I’m struggling to remember a storm where guidance bounced around so much. Feels like every single run presents a different solution even while the event is unfolding in front of us.

The Euro struggled with this one big time.  I think the GFS and GFS Para did better. 

I think we should wait until the storm is finally done before analyzing guidance performance.  Guidance typically struggles more in Ninas than in Ninos.  Miller B's are also notoriously more difficult.  

From the point of view of sensible weather (snowfall) that we all care about, the GFS bros did do quite well if you look back over the last week.  They were consistently showing snow maxes to our north.  Now whether that was "right for the wrong reason" or not, that's worth a deeper look later this week.

Yeah, you're correct about waiting for sure.  I just remember checking the para and it was consistently targeting the NY area while the Euro had us worried about suppression.

 

BTW radar kinda looks promising right now.  Really looks like a band is trying to form from DC north.

Very nicely written.   But...what are the odds for some over-achieving accum. during the next phase of this departing gentle "beast?"
