Rght now, honestly, I'm not sure what to believe.

The minor league models are all we have for the 00Z suite right now. Wait for the GFS and Euro.

[PhineasC]

The RGEM would be a legit big hit, I think.

True....the 21Z sref had no member below .15 so the nam was towards the low end......kind of unusual.  Does the RGEM ever win?

Yes verbatim its a huge hit. I think regardless of its actual output, the takeaway from it is its in the western camp and is wet for us, which can only be a good thing. Big time hit yes, but a good move overall as its gotten better each run.

I love high snow ratios. Agree with Phineas that we need to wait for the major models. Still, this is pretty good eye candy and maybe ... Dare I say it ... A trend.

yes, it was very consistent with the 1/2 storm printing out .35-.4" qpf

I have set myself up for major disappointment after salivating over the SREF and RGEM. Will still gladly take 2-4, anything less put me on weenie suicide watch.

EDIT: Made myself sound like less of a loser.

It was the big winner on Jan 2nd.

Serious question, I can't remember if Snoverkill (2nd storm in feb 2010) also was a clipper that bombed like this.  I seem to recall that being the case, but perhaps I'm off.

Lol @ RGEM. out doing dinner with Matt and we both cackled at it. I'll make ji an admin if it happens.

[nj2va]

For Mitch, RGEM through 48 (still snowing).

It seems to me that the RGEM catches onto precip bombs, regardless of rain or snow. That model was pretty impressive for nailing the excessive liquid during 1/26/11.

The gfs looks like a beauty.

[ravensrule]

Beautiful.

[Bob Chill]

I like the rgem but I think it's hitting the pipe and blowing cold smoke.

[snow.]

Gfs looks sweet

Tell that to the GFS. 

[yoda]

GFS SLP placement at 42 is pretty

I hope you had a big enough dinner to tide you over until Tuesday night   .

cackle at the RGEM will you.....Ha!

[NorthArlington101]

Based on comments GFS paints nearly identical QPF as RGEM?

It is a flush hit. Way north of the nam.

Have not seen the QPF maps yet but it seems it does.
