I don’t use models for predictions of low pressure systems in the winter. If I see a 1030 high on southern Hudson Bay predicted 5-7 days out I know from experience that will mostly come true because it mostly has. Not the same at all for storms. I think we are doing better now by explaining things back and forth and not arguing and we often conclude the same things between us but via different methods. Thanks I agree this is more productive discourse. Just so you know, honestly, I was just trying to make a light hearted joke yesterday and you went off. I realize we have had tense exchanges in the past so I will admit that I probably should not have tried to joke around, but it was not meant to start a nuclear exchange. Honest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 At 168 hours I really thought the OP euro was going to phase the left over S stream energy and the N stream and bring a storm up the coast, but the flow was a bit progressive i suppose. The storm on the GFS was induced by the N stream diving down since there was no left over S energy. Long way to go to figure that one out. .

I bet back in 2014 and 2015 the spread would have been even worse...so bad actually that we had no clue there was even this kind of potential at these ranges... none of our snow those years was really clear on guidance past about 72 hours. These types of patterns are not good for long lead tracking. The issue I think now is the guidance is better so we actually do have some idea what the period will look like and the threats...so now its frustrating that these waves move around every run and model to model...because we want some clarity. 10 years ago we would have no idea at all what was coming and what the specific threats were so we didn't get bothered by the crazy swings at 100+ hours. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI Euro has been solid as a rock for Sunday. Kind of riding that as my expectation - it's an outcome which would make everyone happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 To put this in perspective, I remember one of the events in early Feb 2014 I was up in Pine Gove PA that year...but still participating in this forum, and at about 72 hours out you were all rooting for a north trend on a wave that was supposed to be suppressed south of you...and it ended up giving me 8" of snow up in central PA and was mostly rain for DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1 minute ago, Allsnow said: EPS has really been meh with the threat Sunday Take this FWIW but its a pretty discreet piece of energy and perhaps the kind of thing the ensembles would struggle to pick up on. At least historically this is true but I am not as familiar with the new higher resolution EPS system since the upgrade. Haven't had a ton of test cases like this yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 minutes ago, Allsnow said: EPS has really been meh with the threat Sunday Seems the difference between the dry solutions and wet ones are the extent of the eastward progress of the cold. Gem, for example, has the least eastward progression and the strongest storm, albeit too far west outside the foothills and west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point, the shortwave is sort of embedded in the flow. Makes sense lower resolution ensembles may have issues with it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 @WEATHER53 and btw I did escalate it once it started down that path, I admit and take responsibility for that. I won't do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
