am19psu Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 There really isn't a valid reason to doubt the Euro's depiction, unless there's evidence it's handling the broad scale synoptic features incorrectly. Otherwise, given the Euro's recent performance, the 00z run is a plausible solution, despite the calendar date. But that's the point isn't it - despite the calendar date. I think the date is what's driving so much of the skepticism. Climo-wise, it would be an extremely unusual event to see more than a trace of snow in DC in the first week of November, no matter how good the Euro proved itself with Sandy. If this was Jan/Feb, it'd be a lot easier to have #faithintheflakes... It's also the deepest, earliest, most wrapped up solution, which is what needs to happen for DC snow. It's plausible, but despite its track record, I don't think it's the most likely outcome at this time. Blending the GFS and Euro will get you to a solution that is more likely. And using Sandy as the reason to buy the Euro and dismiss all the other guidance is setting yourself up for failure (look at Isaac and Debby this year for examples when humping the Euro would have cost you big time).

am19psu Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Quick question - when will the upper air features be over our sampling network? Already there. The big player is the shortwave over the Central Plains right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I got blasted for crowning the Euro king before Sandy eventually verified its solution. So I wont claim a victor early again. It seems the Euro is just more capable of handling blocky patterns. It has not wavered from keeping the storm close to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the Euro is just more capable of handling blocky patterns. It has not wavered from keeping the storm close to the coast. The difference being that the blocking isn't as strong this time around, which is helping the uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your insight, and you are absolutely correct. Just commenting on the propensity to doubt early season snowfall around here, and the better verification scores on the Euro. The last thing I want to do this week is shovel snow, and for the good of NJ/NY, I'd prefer a weaker more OTS outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Nam seems to be stuck @ 36 but there is only a slight difference @h5 so far. Digs just a tad further south but I doubt it can close off in time on this run. Edit: noticeable differences starting at hr 39. Trending stronger and further south for sure.

Bob Chill Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Trough definitely sharper vs 6z nam. It's not going to do it on this run but I see nothing glaring to say the euro is out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 12z on the left and 6z on the right. Hr 45/51. You can see the nam starting to dig and sharpen. That is our key (stating obvious). If the GFS starts showing the same trend then it's time to really decide how "right" the euro is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
