Multiple "looks" outside of 48h is much better than a hecs outside of 48h especially with so much spread between models. Gimme multiple misses to the south any day at medium/long range...much better than bullseye 4 or 5 days out

I think most of us agree with this in principle, but it's the instant gratification side of us that keeps us from being rational about these things.   There's a good part of me that likes "the gamble" where we see a multitude of solutions from 5 - 6 days away rather than seeing the big one at that range and then it just rapidly falling apart.

I heard Alex Liggitt say that "the models have been terrible this winter."

the models have always been pretty bad at range.. it's a newish phenomenon that people look to d5-10 to get much from them.

Still nice to see.. some SnowTV as you so aptly nicknamed it before

 

 

I've been feeling 1-2 all along. But this run has the added bonus of it falling in a short period and not spread out. It's a good run. All we can do is hope it holds even if it's a small event. Plenty cold and falls during daylight. Would be a fun event. 

 

ETA:

 

This is better than SnowTV. I define it as .5" or less. This a double or triple feature. I'm in.

LOL. We live and die at models d5-10 out.

 

Unless it's currently snowing or imminent. It's how we roll. If people don't want to track 5+ day stuff then don't read the threads. I chuckle at all the people who complain about volatile long leads. If you don't like it don't read it. Seems simple to me.

I don't know if it's the right solution but is a viable one. 

 

Wes, there is another weak event Sunday evening..around 1"..it is a little warmer than Saturday so I think we'd want the precip to come in later in the day...

People here aren't that normal plus there was never such a belief that much useful could come from d10ish as there is now. Those who focus on a pattern more than a storm are more useful in general.

I wasn't complaining.

five years ago, there was never discussion of operational models outside 144 hours...nobody ever took day 7 output seriously...that has changed
