We can’t even do cold Rainers anymore. BOX talking humid

Round 2 (Thursday night into Friday): Soaking rain with potential

  thunder. After a mild & muggy start, falling temperatures through
  the day. M

 I would enjoy a 96 style cutter. It’s been boring AF.

I’d just like to understand why this isn’t shearing like you guys thought yesterday  it would. Something is going on this winter that models and people just aren’t seeing

I really think there’s a correlation to seasonal snowfall and people’s opinion of how the models are doing.  The models weren’t great in 2015 with a lot of late changes (favorable to E.NE) and grossly under-estimated a couple of those storms... but no one was complaining about them then.  

The problem right now is folks are grasping onto low probability day 5 progs and it just builds into the frustration.  The models are the same tools we’ve been using for years. 

We’ve all shoveled an enormous amount of Day 5 snowfall over the past 5 years.  There were like 2-3 years there where I’d be in the jackpot at day 5 only to see another 12+ hit in SNE at game time.  I thought the models were terrible then, ha.  When mythical snow that hasn’t fallen gets taken away, we blame the models.

I get what you’re saying but, to me, it’s more so about good patterns on typically strong mid to long range models vaporizing before us which has increased/added the anxiety on each short to mid range event trending more unfavorably.

Kevin I think we all mentioned that the setup was tenuous. I even said yesterday that I wasn’t sure if it would be progressive given the overall H5 look. It still could be more progressive, I don’t know......but right now I’m not sure I would favor it.

This year you have to favor warmest and not snowy outcomes. What can go wrong does and outperforms itself. My point is there’s something globally/ atmosphericically this winter that all of us and modeling has missed or is missing.

What have they/we missed though?  Like missed as in we shouldn't even be entertaining thoughts of wintry weather and the models should never even show those day 5 solutions?

It's a winter with a mean western trough and good southeast ridging.  Occasionally we get a some confluence to the north that helps New England but by and far it's not a good overall pattern for deep winter in the east.

Yeah. It’s already a tricky setup when you have a western trough. Sometimes it’s oriented such that you cash in with SWFE, and sometimes it’s more of a deep trough that ejects enough s/w energy for cutters.

Ever the optimist.  Or a couple ticks the other way and we’re saying congrats PF and Dryslot.

I didn’t say I believed that’s what would happen. Just that it gets a lot more interesting if it does. 

If it trends the other way and goes warmer, it merely goes from meh to total snoozer.
