I seriously can't believe the progression of this overall storm..from EURO SUPER BOMB 6 days in a row, to 400 miles OTS with all models lately, and now back to this.... totally unreal. I would not want to be a Forecaster this week.

This seriously has to be a great case study when all is said and done.

I am pretty much speechless at this point. After completely giving up on this storm after yesterday's 12z runs, I have to say that I have never seen such an amazing turnaround on the models since I began following them. Just incredible and exhilarating to say the least, and it will make me much more reluctant to be so quick to give up on future storms.

Merry Christmas to everyone, and here's hoping that by this time in two days we'll all be getting buried. :thumbsup:

Just FWIW (and that's a big FWIW), the 00Z GFS gives KSWF (Newburgh, NY) 31.2" in 24 hours, 11.0" of which falls in a 3 hour period. (And that wasn't even the 'zone omega' algorithm, which when takin the forecasted omega into account, calculated nearly 50.0" :wacko:).

Hey - Can you post KPOU totals in the BUFKIT thread... Curious to see now you have mentioned KSWF.

Saw your blog Glenn, very well said. I explained this to my friends and relatives as well. This goes to show you that our models are far from perfect. As inconvenient as that seems now, it should be encouraging to aspiring/beginner meteorologists (such as myself) to know that there is still plenty of need to better understand certain physical processes in cyclogenesis and modeling.

What a nice xmas present! (even though I am Jewish haha) smile.gif

At what point do we stop looking at these models and go to purenowcastimg? I know NAM is considered the better "now" model by many, but when do the GFS, euro et al become pointless die to timing?

Never. Models get better and better as we get closer. Nothing is more accurate then a 0-6 hour model. Especially euro.
