It promptly goes straight out to sea... so I dunno what we want to pray for

Well, it's not going down like this but it is a whole extra layer of uh oh. I've been rooting for a cutter for days and I can't even get that. You know you're in bad shape when you root for a cutter and lose.

the models were depicting a standard monolithic lakes cutter a week out...the storm ended up being very different

No....youre wrong. It had the massive and powerful northern vort in the lakes, seperate from any southern stream. The SJ really came into play on the models around the 4-5 of Feb. Thats when the phase became a legit option. I was in BOS the weekend of the 2-4 and it was discussed on the NE forum that the northern vort might give them a couple of inches later that week. There was never a cutter...

talking about this winter. His pattern recognition and lr storm threat calls have been pretty good.

Again I think he is a good met.....but he scattershots the lr pattern in verbage that is hard to argue for or against after verification time. I will say for this upcoming 21-22 event it is hard NOT to argue with his thoughts. Its a good pattern for our region.

HM is as good as they come but a major advantage to LR is you can be extra vague and people mostly remember the one hit and not the 8 misses.

Exactly. I enjoy learning from him and like reading his posts. Im not trying to blast him.....but Ive patterned my beliefs that lr forecasting is kinda like fortune telling. However, many take it as gospel. I feel bad for saying what i said in my original post about hm, but i just dont like lr forecasting for the reasons you described.

At this point I think we need to come to the realization that looking for winter threats at a week plus is just stupid. I'm so sick of talk about patterns and likely storms and on and on and on. Not one model is capable of anything remotely reliable at long range. And since those are what most of these long range calls are based on, how are those calls for great patterns and storms anything other than hyped up WAG?

It's a pointless, fruitless activity, and I'm kicking myself for even looking at the models at that range. They always show something good.

I don't understand why that storm isn't forced more southeastward bumping up against a fairly strong HP.

, instead of what its depicted to do.

Exactly. It is pointless. That has been obvious for many years, But we keep coming back. Although it can go the other way sometiimes. Pattern can look terrible and suddenly we are all talking about a snowstorm.

 

Just not this winter.
