So what are the boundary layer temps?  Next we'll be worrying about it trending a little too far north.  I don't think it can come too much farther north but I've been wrong before.

 

Freezing level during the higher QPF periods falls from 925mb to 950mb.  Below that is maybe 1 or 2C.  I think it is a snow sounding, especially towards 18 to 21z on Wed.  Actually, the early overnight period soundings are good, which makes me wonder if we couldn't hold onto snow despite a modeled boundary layer that is iffy.

Ryan Mahue said the new GGEM has been performing as well as the GFS and barely below the EURO

 

 

  1. .@EricBlake12 during same time period using 00z, 12z: GFS = 0.922, ECMWF = 0.939. (Anomaly Correlation 5-day z500 NH)

  2. How's the new Canadian Global model performing? For 5-day N. Hemi height skill -- very well. r = 0.922 pic.twitter.com/7tbnR6Dab4

AC scores don't really tell the whole story when it comes to real model skill and usability. But I do agree, the GGEM is better than most give it credit for.

I'm gonna go with Zwyts on this.

Not sure what you mean. Bowling ball certainly was in play just felt like phasing was better option for cold. This is about perfect for us obviously.. Maybe too soon.

Not really, it's a losing battle but that's okay.  Now I'll have to recompile the model to go back to screwing DC at 00 UTC.

 

I don't even know how you can handle all the bashing when few of the weenies who constantly bash it have little clue what these models are doing. That said, the NAM is still a bad numerical model, but I know you have nothing to do with that model.

Wow 18Z with the crush. Lots of heavy, wet snow That's the bad kind.  :wacko:

 

The storm we had down this way back in January had only about 5" of heavy wet snow and we had trees coming down all over the place with thousands w/o power. Someone is gonna get destroyed with a heavy wet snow and it might not be pretty.
