But how can this one trend better, though? It seems like more of a quick hitter...and it's not like we need it to trend souther...so where would the extra juice come from?

Yeah there’s a ceiling here given the setup, but again, so was the comparison I mentioned.

It will come from unpinning this thread and then re-pinning it. Pay attention, please.

I think the EPS 90th percentile does a good job at illustrating the possible ceiling. It's obviously fallible as the EPS run it's built on... it definitely did not nail the January storms that all trended up. But a look at the max with the "current" conditions.

Icon uses euro parts. It’s beating the gfs

Half joking... the dirty secret of weather forecasting and this hobby may be that the GFS is probably worse than the EURO, UKIE, CMC, ICON... maybe even some of the other models from Asia that really get no looks from us because the graphical outputs are horrible. Yet since it's the American flagship it gets the most if not the second most attention.

I was also half joking, but it's true that the GFS isn't doing much better either. Maybe even worse than the ICON. 

If the GFS had support from other models, then yeah there's some credibility, but if it's alone it should be tossed. Even if it shows a snowstorm.

Would be happier if we could get slightly colder temps. Cities float around 32/33. Northern/western areas 29/30.

If we can keep moistening up that would help.

Let's see if we can add 0.25" QPF regionwide and drop temps by 2 to 4 degrees.
