Germanweenie Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 15 minutes ago, mreaves said: Germanweenie eh? Do you run the ICON out of your basement? Haha yup. It actually seems to perform quite well over in Europe. Was in the Alps last winter during an epic 2week period with 15' of snow. But snow events are very different compared to the US / East Coast. More of a sustained/constant NW flow that pushes cold moisture against the alps for days and weeks at a time. Gets really interesting with blockage/upslope ("Staueffekte"), sometimes some areas get 5' while 5 miles south it's nothing. Soundings (upper level winds) tell you how far "in" the snow will make it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually we just hand out weenies, but you're german so here's a frankfurter. I thought about it but was worried that most won't pick up on Germanfrankfurter. Not sure it's a thing here, alongside the Wiener and Hamburger. I grew up close to Frankfurt, so there's that. Anyways, don't mean to derail/hijack this thread...back to being a silent observer.

TalcottWx Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 4 hours ago, jbenedet said: I know you’re being facetious here but I think many are confused...And this point is important enough to elaborate on...Forecasting is an art and an independent skill that can be developed. Some are much better at it than others. Dare I say there are many “professional meteorologists” out there who are terrible forecasters. A major contributor to this is atmospheric sci programs and the NWS are not filtering candidates based on forecasting skills/ability, but I digress.... Models are built based on scientific theory, but the inherent uncertainties within the models —chaos and complexity—require the art of forecasting to produce accurate —or at least better than consensus— forecasts. What a post. Cheers. Hear this a lot from some of the best Mets around, behind closed doors. It's nice to see some acknowledge it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning on the pessimistic side. Hope for flakes at the end. A coating or more is a bonus. I'll be happy up here if we get a coating.
