UKMET is in the GFS camp as well through 120 (end of run).  Very similar to the GFS at 120hrs.  

 

Usually don't look at that but yes, not bad.

 

I think what I find comforting about this setup is it isn't some jacked up convoluted dual low with stream interaction. Sure those can show model snow in our yards but heh, they suck.

 

At least the globals  and secondaries are converging on a single vort tracking the south and passing south. Not hard to like that.

Just remember the rule about how the least snowiest model is usually right recently. If we can get the Euro on board, it's all systems go. But if not, I still have strong doubts about the storm. So despite my  :weenie: excitement, I will temper my expectations until the GFS and Euro agree. Even though the Euro is the odd man out now.

Have we had an event this winter where we got at least one nut job 18Z GFS run with purples over the area? Maybe this will be the one.

 

Not purples but we've been 18z gfs'ed a couple times already. I just want a similar vort track. That's not too much to ask. GFS has had like 4-6 runs of similar evolution out of the sw into texas now. This one is all ours till it isn't.

Let's be honest here, the Euro has been good for this storm (today), but it hasn't been very good in the 5+ period so far this winter.  I can list several example without even trying.  So I don't think it's a bad thing for us that it is seemingly standing alone.

 

I feel good about a 6-10'' snow region wide. The streak ends soon ladies and gents!

 

Just need to get Dr. NO on board

I hadn't really been paying too close attention to the state of the NAO.  Looked at huffman's site....really good model consensus for a healthy west-based index in a week or so.  I can't seem to figure out how to post a link, or better yet a pic, of the comparison plots.

 

Anyone, is there a way to copy and paste a pic w/o having to use an imaging host?  There's got to be an easier way.

What exactly is wrong with it?

I suppose you're gonna tell me it was good with Sandy first when it had northern Virginia under 36 inches of snow and later drove Sandy up the Chesapeake? Or maybe it was the 12+ inches of snow it laid on the Shen Valley in the Nov nor'easter. Perhaps it was the 8-12 inch storm it had in early December? Maybe the day after Christmas storm which it had in Madison Wisconsin that ended up in London Ky? Maybe it was the storm it had a couple weeks back where 0.5+ precip turned into 0.05.

Yeah, hug it.

I think everyone's model memory is highly selective. Don't get the logic that we don't need the Euro on board...

Using the standard JMA QFP to reality calculation, we might see a cumulus cloud.

your dry, facetiousness has failed you on this one Yeoman

JMA only goes out 6 days on that site

had you checked the 700RH on Day 6, however

and the 500mb map

you would have seen that our precip would come on the day 7 map which shows (on Accuwx pro) to give us between .5"-.75" qpf

Not what I'm saying Ian. I just said its Ok that it's not there now. Is total model agreement really plausible 5 days out? Is that really all that common?

 

I knew what you were saying. It all comes down to sunday evening. If the euro doesn't show anything by then and the gfs goes to hell then we can talk about how great the euro is. It's a good model. Especially with monsters. But no better than the gfs with regular stuff.
