It’s odd though as most of that are the night time lows. Daytime averages probably haven’t been too far off the Mark but I would wage the nights are most of that 7.5 positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Oh, look at that. The temperatures over performed today. Shocker. Models need to be programmed to take into consideration what seems to be a rapidly warming climate. Snow is melting one day after it falls again...still a couple inches though. Thankfully and hopefully we get a good little thump tomorrow to make it a super wintry weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully and hopefully we get a good little thump tomorrow to make it a super wintry weekend. That’s my biggest beef with the models. They don’t learn. Daytime high temps are always too low and snowfall is always too high. As soon as AI gets integrated into these things we’ll see rapid improvement. We’ll also be really disappointed with accurate snowfall maps- cut them in half or so. These models readily lend themselves to AI corrections. It would only take a season or two. Tons of data is available. In fact, they could run them historically and have corrections built-in within hours. I wonder if there’s a way to monetize that because it’s going to be drastic. Probably already occurring in the commodities hedge fund computers. Big money in oil futures based on temp forecasts. I’ve always thought this forum could beat that market.

As we all are aware (I think), wx models are deterministic algos based on known physical properties, rules, and physical-mathematical relationships/laws...they are not sentient or machine learning beings (Replicants!). Pretty sure I would not want some sort of "learning bias" interjected...as it would invariably be highly dependent on a set of predetermined instructions (temp has been higher/lower than model output for the last x of y runs...so let's adjust...). Not sure where you would be going with this other than creating Skynet for weather? Having said that, if u do create Skynet I'd like to get in on the ground floor like the Winklevoss twins did with Bitcoin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 New map.. If some of guidance is correct with a multi lake connection overnight and favorable 270-280 flow then these numbers may be a little to low...Both "notable" events this year they had pulaski at about half of what actually verified.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinksnow18 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yeah I saw it. I didn’t think anything could be worse than the last 3 weeks but the next 2 look just as boring. If we don’t get any snowfall we probably won’t see much if any at the lower elevations into February. At least the ground will freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the ground will freeze. GFS is in suppression mode. We've seen it before many times over the years. If other models join it for the mon/tues system, I'll take the GFS more seriously. Until then...I wouldn't get ratchet over the prospects next 2 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGM Blizzard Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Anyone know what's up with the GFS parallel not loading completely or at all for certain runs over past few days? Is it an issue with pivotal weather site or is it the model itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bumble Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Wonder if we’ll see a broad area of light snow develop across the Niagara Frontier tonight as the cold front approaches. Upstream radars are fairly active over southern Ontario. Probably won’t amount to more than an inch or 2, but anything is welcome at this point IMBY to cover the grass again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Seriously, HRRR?? This model is like the GFS of short-range models. Night and day from one run to the next. Ok...so the band...just doesn't happen?? 18Z vs. 00Z at same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
