Long Range should be labeled different: Fantasy outlook or Not going to happen but go ahead give it a shot!

This is why we don't look at the GFS past 120. I keep saying not to do it, but people keep doing it, and then end up disappointed when, invariably, reality does not match long-range model predictions (outside of broad trends).

NC ONCE AGAIN BURIED UNDER SEVERAL FEET OF DAY 10 SNOW

On tap for tomorrow:

 

The 12z GFS comes in bone dry, but the 12z NAM leaves hope alive with 0.1" of QPF.  Meanwhile, the 15z RAP, after being dry in previous runs, comes in with a death band that sweeps across NC during the late afternoon and evening with 6-8" of snow.  The crowd goes wild.  The 16z RAP drops totals to 4-6" and by 17z, the RAP is down to flurries.  Meanwhile, the 18z NAM has an initialization error and spits out 2-4" of snow across central NC.  NCEP announces the error, but some of us cling to it, anyways.  In the meantime, daylight seeps away and a stray 10-mile wide snow band sweeps across the area, whitening up elevated surfaces while DCA records 10" of snow.  However, Ji still complains that his area only got 8" of snow while Winchester got jackpotted with 18-22".

Here's the RAP to get things started.  Look at the energy!  It's stronger and digging further south and west than all of the other guidance. I know that James is going to watch the RAP roll out hour-after-hour tonight!  Keep us updated!

I am so sick of the fantasy 10+ day storms.  I mean... GFS... EURO... CMC... stop it already...

 

Stop the madness!   :axe:  :cry:

Remember when everyone complained that we couldn't even get a fantasy storm to show up on any model?

The strange that about it ... the bold appears to be true over the last couple of runs. Ever so slightly but luckly its the crap rap.
