By March when many of us have received 50% of our average seasonal snowfall I'll change my name to something a bit more fun.

How about Marquis de Sade? Who once said "There is no God, Nature sufficeth unto herself ; in no wise hath she need of an Author."

It hits home a little bit just how much time we still have before any of this, when the clipper is still 1,000 miles away on the 84 hour NAM. :lol:

:lol: yeah, consider just the amount of change we can see in 48 hours of NAM runs. And we're not even within its range yet!

Since Saturday temperatures have been running way under MOS. Today was like -8 on GFS MOS and -4 on NAM MOS at Bradley.

Here's the 12hr forecast error for today's high temps from GFS MOS (00z 12/6 run). I've highlighted errors +/- 5 degrees or more...

Much nicer graphically than my post in text lol

I wonder why the MOS is busting so bad. 2M temps haven't been too bad.

NAM MOS is definitely better but still running high.

Yeah errors on NAM MOS were much lower...on the order of 2-4 degrees too warm.

I'm not sure why we're seeing such a warm bias. 925/850 temps are not unusually cold (no more than +1 to +2 SD). Good example of leaning more toward raw model 2 meter temps than MOS. Fortunately, we are able to use bias-corrected MOS databases (which have come in handy this week!)

Yeah I noticed this weekend so have been undercutting quite a bit. This cold isn't that unusual wrt climo and we're not dealing with strong cold advection so it's sort of odd.
