Were you trolling his "alert/geek post"/GFS-bashing comment?

yes

i asked why he still hugs the euro so much and if he felt his self congratulation on a storm 5 days away was premature yesterday

That's it. I thought it had the GEFS tracks but doesn't, only the SREF. Thanks.

I think the GEFS (and others) are out on the new Model Analysis & Guidance (MAG) site:

http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/NCOMAGWEB/appcontroller?prevpage=index&MainPage=index&cat=MODEL+GUIDANCE&page=MODEL+GUIDANCE

Here's the link to the Ops and Experimental model output front page for all of the products:

That snowfall totals link also shows a Trace of snow in June in 2002?!? Hail?

The DC weather records that I have show a trace of snow on several summer days, including July 1, 1990, when the temperature range was 69-90, and there were 0.44 inches of precipitation. Obviously any frozen precipitation that fell on that day had to be hail, but perhaps a novice employee who is asked to record the amount of "snow and ice" may interpret hail to qualify in that category.

GEFS seem a bit more supportive of the storm #2 idea. Lots of spread extending back closer to the coast Monday-ish. GFS and GEFS definitely slowed both systems down somewhat.

In official AF observing, we had to report measurable hail as snow/ice.

looks like some snow in the mtns. va, wva. nothing heavy. the storm bombs east of del. as it passes the mid atl.

F-cking Miller B's :angry:

I wonder if the Euro is continuing it's legacy from last winter. It was a big c*cktease in the Day 5-7 range only to lose these sweet looking storms as we got closer to gametime.

I still have those images saved in my computer because I'm such a loosing whiner :weep:

Thanks for the information. The problem with the DC weather record that I have is that, generally, hail is not listed as a trace amount in the "snow" column, but occasionally it is listed. So, it appears to depend upon the recorder as to whether hail gets listed in that column.

Euro shows another big storm (albeit rain) at around 174hrs.

If nothing else, I sure love seeing these coastals form every few days

East QBO will be our snow savior this winter; we'll get our share of rain, but we'll get some hits too

p.s. 12Z JMA is 2" qpf for the weekend with "some" snow, but it's hard to figure out exactly based on the 24 hr map intervals

If I learned anything from last winter, it was not to get excited by a northern-stream dominant pattern. I'm not falling again for the s**t the Euro pulled last year.

I honestly don't remember that winter. Probably because I was getting ready to get married and buy a house, so had other things on my mind. Also probably because nothing happened and I wasn't really following things back then like I do now.
