SnoSki14 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Looks like LR Gfs shows some good moderation but in these cases ensembles are the best tools to use. Before that happens however the gfs OP does show some snow potential end of next week. Either wet snow or a cold rain are possible as temps look marginal but those details don't matter at all right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Which do you have? How much per month? I've had both, during the busiest times of the year (January-March) I sometimes carry both becasue WxBell offers a bit more in the way of high resolution data and it's also a great source for the ECMWF ensembles, but StormVista updates a lot quicker so that's why I prefer it. The cost is $20 per month. I don't remember how much WxBell is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 For a monthly subscription Wxbell is $20 a month.. I have both WxBell and SV and for $40/month for both its a great deal. Hi-Res models and a Forecast from JB, D'elio, downs and Maue is a grear deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Someone care to explain the difference between GFS and GFS parallel models? NCEP pitied our plights as insatiable weenies, and gave us an entirely new model to increase the odds of finding data in our favor. We're no longer bound to begrudgingly accept the GFS: we have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Someone care to explain the difference between GFS and GFS parallel models? Parallel is the upgraded version of the GFS from NECP, right now it's in beta but it goes operational on December 17th at which time the GFS as we know it will cease to exist. Highlights include better resolution, 3 hourly to 240 hours, and supposedly better accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forkyfork Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 i don't mean it as a slam on radio forecasters. we have so much information available on the internet and radio news listenership is declining http://stateofthemedia.org/2013/audio-digital-drives-listener-experience/audio-by-the-numbers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WintersGrasp Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The media is definitely taking advantage of being able to call this a "BOMB CYCLONE". It's making for many great headlines.

Its also the most listened to in the state so even if you're not tuning in for weather you're going to hear it because they give it 4x an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB GFI Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Gotta love these 1 off crazy Day 13 control runs of the Euro . I hope the corresponding snow map to this does not make its away around on the internet as the hype of a Pre Thanksgiving Blizzard would be intense . Please note , I threw this is in BANTER , as its more than likely BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleetStormNJ Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not sure if this is the right place to inquire, but anybody have recommendations on sites (even paid) to get in the grind for the winter? I finally have some spending money this year and am willing to spend some coin. I've been looking at Weatherbell, Tropicaltidbits, Stormvista. I notice this site even has a subscription option. But looking for some help/recommendations on which one might be best (most bang for the buck in terms of models, options, etc., quality of graphics, usage). Thanks!

I have both StormVista & Weatherbell Premium for a total of $40/month and both are well worth it. great models that you have access to and sites are reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 $500/year on largely redundant model graphics seems a little crazy. I bought a few months of weatherbell last winter and may do so again this year, but, truth be told, it's probably not worth the money. There are a million graphic sites for NCEP models, CMC and UKMET both have more-than-adequate free products online, and any ECMWF frame that's halfway worth looking at is posted and cross-posted to death.
