Welcome to the banter thread, an excellent place for a question like that. I think a lot has to do with your frame of reference. The upper level players have shifted a little south over the past 24 hrs, as has the southern extent of the storm.

Welcome indeed. I need to stay off Twitter. They say it's over. Gfs was right. I might blow a gasket. Lmao

Yeah, the 00z Euro basically shifted in such a way to make almost everyone happy.

 

 

One thing that may be going on is the actual players on the field have trended south while the models have sniffed out more precip on the northern extent of the precip shield -- I remember reading models generally have a bias to lower totals on the northern edge of the precip shield?

 

If so, it really does make everyone happy!

I'll gladly take a more southerly surface low, transfer location and ULL track and give the MA more precip than they had at 12z. I'll take my chances with a deform band setting up shop somewhere near me after an already big thump of precip with what is shown on the NAV and Euro.

I don't get his posts? 

 

 

The only major model that was south, the European, has made a significant shift to the North at 00z. Bringing much more confidence to the forecast for the Friday-Sunday Blizzard. In my opinion expect slight nudges to the north to continue.

It's north as it pertains to his subscribers in the NE as it goes up the coast a bit more and the precip shield is more expansive..  But not N for us.

Yeah , the pages of Euro pbp from last nights run almost seemed orgasmic!? Now it sucked and GSP says no ice or snow S of the NC line? Our local tv mets are honking more snow and ice now for Friday night and Sat!? Seems like I'm in bizarro world!?

Yea I agree...it's somewhat confusing at times. What I've learned over the years on here is follow the model runs for trends in either direction. But stick with GSP for the real deal forecast. They won't change until a real consensus of the models occurs. They are right MOST of the time. If I see them start to honk their horns tomorrow then I'll get excited.

Sorry but who said the Euro sucked? :huh: I am not seeing that anywhere. GSP is just being conservative as they should be.

Jon. Said he didn't see all the hype and last nights run was worse that 12z

On another note, let's see how many HWO and AFD 's we can get on one page! :)

Christ on a pogo stick, some of you are more dense than I expected.

Pogo stick???lol that's funny right there!

Too bad the gfs runs 4 times a day to keep it stired up. Next couple of days will be both blissful and painful to read about.
