CoastalWx Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The 00z GFS I think from yesterday had the 700 low closing off NE of IZG. The euro had it east near PWM where it happened. I think the euro in the time of need really did well in maine. The GFS crapped itself in the last 36 hrs. Euro in the 2-3 days prior was too far west.

Basically, in general, one should expect the NAM to be further NW than the globals. If it isn't it can sometimes be used as a red flag that the globals are too far SE. Without the midlevel support for NH we should have known better. SW ME jack was a result of a lot of things... Low level forcing, mid level, frigging everything.

No model is going to get every detail perfectly right. They're just guidance. The euro had the best clue as to how the system was going to evolve...it was just a little too far west. Unfortunately for me that was the difference between 8" and 18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the GFS only for track/intensity, UL development etc. Using it explicitly to determined RN/SN/mix line and snow totals in marginal setups is an absolute no-no.

I guess we can debate "DE maine" but I was pretty well set on this being east of Portland ME--but definitely not east of Bangor's longitude. I noticed pretty quickly that the mesos were having this system bend back wayyy to quickly, based on the upper levels. The track from CC to east of Portland always made most sense to me.

But in general, I liked the WPC's forecast, and that turned out to be a very good one for track/intensity. That evolution also said (implicitly) that the northwest folks were out of the game for big snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised how much PWM ended up with. Not sure down by the water, but up here at work, near Riverside golf course, looks like 8-9". Wonder what PWMan got as he was raining till ~9pm.
