This one has a long way to go, most of us look too far south/east but i'm sure a few more surprises are on deck

 

No doubt.. though disappointing the euro had to blow all of our safety net in 12 hrs.  I don't trust that model anymore than the others outside of 5 days or so. At least it was consistent in showing what us weenies on the cold side wanted (minus ice/sleet) without too much wavier.   Eternity until this one is honed in and it feels like we've had on eye on it for one.

Agree. See straw grabbing post above.

 

Here's another semi-straw grabbing post lol.  Just think about it this way..

 

As far as major model runs we still have...

Tonight's 00z

Thu 12z

Thursday night's 00z

Friday 12z

Friday night's 00z

Saturday 12z

 

 

As Alek mentioned, still plenty of time for some more surprises.

I wouldn't become depressed simply because of ONE run. We'll see a variety of possibilities for the next day or so. As we have seen this year so far, models have had a hard time figuring out the final outcome even less than 12 hours out. 

 

For one, this storm is still 84+ hours out. Models can sometimes be too quick in releasing the energy or holding back the energy for far too long.

Although this is a big blow to the EURO, GFS was equally atrocious with its strung out POS, main QPF axis through OH/PA, mostly flurries on the NW side depiction. If today's 12z runs end up being correct, I'd call it a tie for accuracy between the two. More venom obviously is going to be spewed at the EURO cause that was the model that was showing the blizzard.

I think Gilbertfly mentioned it last night, but the northern energy piece is still out in the middle of the Pacific and needs to be fully sampled. That won't be until tomorrow night's model runs. That's our last line of hope. But saying that, I think the final solution will lie somewhere in the middle between last night's Euro run and today's 12z GFS/Euro runs.

Even with the GFS/EURO's track we still get copious amounts of ice. This may be hard to avoid.

Yup lol.....

Yeah bet you will be glad when the holiday madness is over.

Did you clean your box out yet? Been trying to send you messages for a long time :wub:

The busy times don't bother me since the $ flow is increased.

I cleaned it out this morning...So let the messages flow.
