Epic winter signal continues to beam, part II

MET has been very good for awhile now. During last summer's heatwaves, it cleaned MAV's clock. However during the most recent extreme cold, MAV won the battle. Maybe the colder biased model does better when the cold is real?

I generally find the MAV to be better. I think it has more of a statistical history over the MET right now. Ironically I found the MET to outperform the MAV during the last arctic outbreak so it's funny how 2 people can perceive a different thing from the same info. Maybe the MAV was better down there...I didn't look a lot for BOS. The MET tends to do very well with those low level cold shots from arctic highs. It was consistent on having the heart of the cold come in that Sun night and keeping a single digit high here for Monday. The places that decouple like mad leaned toward the colder MAV temps in NH from what I remember though.

It's too bad they killed the NGM MOS. It had a "brain" going back many years.

YeaH talking exact snow amounts right now is a fruitless task for the most part. I mean I guess you could throw out very general numbers. Most are probably looking good for 4"+ because of that front runner appetizer...but what happens after that is very uncertain other than there's going to be a crap load of winter precip...the type is what's tough to figure out at this juncture.

The take it FWIW part should be 1) Probably a sick gradient on either side of I-90 by about 20-30 miles. and 2) All snow areas are probably going to get a lot.

Yeah... just my new fetish... not sure how to back it out, or if it is possible.

DGEX time machine fail

Well the DGEX continues running off of the GFS from the 84hr NAM. So you're only going to get 84hr+.

You'd want to combine the 6z NAM snow with the 6z DGEX snow to get the 192hr total, but that's worth several frankfurters.

I think this could be really bad here. We were 5-10 degrees colder than forecast for much of the ice storm a couple of weeks ago. This looks colder, with more QPF, with trees and houses more snowloaded and traumatized than before. I like the idea that we don't lose our snowpack, but I'm worried this could cause some lasting damage.

Is there any recent precedent for this kind of ice storm on top of this magnitude snowpack down here? If not, this could test structures in a way that hasn't been seen in decades.

Don't buy into all this ice talk in CT..It's mostly snow..with maybe some sleet at the height
