As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

I know folks love looking at and posting about any model than can get their hands on, but I'm surprised by the amount of posts about the Reggie, the ICON, and yes even the global Canadian!  Reggie will every once in a great while hit an event, but it is far from a consistently correct model.  Decision makers never sit there and say, I can't wait to see the Reggie, ICON or the Canadian before I lock in my final forecast.

Reggie has been more consistent, you have to consider it an option.  Euro and GFS flip flopping while Reggie has been amped, wouldn’t be smart to ignore it.

It's interesting how the low in a lot of the flat versions during the prior consternation ...were detonating out along the right exit region (outer S side of the purple streak), but as this came thru the last 36 hours ...gradually the modeled low has migrated under that streak.  It could continue across and end up on the polar side of that sucker.  There's some feedbacks tho - where the lower level thickness gradient is packed, that's usually where the low tracks.

My guess is they would not be viewed as much if they weren’t coming out early in the cycle. If they were late like the JMA or NAVGEM, they’d be relegated to similar status. Canadian might be a little more useful but not by a lot. 

Agree... A degree of my post was a bit in jest; I fully understand folks looking at as much info as possible, and looking for trends; once inside 36 hours, I also sneak a peak at the reggie during really big potential events in case a radically different solution points to a red flag...

Walt Drag frequently mentions he doesn’t consider winter storms unless the GGEM shows it.  It’s one of his benchmark models and the RGEM is the best Meso model we have so I don’t understand this post at all.  GFS is the worst model we have and it’s not close
