Yes. We can’t have a monster trough neutrally tilted in the Rockies. Even all this blocking probably just gives us maybe a chance at brief front end frozen with that look. It’s got to be a weaker shortwave so it can slide under the block and amplify on the coast. Like the GEFS and GGEM.

If I want one model to have to be “over amped” it is the euro. Just sayin.

Ops seem to want to slow the vorts down and amp them, while many ensemble members kick them out faster and less amped.

I'm not saying the ops are right, still should follow the ens for now. But what has been the tendency out West all season? That's all I'm gonna say on the matter.

Could be that the models are underestimating the block and or overinitializing current conditions with the old pattern still in place.

Now you're talking.  Nah, he put me on tilt.  He thinks being an asshole is edgy.

But as an aside, this new flower I got.....<chef's kiss>.  If I don't have snow, I'll always have the devil's lettuce.

if you guys want to track a storm from 10-15 days out, this comes with the territory. not sure what else to tell you. storms don’t stay in the bullseye on every OP run for 20-40 runs straight

Thank you. I get people are snow starved but FFS, if folks can’t handle the run to run fluctuations on OPs, stop tracking 8-15 day threats 4x a day. We’re talking day 1 stuff here; not living and dying by OP runs and controls at long range, or getting mad at a 240+ hour clown maps.

There is NO world where the euro, Canadian, gfs or any other model’s OP (at long range) shows a consistent solution. The fact that the EPS / GEPS have held strong and the GEFS has trended in their direction is all we need to know. It takes very small changes up top to completely change the outcome of an OP run. The difference between a bomb off the coast or a bomb running through PA is noise at range on an OP.

IF the ensembles start trending the wrong way and deterministic players start looking unfavorable, THEN we can start worrying. Considering how complex the setup is, the consistency of the EPS & GEPS has been pretty remarkable.

Breathe y’all.

I think after a season of futility and coastals trending to cutters at this range, the debbing can be expected. We do have some different players up top so we wait and see if this will be any different

Agreed.  I'm just giving the info not saying I agree with it or jumping with it.  I think we have to wait until probably Sunday to get a feel of where this is going

Like you predicted, everyone is loosing their heads over a OP run at range. Very interested to see the EPS. If it is similar to the GFS/GEPS disagreement, I feel we are still in good shape.

Expand  

It depends how you define "good shape"...If I have elevation and live in NW MD or South Central PA, I'm optimistic and following closely...You live in Lewes DE according to your tag...good luck getting snow even if its a solid coastal track. Its going to be really difficult for the low lands to pull something off snow wise.
