Cuteirishgirl25 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 That’s always a possibility, however, as I said, all the models are garbage, can’t trust any one of them. They completely ruined the Euro when they updated years ago, The GFS is no better then throwing darts at a dart board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a consistent trend towards getting a more favorable pattern to unload some good cold into Canada. This is something we've lacked big time the last few years. Regardless of what happens with these waves this week or any subsequent "winter" threat over the next 2-3 weeks...we're making subtle trends towards more favorable times ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I think of Tewksbury I am reminded of the commercials during Bruins games in the 70s. “Hi this is Jim Pierce of Jim Pierce Ford World in Tewksbury”.

Snowcrazed71 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Dare I say this, we're leaving around 1:00 in the morning on Wednesday, so I hope if we can get a window as we drive from Connecticut up to Quebec City. Watch ys get this storm now ( although I'm all for it if it just waits until we get up there and then does its thing ). Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be on its own with that idea for the most part since yesterday. Though there’s been a very small number of EPS members that try to show it too. My problem with it is the wave spacing. There's definitely some torque robbing going on there between it and ...whatever the 4th ultimately does to make us think things will work out better while it's not lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 It’s frustrating that the more frequent updates of models have disrupted apparent biases and consistency, but without question IMO they are still an enormously valuable and reliable tool. We wouldn’t be running to watch and do analysis of (some of) them every six hours if their skill was little more than a coin flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their skill is definitely superior to what it was during the glory days of the euro…the problem is the Euro isn’t like 2 tiers above the closest competitors anymore so now we actually have to try and figure out which model is most correct. Prior, we could just sort of hug the euro inside of 108 hours and cruise to success. There were certain times I did not trust the euro back then…it wasn’t as good with CAD back then as it became later on (I tossed it in the trash prior to the Dec 2008 ice storm when it showed rain up to NH border in ORH county) and once in a while it wasnt great with rapidly deepening storms (ala 12/9/05 where it shat the bed) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Agreed they are very valuable…but to be honest, I think we’ve ultimately taken a step back with all the supposed updates and supposed improvements, than we were 5-8 yrs ago. Back when the Euro was king…most of the time we knew what we were gonna get(a good storm or not, not exact amounts of course) 3-4 days out. We don’t anymore. The last 2-3 yrs have been abismol at 24 hrs out. The Euro would lock on…and it was game over for the other junk, and they’d all trend to basically what the Euro had synoptically speaking.

I don’t know man, the garbage scenario was easily the most likely, just because the auto showers something half decent for one run doesn’t mean it was bad. We are talking 120+ hours out. if people took the cheese on that, it’s on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t be running to watch and do analysis of (some of) them every six hours if their skill was little more than a coin flip. I'm new to all of this and enjoy trying to parse information provided by the experienced meteorologists and hobbyists here. The abilities and reliability of the models is something that is very interesting to me. Trying to discern the line between models as a tool and the interpretation from the experts who use them. I tend to view things very black and white and expect hard and fast results from specific inputs but weather and forecasting certainly don't seem to work that way! I find it interesting that the experienced folks here can see biases and trends within the models that are counter to what the model is outputting. Why would this be? I'm assuming that those who provide input into the models development would see this too and attempt to correct it...? I don't know what that process is like and imagine it's arduous and involved. However, based on the responses above, it seems like something has changed in the models specifically. If it/they were previously more reliable with the data point inputs they were receiving, it shouldn't matter if temps are increasing, decreasing or other normal weather related impacts are changing if it was processing them correctly. It seems that these are very valuable tools but I'm curious about the reliability. @WinterWolf mentioned the "scores" = is this a self-assessing/ranking score for each model? Is there data showing how reliable a models forecasts are at X number of hours out from an event? Or not even an event per se, but any given moment in time? I'd love to know if there's a "cone of confidence" showing how far out from point zero in time that a models predictions go from 0% accurate to 99%/100% accurate.

dendrite Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 We all fall in love with the fancy hires QPF and clowns now at d5-7. The models are really damn impressive. As the decades go by our expectations change and we demand more from them and want specific deets many days out. I think many of us forget what they were like in 2010 or 2000. They've missed plenty of storms in the past. Heck I remember when the euro was gaining its king status back when it only ran once per day, most of us did not get to see QPF, and we basically forecasted using H5-7-85 and 2m/1000mb. We were toggling coarse SLP contours on unisys. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite obvious to me models were better back then, but why don't they either go back to them or tweak the ones they have to make them like they were? Would they deny that the models are worse now than they used to be? What benefit is there to providing a frcst based on models that goes back and forth sometimes within <48hr? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
