Was trying to say to all the it's over people that the people who actually do know aren't even ready to say something like that.

I knew what u were saying. We all know the storm is problematic. Nobody ever said it was a lock. But it takes an intellectual genius to cancel it 3-4 days out because the 18z gfs looked worse and there is no verbatim solution that requires a shovel yet.

I've changed my mind why I want this one. Not to break the streak. I want bump troll material so some people can see over and over again how bad of a poster they are.

This whole setup makes me question everything. You have the NAM showing significant precip breaking out over OKC and as Mitchnick pointed out having the energy cutoff and then the GFS has this puny little ripple so to speak. Curious to see if the GFS changes course at Oz it was absolutely atrocious with Nemo never did catch on with that storm. This is a completely different setup however so I can't really compare apples to oranges lol

You can't discount the nam through 48. If the front of the vort is sharp like that in 2 days then the euro can get off the throne and start cleaning the bathroom. Not saying anything is a lock but you guys know what I'm saying.

Yeah, but I still don't trust the NAM, especially with the GFS not as enthused with that vort. Also, looks like the nrn stream vort is less defined on this run vs 18z.

Such a subtle setup. We seem really prone to those this year. It can totally whiff. I just get ticked at bandwagon cancelers who can't read a model beyond surface and precip. Plus, I hate the trendy "no euro no go". If we were talking about an amped coastal I would be 3 in line behind zwyts and Ji to say that. There is far from a small chance here even if it's not pretty.

Phew, tries to save itself later. Dumps on us. NAM certainly doesn't see this as a milquetoast OTS wave.

even though we'll try (me included), we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that this will do anything other than nailing you know who if it's going to nail anyone

I don't care who claims it to be a neutral ENSO, every event I've seen this year says it's a NINA

You know, what Ian, Randy, and WxUSA should do is take every person who enters a long range thread with these winters over, winter sucks, punt this storm (long range mind you like punting on second down), etc. posts and restrict their privileges so that they can't post in the MA forum until April.

Hey, simmer down. I was just giving an opinion of how this winter has been going and what I feel is coming (which I believe is the first time I ever did this). It's called discouragement. I don't think we need the thought police out patroling the posts because you don't like what someone posted.

Here's a question before I head off to bed.  The NAM is warm with a crappy track,  the GFS has a decent track but isn't as wet and still is not cold enough to snow.  How do we get the cold air and precipitation?  I don't know which set of models is correct. I'll leave that to people either smarter than me or more adventuresome.  I will say no matter what the solution,  I think snow is getting to be a long shot.

and that's probably an understatement

once I saw the 12z dropping the northern stream south and the southern vort stopping to wait, the writing was on the wall
