Yeah hate to say it but I'm starting to lean more toward to GFS. Euro showed a cave. I expected one of the 12z op runs to do it... but the trend is NW. 

 

Probably a mistake to fully embrace the GFS.  This is about the time we start to see it trend SE.  No other solution is wrapped up like it.

Euro will come north and gfs a little south?

 

From here on out? If so, that's a big storm for SNE (at least eastern half or 2/3rds) and a big win for the GFS...like a 70/30 compromise from yesterday which is usually what the GFS loses by.

Common sense would argue the GFS with its enormous eastern MA QPF is probably overdone...   The Euro came N a bit compared to 00z, but not nearly the impact of the 12z GFS and its ensemble mean...  I suspect, however, that since every member of the GFS ensembles are virtually identical, and it is the Euro that is the one that is differentiating, that should speak volumes in this situation.  I've never liked the Euro's appeal on things over the last couple of days - I explained why.  

 

I could see 1/2 to 2/3rds, maybe 3/4 of the GFS QPF,  and an at last compromised closer ECM solution ending up being the story with this thing, and that would be fine with the GFS performance on things for me.  The problem is, the GFS is the extreme solution, but by shear statistical past, the extreme solution is the rarer realized.  Much rarer actually...

I envision a live shot Wednesday night where you are in 3"/hr ;)

I don't know...just talking out loud. My worry is the gfs collapse to the euro. Wouldn't be the first time.

I would have expected a bigger leap than the EC made.  But, no doubt this is a cave.  It's not an utter failure in that it's adjusting for whatever bad runs in had to at least provide credence to an event much further north than it had.  Suspect it will tick further north as well.  Curious to see how it's ensembles look.

 

But, for those who don't want to acknowledge its many failings during the course of this winter, please take note that the king has fallen.  That's not saying the GFS solution is going to play out, but the EC is doing some pretty serious back tracking as it trys to catch up.

 

Chalk it up to the winter of 2013--the great year of modeling fails.

 

30.8/28

Lol, Will I just gave ratios on thinking that were very similar -

Yeah... can't fully embrace it... but after a big Euro jump and 4 runs of GFS consistency (WITH ensemble support) have to almost hedge toward the GFS.

Yeah but I'm starting to def favor the more amped solutions now. The Euro made a nice change from 00z. Its biggest change yet.

That retro-phase of energy I mentioned 2-3 days ago now seems to be how we are going to get a good system. The Lakes phase once we got inside of D5-6 never was going to get it done...we needed a March 2001-esque retrophase to help get this ULL a bit more neutral/negative and clear downstream at the same time. It looks like this might be actually happening now...but obviously still some time left before getting too bullish.

All aboard the GFS one last hurrah for me i think. SNE crew, were playing with house money here,if we dont get it, no big loss, we had an epic February!! If we do, this is a bonus and will probably be the last major winter storm for me as i leave the east coast later this year. Its been a wonderful 9 years tracking these things with all of you. Ill never forget it!!
