ORH_wxman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 GGEM looks worse too...and both GGEM and GFS are because of more interaction with the ULL to the northeast. Exactly the thing we did not want to see. We want more spacing between those two....if the ULL was a bit closer by, then you could try and phase it stronger and probably produce a good event, but it's that awkward distance where that isn't really going to happen and it just ends up mucking up the storm. NAM trended the right way, but I believe the global trend over the post-48 hour NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope folks are not 'disappointed' If so, it is because they may not be 'listening to the reasons' in the first place, that (I and probably others) are pointing out about this thing. Otherwise, these solutions would NOT disappoint, merely be expected. Unless ...folks are just hoping? or something - if so... if wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Now to sound like a hypocritical d-bag: the NAM solution in total rattles around a CCB that misses by a PH. It's interesting .. because that evolution has 0 margin for error there; if that ever got on shore it would be a 33 F low visibility 'chute fest. Of course the NAM of old used to have a pretty obvious NW bias beyond 60 hours with W. Atlantic lows ... maybe that's all this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious your thoughts on the NAM/RGEM vs the globals. The mesoscale models have managed a few coups of late. Seems like all of us struggle with the transition from the global models to mesoscale models in the ~24 hour window before an event begins.

jbenedet Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I thought you were leaving coastalwx. Go post that in banter. I'm sorry you're still emotional and bitter about your blizz fail-- the blizzard that went from 2' at 60 hr to mostly rain at time zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As this has been relaying off the Pacific up there we've seen this morph/transition into more a nuisance scenario. Some of that is because the wave strength is mechanically not sufficient to slow the field down by carving out a lower latitude at every point as it arrives, leaving it up to (as you noticed) some interaction with the lingering/recent trough exit up there in eastern Canada. there's time for other events... Next week may still be interesting... if this one doesn't miracle first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like all of us struggle with the transition from the global models to mesoscale models in the ~24 hour window before an event begins. https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/49832-the-blizzard-of-the-ides-2017-observation-time/?do=findComment&comment=4526148 I made a couple posts starting there, the next one was on the next page I believe. The models seemed to struggle with the convection in this past storm. There was a lot of it...like tons of it actually. Way more than usual. I always hate trying to pick models when there's an anomalous amount of convection because sometimes it is hard to parse between reality and convective fantasy on the models. I do think you have to weight the non-hydrostatic models a little more than usual in those storms. I think the RGEM being really far west was a definite flag...esp when it didn't come eastward once it got to like 30-36 hours...it kept going west actually until it finally overtrended a smidge (took low over BOS) and then ticked back slightly east to near the final track just SE of BOS-PVD line. RGEM doesn't have a huge bias of over-amping storms like the NAM or even the Ukie sometimes does...and the Ukie had a very west track too. So to me, the RGEM was pretty key. Some of those models were a little too warm up this way...not much mixing ever happened beyond 128 and N of pike...but everything else was pretty accurate. They actually might not have been warm enough down near NYC where the warm tongue was really strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAR ensemble did OK but was still too high on the southern flank with snow totals. Biggest issue I believe was the fact our SLR were so abysmal... super dense/small snowfalkes with a dried out SGZ. 6.4:1 here in my backyard. Man snow.
