. I have noticed that a few, not all are real quick to say a model is wrong and has a bias when it does not show snow, but when a model does show snow that model 's "bias" disappears and it is taken to be 100% correct

 

 

We all know this is true.  That said, since no one is a fortuneteller, probably no harm in being an optimist

I would venture to say that the EURO, which showed Nemo to be a catastrophic blizzard in NYC, is having its troubles this winter. Its accuracy cannot be counted on alone. I would see we've got a fair shot at a 3-6 inches.

 

For all intents and purposes "Nemo" was another example of the euro dominating.  sorry, try again.  

 

Yes, it showed a blizzard in NYC that did not verify.  "catastrophic" is your own added hyperbole and an immense snowstorm did occur just east of new york city.  if you truly watched the models from 4 days out right until the start of the event, you would come out saying the euro was the winner.  if not, you just aren't being honest with yourself.  every other model played catch up to the euro, and some didn't even want to do that at all.

they are wishing.  wishes rule this forum

 

Agreed. Some are saying Euro is completely right, when it hasn't been preforming well with this storm, and some are dying by the NAM.

 

OT but Forky, I got to give it to you. Every time you update your profile pic, it makes me laugh so hard. It's hilarious where you find pics like that. This is what I found after a google search. http://peterbellarby.mycouncillor.org.uk/2012/03/30/alison-andrews-is-the-scottish-lib-dem-candidate-for-kirriemuir-and-dean-ward-in-the-angus-council-election/

The Euro may have handled the Feb 8th snowstorm best, but it was too far west...the GFS track was a little better even though the GFS didn't have nearly enough QPF in SNE and LI.

Too far west by maybe 50 miles... conversely, it was the first to show Long Island getting hammered with copious amounts of precip.

gfs completely blew leading up the blizzard. the SNE will tell you so because it was a complete failure for them. there wasn't any other guidance out there besides the euro that held serve, for the most part, from 4/5 days out with the OVERALL depiction of the event. you will get wobbles and ticks with tracks and qpf but the guidance that shows the least amount of variance will always win out....gfs and nam had a huge amount of variance while the euro had minimal.

dood, gfs completely blew leading up the blizzard. the SNE will tell you so because it was a complete failure for them. you cant just look in your backyard....you know this. there wasn't any other guidance out there besides the euro that held serve, for the most part, from 4/5 days out with the OVERALL depiction of the event. you will get wobbles and ticks with tracks and qpf but the guidance that shows the least amount of variance will always win out....gfs and nam had a huge amount of variance while the euro had minimal.

The Euro was consistent from 5 days out. Period. End of discussion ;)
