/w or a combination of both, I think the Euro caves today to a similar idea...but maybe more robust who knows.

We've been saying go meso all year....I'm betting the NMM/ARW, MM5 aren't much different.

This is a NICE hit for a lot of us, it's just not in the same areas that have been jackpotted all winter....instead Bob, CapeCod04 and maybe even Phil and I get to share in it for once.

I'm confident all we are seeing is en embarassment for NCEP.

Did you happen to dream last night about a rich European count whisking you away to the Swiss alps where you frolicked in feet of champagne powder?

That was actually the Euro, invading your dreams.

It was a crushing hit.

I pretty much always dream of that, only it's an Eastern European count and we go to Transylvania.

But beggars cannot be choosers; your news of a crushing hit on the Euro is most welcome.

Now if only one of the American models would support it... the GFS trends and split depiction have me uncertain.

99%, wow that's confidence! ;)

You picked up on this last night, and I'll give you credit for it. But I think you jumped the gun a bit before seeing the GFS.

Personally, I think the GFS will shift north a bit from 06 as the NAM did. Expecting a compromise betweent he ECMWF and the NAM.

High-end MECS bordering on HECS for us.....winter of discontent continues for Messenger; more IP and rain.:(

At the end of the winter I can look back of photos of skiing with friends in family in four states....my life doesn't revolve around my snowpack and it's been a fantastic winter due to all the snow. I'm happy whether it snows here or in Maine, or even NE Vermont. If it snows in Maine I go to Sunday River, snows in Vermont I go to Okemo or Burke. If my life consisted of measuring snow in the winter sure, this would be a bummer...but it just doesn't.

I think the RGEM doesn't look bad for rain/snow for CapeCod04, I'm still probably getting wet.

And the CMC?

I thought the mid levels argued for that...a nice fill in, of the ccb.

I don't think anyone has ever disputed this. It's split in the south, it outruns some of the support due to the first s/w complex, but the developing low and approaching m/l center wraps the entire thing up. The only question is, is the old Euro right in never allowing the escape.

Transylvania is actually a reasonably snowy place, for Europe.

So call this storm the Carpathian Crusher if it pans out............

And if it doesn't ............the Balkan Bust, maybe?

I must say that I'd like some kind of firm steer soon, since I have to prepare a lab session today that will be utterly useless if we get closed on Thursday (U. Mass. Lowell)

:lol:

I'm obviously speaking within the context of meteorology.

Yea, sure....CMC, too.....it blows, anyway.

Just wondering how you arrive at that conclusion. Are you a 6z NAM hugger?

Hmmm...with everything seen...unless the Euro comes in with a crushing hit for SNE...I really think we will be doing some light shoveling Thursday morning..so disappointed in this... just my opinion

Box has posted Winter Storm Watches. Still calling for overal 8-12". Paraphrasing - they feel like models are in better agreement with the track, but still a lot of uncertainty with timing. 34" so far this season in Groton, Mass. Hopefully we'll be close to 4ft by storm's end, although 12+ totals seem to be less likely based on trends.

This is sort of how I look at winter also - I'm a little disappointed when we don't get snow imby (which we have this year) but I'm more disappointed when it doesn't snow up north or in the berks.

That said, I'm not feeling a lot of confidence for N. ski areas to see too much at all out of the solutions we've been seeing on the models the past 2 days.

If I interpreted their banter correctly, and weeded out the bad early readings from the amateurs, Will and a few others basically looked at it like a piece of art for the ORH to BOS corridor.

We're talking kind of about two different things. This is where I kind of feel I should explain it again because it's getting gradually distorted.

The debate is whether or not the Euro and it's ensemble mean is right in keeping this as one big, jovial system from the SE right up to here. No interruption, just a big happy storm that delivers a big hecs. Versus the models that break out some moisture that gets booted east for a bit before the entire thing wraps back up over us. I think the latter is real, IE we see the split to the south. It's already happening, look at the explosion of moisture in the GOM right ahead of that little spin I highlighted earlier

Like I said it's not a huge deal for many, just a difference of opinion. The RGEM and NAM are great hits.

Anyway, on to the GFS.
