The mood of the board is generally set by a few posters...its funny to watch and I definitely get caught up in it on occasion. We really need the 12z gfs to come back some.....and the euro to hold of course...watch them flip now

 

Seems to me this winter when we need the euro to hold course so close it shafts us.....

Welp, the last half dozen times that the Euro has been in our corner and the GFS hasn't have been seemingly the ONLY half dozen times that the GFS scores a coup.

The difference here is most of those times the euro was off the reservation with its own solution without much support.  This time it is the GFS that has gone off on its own without support.  Plus this past run of the GFS and its off hour run were different from previous GFS runs.  I would not worry much yet.

The GFS is an awful model in the day 3-4 range (not sure why it always has these issues), yet I think it is better than the NAM between days 1-3.  Ususally it takes a run or two to catch up to the Euro.  I'd look for it to correct by 0Z.

 

Interesting opinion given that objective, quantitative verification suggests otherwise.

It's not like the GFS has been bad runs the entire time, as before 00z and 06z it had some decent hits. The GFS has been all over the place so maybe we should let it agree with itself for a bit before putting it in the GFS vs euro debate.

Yep, I posted verification rates yesterday and the GFS really wasn't that bad. With that said, the GEFS was better than the GFS and that actually hasn't been THAT bad of an outcome for us.

we sort of lost the GEFS at 6z, they were still good at 0z but went very dry as well at 6.  I was more worried about that then the operational going dry.  Still think its wrong but we will see.  This season getting precip in here when it is cold has been like a quest to the 4 corners of the world.

I don't think I'd call it a miller b on this Euro run.  The low stays pretty far south. 

Now that I have actually seen the euro run I am wondering what all the fear was about.  I hate getting into an argument over miller a/b or just a transfer but the low tracks well south, and transfers to the NC coast not off the mid atlantic.  Its just about perfect and would be a 5-10" snow for the area.  I guess some can be upset that Boston gets 20" but who cares.  Now being worried that it is wrong and the GFS solution is right is legitimate, but being worried about that Euro run somehow implying a screw job is not.

At what point does one place any emphasis on the SREFS.  I think I know the answer, but someone please tell me it's way too early for that.

I'd start looking at them tomorrow evening, just my two cents.  I found it's best to wait until you're under 48 hours before using that particular guidance.

Well, we all know these coastal transfers happen further north than progged and the models typically pick up on that as we get closer, so if the Euro is depicting transfer off of NC today, by Thursday it will be indicating transfer off of DE. (Or the GFS could be right, and there is no storm and we will just get a clipperlike system with flurries.)

I am always worried when there is no model consensus, because the times we get significant snow when the major models are not in consensus by 84/72 hours seem few and far between. It usually means there are too many factors to "get right" for us to have snow, and this could be another one of those instances. I sure hope I'm wrong though, because this cold air would be a shame to waste.

Your favorite weenie is going to miss the storm.  But I'm still watching it and hoping it destroys our weather.  I get excited when I see things come together even if I'm not going to be here.   I love my Mid Atlantic peeps  :wub:   Although it's not that great, I bet the 12z NAM comes in with like an inch of QPF over us.

And there is a certain weenie on here who will still call it a s^&% model

I have never seen everyone so pissed off by such a great Euro run. What in the hell is the matter with us?

Lol... New to this forum, I see. You know the drill. Paranoia and not being in the bullseye leads to lots of complaining. However, 2 days from now, we'll be scratching and clawing just to see a few flakes and wishing that run of the Euro had verified.
