psuhoffman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I’m ok with the better models showing the better outcomes lol. The GFS seems to have fallen even more behind than it was after the ggem and euro made major core upgrades and then issued multiple updates to fine tune the new systems. We criticized the euro for its inconsistency after the initial core upgrade but subsequent fixes have made it significantly better and the gfs meanwhile doesn’t seem to have kept up in the last 5 years. The end result is the gfs is almost getting to the point of being relegated to “just for amusement” territory in my mind.

dallen7908 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 2 hours ago, psuhoffman said: They forecasted almost exactly what happened. There were a few localized spots in MD that jacked and got a few inches over the range but overall they nailed it. And there was a statement out specifying 2” per hour rates during rush hour! People made really bad decisions and then looked for someone else to blame “why didn’t you stop me” which isn’t uncommon unfortunately I was in Seattle for the AMS meeting that week and recall that one of the lead CWG writers missed at least a half-day of the meeting because of the storm.

And of course they keep changing with each run. There's gotta be a flush hit run coming at some point...right? Generally a sign of a major pattern change when we see this type of disagreement.

We were predicted to get frigid once before and we got quite cold instead so let’s see if this batch hits us right on. It looks like rollover cold which puts Dakotas at -30 for lows and is modified by about 30 when it gets here but that would still be extremely cold here, highs 15-20 and lows 0 to 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVscotch Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Crazy cool how the NAO has continued to prove more negative as we get closer in time and now more blocking showing up around Greenland on all models so far for 12z. The last few days it has seemed like we were losing the NAO to get EPO ridging but now maybe some NAO help too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gem has been very inconsistent in the longer range for a while, BUT not with this storm. That's 3 runs in a row showing the storm, twice as snow and once as rain. At that range, that's a very decent signal for something other than cold and dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even want to think about how cold that would be, a reprise of Feb 2022 I hope not. We lost all our plants and I was hauling water like an Oklahoma Sooner for days.
