GEFS mean is ominous

Let's be honest, the GFS is a hot occluded mess.

Man the GFS is epic for the Maine mtns. Holy sh*t. Congrats Ginxy and his brokeback ski trip.

Got that 2013 vibe heading into March. We will deal with a highly anomalous pattern, models will suck. Look at the animated DT PVU  pressure and wind and how that west wind abruptly turns east. Buckle up kids and for God's sake don't take anything the GFS puts out at the surface verbatim

Gotta go with those at this point obviously...good that they are tasty rather than not.

From what I'm seeing in this operational GFS cycle ... the thickness layout is getting mangled for cold air prior to the initial onset of the -NAO's effecting the circulation ... 

The mid levels have really ample mechanics for some fantastic slow moving Miller B'easts but ... the lax surface thicnkness gradients are normalizing the baroclinic zones too much for coherently focused surface lows...  This looks like a page out of any early April -NAO more so than March 1

Not to many folks would care to much for that 12z GFS run, Quite torchy.

Op runs have been that way for days - AN minima D1 thru D16 each time.

March 2010?

0.6" snow that month, with 28 days AN temps, month averaged 7.7° AN, milder than 2012.

In my younger years i would be tearing up the off trail back country with those totals.

Probably fighting your way thru/around bent-over trees and broken limbs, after all that paste.

Pine trees that look like they were 5' tall then you realize that was the top of a 20'....................

Sure, but I wouldn't feel any differently.

Check ensembles at this range...NAO still there?

Yep.

Cool.

Couldn't care less about the OP.

You care TOO much about it then. 

AND...nobody should care about gfs op solutions. Stick to eps until further notice.

Euro op suppresses verbatim, but still blows up a nice ocean storm. Let's see what the ensembles say...
