What can be done to get some cold air in here? If the storm intensifies quicker, what else.

i don't get it. The NAM has an plenty of cold to the west...low off ORF...850s -2...thickness 534...even time of day is good being early morning

how could we not get some minor snow out of that? Frustrating.

I personally think minor snow is a distinct possibility as the main energy swings through. Just nothing major worth pouring over the data for hours -- would need a drastic change in what most of the models are spitting out (snd "spitting" may be an apropriate verb at this time)

imho, winter is over

we'll never get a diff result in the current mod and strengthening NINA, never

maybe a MAR fluke if the NINA really collapses

winter never started Mitch..the stability of the Vortex in AK and the Positive AO for most of this winter set the tone and it started in November when nobody cared what was going on

They have pooer resolution so won't keep the gradients as tight. Taht might be part of the reason. At this time range, you out to use the sref more than the GEFS. The gesf are for longer range forecasts, the sref for shorter range ones as they have better resolution than the gefs though not as good as the operational.

you could tell Yoda that every 5 minutes for 50 years and it would result in absolutely no modification of his posting behavior

you also thought a -QBO would save us based on utterly uncompellng evidence...

with a 2nd year NINA, it was all we had and I said as much

and if you go back to the thread and see the years that matched statistically, there were some record breaking ones

none of the models that I can recall had the NINA strengthening as it did after Christmas; that's played a large role I think, but whatever

remember, I'm just a messenger

Oh please. At least I am not like some of the other posters. True, I am a bit overboard, and honestly I didn't know the last part, which Wes said

I didn't post to be critical and think I have seen others post the GEFS showing nice things inside of 60 hours for other storms. It was meant as a caveat to be wary of using the GEFS at shorter time ranges. If you want to use ensemble guidance, then it's time for the SREF.

if your a bit overboard..and you admit it...why stay that way?

JI, why don't you and the rest of the know-it-alls around here not go down the road of "you admit your problem, so fix it' because that opens everyone up to certain issues they have that they can't or won't admit and then the whole thing gets denigrated?

I wasn't saying you were Wes. :) just saying I did not know that last part and I learned from that
