The model consistency at this range is great.

Usually it's the Euro showing a good track, the Canadian

showing something cutting to Toronto & the GFS taking the

Low to Bermuda. Then usually they all come around to a solution

Close the the Euro within 48 hours of the event.

Today, we have none of that insanity.

Hopefully our only question is how much snow.

Here's to great 0z model suite!

Time to go checkout the MA thread ....

Ruh roh.....

 

Been in the back of my mind as much as suppression.  All we know is...we have a storm, but where it ends up aint likely where models show it now (and it pains me to say that btw...cause I really really........really like what they showed us today.

unfortunately, there are a lot more of those fb/made up dot com places if this one is removed. and one of the big reasons why we continue to have them is that, imho, the weather enterprise is continuing its policy of not employing anywhere enough graduates and enough met forecasters in general. and with the emphasis these days in the private industry on "how much clickbait can you generate to make it worthwhile to hire you" of "how many IT or other personnel can you do the jobs for while trying to concentrate on making a good forecast" not "can you actually forecast well and in a professional manner"; unfortunately these type of places will continue to flourish at a time when we need to increase credibility with the public via WRN, not dilute it further. If these people had some inkling of how professional forecasting was supposed to be done, then I don't think we'd have anywhere near the credibility issue that we do have now. But unfortunately, that type of message won't get through the AMS or NWA leadership because it might actually cost companies money to go more for quality than quantity, and it would mean the NWS offices might actually become fully staffed, not down 1-2 per office even after the latest hiring binge.

 

that all being said and back to the storm in hand, it is starting to look a bit more consistent run to run on this thing, with the GFS for some reason continuing to generate some high-power meso band along US-11/I-81 on the front side, almost disregarding the poconos topographically. even with the 500 low seeming to set up some enhanced banding on the rim of the cold core, i just don't know how the poconos don't get it a lot worse than Wilkes Barre-Scranton-Bloomsburg with that setup.
