Feb 13: The little storm that could (for some)

The euro nailed the blizzard this past weekend yes, but before that it was a mess for much of the winter compared to the GFS in the mid and long range, and not just in our area.  I follow out west and northern New England for ski purposes and everytime there was a difference between the two in the 4-10 day range the GFS was schooling the Euro on the general storm track and pattern.  I was shocked as I had never remembered as long a stretch where the GFS was doing consistently better then the euro with important details.  I say important details because I know the Euro was still winning with H5 verification scored much of that time, but who cares what model is better as the overall hemispheric h5 if one is getting the important gist of storms correct and the other is flailing around like a fish out of water.  That said, this past weekend resorted the euro "prestige" a bit and reminds it is still not wise to discard it even in a year when it is obviously not handling the pattern very well.  But that said, I would only weight it as an equal chance with the GFS right now given its track record this season.  WHen the two disagree its a coin flip in my mind right now.  I like having the euros little cousin the UK in the GFS camp for the PD storm.
