There is no such thing as a "seasonal trend". Wednesday's storm trended so far north that I barely recorded .3" of rain. The seasonal trend, if any, is just bad luck in this area.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to wean myself off this threat, but it's unfair to waltz in after a miss is becoming apparent and effectively issue an "I told you so!" because of the "seasonal trend".

It has been a great snow season, can't agree with the bad luck.

What the heck? Last night everyone said the model trends were great and things were trending towards the GGEM. Seemed like a snowstorm was on. Now one set of model runs, and the storm is about finished? I guess this an example of how frustrating a hobby this is. Models make us look like fools.

how much above average is your seasonal snowfall?

And your point is? I didn't say it was a bad season.. we had plenty of cold and storms.. but if we look back..most of the storms some models were showing 16+ inches.. and most of them in reality were 6-8 inches. So my point is? GO WITH THE ONE SHOWING LESS.

The euro ensembles were steady with this and have been south the whole time. Once you lose the GGEM you have to wrap up the big accumulating scenario. Remember follow the guidance and not what the models used to show.

This will not magically turn back to where the models where

And the sref and nam at this range are not the models one should look too this far out.

Respect the guidance you are seeing from the top 3 skill score models . Not saying it's not going to snow but gone is the big solution and now it's what u can salvage

Yea but i thought when this model initially led the way with the armagedon scenario several days back, it's verification score was number 2 or something like that for that 5 to 6 day time frame.

Euro ensembles had the .50 line into NYC if I'm not mistaken.  Now looks to be zero

It's not a matter of disagreement. NCEP model data is available on a hundred different sites, many of which roll out graphics just as fast as—if not faster than—paid services. I completely support accurate descriptions of what a given model has shown, what trends are evident vs. prior runs, initialization vs. current observations, etc., because that's useful. It is extremely confusing and destructive to the integrity of the discussion to repeatedly jump the gun and post misleading speculative one-liners that directly contradict each other. If you're going to say "I see x, and I think that might mean y", that's fine; much of the time it seems like many folks are bent on being the first to acknowledge a frame, though, and as we all know, haste makes waste.

 

It's the same deal with the 12z NAM a few hours ago; I woke up and logged in to the forums on my phone, read through three pages of "wow, what an epic/weenie/HECS run straight out of Anthony's basement!", only to find that the model took significant steps back from a major snow solution. It's confusing, and I would say in direct contrast to the site's mission of disseminating and analyzing info fairly, accurately, and professionally.

 

I don't mean to single anyone out, although there are repeat offenders, and I wish we could do away with the monkey business of forecasting the models. We have all weekend to mull over data... we don't need to risk distributing complete falsities for the sole purpose of blurting out model steps mere seconds before our colleagues. This thread has almost as many guests reading as it does registered users—just keep that in mind.

 

I'll take it to banter or something from here on out, but I feel this needed to be said.

AMEN!!

You still have to give it another set of runs before saying it's permanently done, the shifts seem too radical from 0z. Normally the shifts are more subtle. Back in early March the models were gradually adjusting south with each run, they didn't have such rapid swings. I mean the GGEM went from a foot plus to basically nothing in one run, which seems way too sudden.

Did the energy just come on shore?
