Every situation is different, but with the recent blizzard we had small incremental bumps north on the GFS with a bigger bump around 96-108 hours out.

Given the GFS biases, it's hard to accept what it's showing. It may verify, but I may win the lottery tomorrow.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: I am not accusing JB of being a Nazi, or Nazi sympathizer.

I saw the nuc post and thought the same thing as an earlier poster, he is my take.

I think we should re-title this thread

Joe Bastardi, or How I learned to stop worrying and love the hype.

I agree but there wasn't several storms in front of it to affect the amplification of the recent blizzard. Or maybe gfs is wrong about the storms in front of this storm. Gotta love grr's afds.

I think this is a good point. With the ORD blizzard we had a decent amount of downstream ridging and the stream interaction was taking place near the west coast. In the case of the late week storm potential, even when the EURO was showing a more favorable solution, like at 0z/4, the phase was taking place in the Plains. That doesn't necessarily mean that a more westerly track isn't possible, but there's a lot less margin for error. Timing and placement of features are going to be much more important as any kind of disjointedness will cause the storm to be suppressed.

I can buy suppressed but the GFS takes it to another level. FWIW, the 18z DGEX has more robust development and a decent event for parts of the OV.

This made me lol. The GFS chances of verifying right now is like winning the lottery. :lmao:

I was talking to Alek earlier and in the boat with him with being in a wait and see mode with this one after following our blizzard for 10 days, alittle drained to say the least lol

The GRR afd this morning was def interesting and caught my attention. I'm not to the point of staying up late to see what the Euro shows.....yet.

JB has hyped this so much, he needs the trough to super amplify to even come close.

more than that....

he needs at least ONE model to show something....probably in the next 24 hrs. I have a hard time believeing Dr. No wouldn't have sniffed out by tonite's run if it was gonna happen. Without that bomb, it's a run of the mill cold feb week....quite forgettable and definitely not even close to the worst winter week of feb in the last 50 years nationwide, (which is what he said).

The majority of models were similar to his analogs. I think he may have jumped the gun but it wasn't a crazy analysis of the models at that time. I don't think this was that crazy of a call, it wasn't just one model showing this. He never set it in stone just said next week could be epic.

lol...stand corrected

He always has his usual spin card he can use:

"look folks, it might not have shown on the surface but at 500 millibars it was WILD!!!"

see what i just posted, i watched his special big dog sometimes people go extreme on what he says. He's a weenie at times just like us and just highlighted what the models were showing, he never guaranteed a storm or said this will be the biggest storm this winter just showed what the models had and outlined the potential for next week. I've followed him for 10 years now way b4 pro when his videos are free he gets amped up and goes overboard but this wasn't an event that he guaranteed to occur similar to what every one here was saying when the models came out.
