This run is comically flat at T+48

Yep. Probably 95% chance at an epic fail now. It's almost like a nightmare to see the model go from burying us in 2 feet of powder to shrouding us in maybe 2 feet of cirrus clouds 30K feet up in one run. I think maybe these strong ENSO patterns throw a ton of chaos at the models that is extremely difficult to resolve, since we saw the same problem last year in a massive Nino.

I mean, it is like night and day. This is not anything close to what I thought it would look. It's a complete disaster, to borrow a Ji-phrase.

So this is the third flip flop then?  First it was euro-west gfs-east, then it was gfs-west euro-east, then it was euro-west, gfs-east for like 24 hours and now the third change, now its back to gfs-west euro east.

combined with GGEM not good...now the GFS/NAM look like they were just behind the trends instead of falling into place. Will be interested to see if HPC backs off in their early disco packages...and if not what their justification would be for holding the rather bullish line they have had today.

It's almost impossible to make an objective forecast with models that are this inconsistent. I have no clue what could be causing this issue, data sparcity, chaos from too many shortwaves, who knows, but this issue seems to be arising with storms this winter too. It's almost impossible to trust anything they say more than 48 hours out anymore. So much for the rock solid, lock-it-in Euro under 96 hrs out.

These model solutions are so erratic it's hilarious (in a very annoying way) but at the same time shows the complexity of this event. We can't buy two model runs in a row with similar outputs, which also tells me it's not time to give up on this just yet. At least not until we have a full cycle of similar solutions for God's sake!
