0z consensus is south. Uk Cmc and gfs all went south

 

looks like the 18z GFS might have sniffed this one out.

 

i might have to pbp the bad news of the euro.

The gfs evolved the exact opposite way I expected. I think the most important thing to note is the ull has slowed down... So much so that it now completely misses the phase. Also, the N Atl low has trended stronger and now looks like a quasi 50/50. Based on this which is probably due to new data, the euro will likely come in as a whiff tonight. We can still however cash in in a few ways. Either the ULL slows down more so the next n/s shortwave catches it, the whole evolution of the n/s is faster (which would fit with the seasonal trend), the quasi 50/50 trends stronger (which allows the ull to turn the corner by building ridging) or the ull trends north. Either way, without a phase (in the last two scenarios) we are looking at a sloppier storm with snow to rain to snow being the most likely outcome. Still a good snow, but not the monster the 12z runs today were advertising. I think this storm should make many more hopeful because there are several ways we end up with a respectable solution, rather than the usual one.

Nope. Other than a graph that was posted the other day in the NYC forum showing it was lockstep w/ the euro since its upgrade 2/13.

interesting. that's a really tiny sample though.. would want to see it over a long period before thinking i need to add another model i look at.

I agree. I was just kinda messing w phin. But i just found the graph and it is neck and neck with the euro. Regardless at this point i prefer the gfs/euro combo. Plus the ens. Ukie is the tiebreaker.

The UKMET is great in the lab but on the streets in a knife fight with the Euro it always gets stabbed in the kidney.

Would be cool if it is better now. I'm pretty simple. I usually just do the euro/GFS and ens blend at range. The rest often confuses things IMO. GGEM seemed to lead way last night. Wonder if the euro will deamp further.

have seen the ens mean be out to lunch plenty of times though. seems people run toward the snowy model.

Maybe so, at times.  But if the reverse were true, with the OP showing a great solution but the ENS mean highly suppressed with nothing, most everyone would probably be really concerned that the OP was an outlier.

in the context that we all know it is an uphill battle, I like the trends so far at 0z....GFS is better than 18z and still an outlier compared to the ens members which are better than they were at 18z

 

I never thought the GFS sfc depiction matched the upper levels very well....I expected it to look much better...euro has better resolution...I'd trust it better with the surface at this range all other things being equal

I think it is still useful at this range...looking at spaghetti plots the OP is a huge outlier at the surface...slower and way south

 

Probably tho we're getting close to the range where the ops start doing better. I don't think the GFS is right per se. I do worry that without a big bomb phase we're going to run into precip issues around here.

I dunno. There's usually heavy rationalization about why the snowiest model is the best.

Even if Euro goes less impressive for us - it's not like it couldn't sway back. Obviously trends are important but we still have time to go here folks. 

 

this is really more for fun than anything else...there will be no locked solution yet...I wouldnt be surprised by an open wave off SC or an I-95 snowstorm

I haven't looked overly carefully at the ensembles that much for this.  Offhand, would you say they've been fairly consistent in today's runs, despite the OP going from encouraging (06Z) to really great (12Z) to a whiff (18Z and now 00Z)?
