Add a little dusting in the glaze and it’s better than anything we’ve seen in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I guess I remain stunned at how some people view long range guidance. I would have thought we were all on board that from 5-7 days out the long range models in winter are useful for getting a general idea of big features - upper air patterns, the possibility of storminess, the availability of cold. From 5-7 days ahead of today at least the Euro was advertising the possibility of a storm along the east coast, and that it might pack a punch. It is beyond strange to me that anyone would say that was a failure because the blob of insane snow ended up 150 miles from our area. The fact that it nailed that there was a storm in this window AND that the storm would have an impact is really quite a feat. Even from 3-4 days out when the GFS and CMC began to catch on the blob moved around - which makes sense given the complexity of the set-up. But for people to spend time in the main thread being mad online and claiming that one model blows or another model blows because it didn't exactly put the conditions of a complex system over their neighborhood five days out is crazy to me. Especially if they carry a certain color tag. If this was summer and one model showed a week out highs for the area at 107, I would assume that people would raise an eyebrow and note that big heat looks like a possibility. Then, when a week passes and the high is "only" 101, I don't recall people dunking on the model for being insanely wrong. Maybe this same kind of craziness arises around tropical systems, I don't follow those as closely, But I would presume that a week out if a model is able to successfully show a storm in a general area and there ends up actually being a storm in the general area a week later, that's a pretty good heads up. In any event, congrats to our mets on this board who work on modeling the atmosphere. It is pretty damn impressive work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next You still have time to haul it NNE before it's too late and conditions get too treacherous. Get going now. We need to see pictures of you standing in your street in front of your house surrounded by complete and blinding whiteness pretending that you have been reaped and gone to snow paradise.

North Balti Zen Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Find you something in life that makes you as happy as a snowed over parking lot that is empty and crusted with ice like a skating rink and a bright orange frisbee that slides forever and ever like it does a yellow lab. What a great walk just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I am guessing if we do get some higher winds that there will be branches and limbs down at spots in my part of the city. I can hear the creaking of the branches now when I step outside - pretty good encasement of snow and ice on limbs here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
