Bob Chill Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 True. Since the models are wrong whenever they show a HECS we probably want them to show a torch.. except they are almost always right about torch. (here comes Bob.. not this winter!)What's kinda funny the last 5 weeks or so is that the gefs went all torch and stuff in mid Jan for late month but eps said no and the EPS verified. This month the EPS went all torch and stuff for mid month and the gefs said no and will likely verify. It's been an unusual season in the fact that you can hug the colder long range guidance and be right. Back in the early fall I said that my wag for the year would be alternating warm and cold periods with the colder periods outperforming for the season. It was a good guess. I only blew December because it was 106 for a couple days. Late Feb will prob warm but it will have some catching up to do to end up warm on the means. You've said it for years, it's hard to bet against persistence until it's gone. We've had decent stretch of no prolonged heat since Jan of last year for the most part. The warmth in the summer months were mostly the result of lows in the 80's with highs in the 80's. June especially IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 18z gefs looks pretty good. A lot of snowy solutions and better consensus. Still plenty of spread but look pretty good overall at this lead. Eta: The majority of members had a decent lp track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as much as cold is winning it's amusing we (or at least DC) can't put up gigantic monthly departures.. I mean Jan was decent, but it doesn't reflect what it felt like much of the time. I don't really see why we're going to flip warm anytime soon.. perhaps there's a wholesale pattern change on the horizon and I haven't looked but the source regions are cold and we tend to like spring blocking over winter blocking. March rainers for me and pasting after pasting for Mt Parkton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have many thoughts tbh. I've given up on dca's cold. Something is jacked up down by the river. It may never hit below zero again unless Yellowstone blows its top. I think the Chesapeake ice is the biggest sign it was a cold winter. Solid year in that dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 A step towards the Euro. It no phases the SW, it just needs to do it a little faster next run. Bomb in Gulf of Maine as usual, lets see if it can drop 45mb in 3 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Wes said it perfectly earlier today. Fast pattern with lots of pieces. Forecaster's nightmare beyond 48 hours. Gefs/eps look fine. That's all I care about for now. I'm going to spend the next 4 days tracking 3 storms that might pile up 2". I'll worry about op runs later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
