I do agree that for a mean it would be a bit more tricky. It's already a lower resolution run, so calculating a Kuchera ratio is based on a level of detail and precision that doesn't make sense for ensembles. The point of the ensembles is to show the big picture, especially more than a few days away when things are too uncertain to rely on just the operational run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teacher pounded into our brains to NEVER forget the "dx" in an integral and to NEVER forget to add the constant in the solution of an indefinite integral! He always said, before an exam, "remember...minus 1/2 point for every missed 'dx' and every missed '+ C' "!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all track the low somewhere through central or eastern NC and at our latitude between the Delmarva and Dulles. For 120 hours away that’s remarkably narrow goalposts imo. It’s just that we’re on a razors edge between a significant snowstorm or something less impactful. But 30 years ago we likely would be looking at goalposts between Indiana and Bermuda for the track at 5 days out! We’re now talking about details at day 5 we couldn’t imagine at day 2 when I first got into this game. howard violenty disagrees 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s happening physically is the storm is occluding and becoming vertically stacked as it moves through VA. I'll always root for the eye of a stacked low to pass over my house. Literally clearish skies. Lol. Would be at night tho unless I'm bad at time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he does it’s State Colleges biggest snowstorm ever. Lol. But it is a good analog but so is an early Jan 94 storm and Jan 12 96 and Feb 14 and there was a storm in December 2012 somewhat similar and they all had slightly different end results. He chooses the one that gave him 28” of course lol. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GEFS would be a classic bomb for just about everyone in here. Except the Eastern Shore folks. Bob mentioned this earlier as a reminder…the GFS was upgraded, the GEFS was not. High Risk mentioned the possible implications yesterday. With that said, the mock up track PSU drew makes more sense given other features of the storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeblue219 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Quick question - at what stage do the ensemble means perform the averaging? Is it done at a low level, averaging pressures and temperatures and then generating output products? Or is it at the very end, averaging (for example) every output snowfall together?

Today the storm would have been on the very last day of that forecast. How seriously did anyone take the day 5 of that thing? Would we have dreamed of discussing the meso scale details we are right now? Yes maybe this should temper our enthusiasm some but my real point is to be amazed and how far we’ve come! I used to live and die by that thing all winter long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure snowfall maps are made with mean at the very end. This is why you’ll sometimes see a mean of 1” snowfall when 1 member has a blizzard but the others have 45 degrees and sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW slightly east of 12z and less ridging and lower heights in front of it. High is slightly south. Slight improvements from what I can see. Obviously though we don’t know about the most important part which is the phase that happens later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
