Hard to put stock in a model 12 hours behind.

 

       it's the next version of the GFS (implementation in June).     It's behind, because it doesn't have the same dedicated slot to run on the NCEP supercomputer that the operational run has.      It may end up being a crappy solution, but this 12z cycle used the same input data as the operational 12z GFS.

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out why we should care

It's simple.....if it shows a lot of snow....we care.  If not we toss and look for better solutions on other models.  Rule #1 in the snow weenie playbook.

Yeah I get that but data changes a good bit in 12 hours, and then that is magnified a great deal when you're looking 6 days ahead.

          I do get your point in that we've moved on past the 12z cycle by the time we are able to see this run.
