 MetalMan supposedly not picking up on the sarcasm may be trolling to get attention. I don't think he's that dumb. I suspect he may very well be aware of the sarcasm but perhaps just wants replies based on the assumption he isn't aware of it.

Come on. I didn't read it at first as sarcasm. I thought he was being serious and I was going to correct him with maybe the exception of Washington DC. I don't think they are above average. By the way this post doesn't make sense, why would I want people to think I'm dumb?

Do you really think Mack is that ignorant of the NE snow that has been neverending?

Yeah! I'm not as advanced at model reading and analysis as most on here, even metal. But I'm very observant and have been fascinated with weather , especially wintry weather, since I can remember! Trust me , if I'm not getting snow, I will be watching to see who is!

I seen some redbud trees blooming along with pink cherry trees. Dafs and tulips are behind this year. Spring time is in the air but thats about to come to a temporary end and tonight the frogs shut up for a while. They've barking day and night for like the last week. But if I had to hibernate in the ground I'd be hungry and horny too right about now.

 

But I'm going all in till my chips run out around the first of April even though its rare. With this unusual  cold +AO dominated winter I know April is on the table.

All the cycles have there weaknesses and strengths at some point, so we can't just throw away any model cycle reading that. The 6z is the worse run, but not by that much. Hell if we are going to toss the 6z GFS, might as well toss the CMC, RGEM, NAM, and other worse models.

 

I don't think the 6z GFS is statistically significantly worse than any of the other three GFS model runs.  They're all nearly identical, which is the point.  They're really no reason to toss any GFS run based on it being the 18z run, 06z run, or whatever.

 

BTW, the CMC has higher verification scores than the GFS, so I'm not sure about tossing it.....

CMC has been doing good, see below. I will say this is the first year in a while that I wouldn't mind seeing some flakes in March, usually I am all in for Spring and 70F weather. Hopefully we can get lucky and see an inch or something.

Wow, I didn't realize the gap was that big.  The Canadian is kicking butt and is barely behind the Euro.  4dvar FTW?

 

And that gives me justification to hug the Canadian's solution at 12z for another couple hours until 00z changes everything. :lol:

 

I think you mentioned this in the main thread but the 18z GFS has less than 1" of precip over the next 16 days. Where is the SS at?

 

We need a positive QPF bust and a positive cold bust.  Oh, wait, that never happens.  It's only the other way around.  :axe:

 

BTW, both the EPS and the GEFS are pretty cold in the LR, especially post-D10.

BTW, speaking of the Canadian, it looks like it's getting a major upgrade soon.  Maybe it will challenge the Euro?

 

From DT (typos and all): :lol:

 

 

 

** IMPORTANT WEATHER MODELS NEWS *** CANADIAN MODEL TO UNDERGO ANOTHER MASSIVE UPGRADE...

back in FEB 2013 the CMC Global Model (big scale) and REGIONAL Model) under went a major upgrade and went to 4DVAR. 

The EURO snd Br Models use 4DVAR... the GFS uses 3DVAR ( WHAT is 3DVAR 4 DVAR? see below)

After seeing significant improvement in their Models in 2013 last month the Canadians announced they are pourings tens of millions of $$ into another huge upgrade. 

1 The current model resolution of the Global Caandian ( aka as the GGEM) is 25km ... under this new upgrade they will drop it down to 15km... equal to the ECWMF ( uro is 16km)

2 they will expand the use of 4DVAR on all of the CMC Global ensembles which is Huge and very costly. AS of this postiing ONLY the ECMWF ensembles uses 4DVAR . ... so this increase by the Canadians is BIG 

3 Model the short range RGEM Model resolution will shift from 12km to 5km and go out to 60 hrs.
