colonelaureliano1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Models by no means did a "good job portraying the difficult setup in this one." Every storm has a cutoff and every storm has a certain degree of uncertainty or complexity. But I've been on these boards for a very long time and this is one of the worst misses for a wide swath of the region I can remember. Respectfully on most model runs there was a very hard line between decent snow and nothing it was just the placement that was unknown. Not that it matters but I’ve been around since the old forum as well and this one didn’t feel like nearly as big a miss as some of the heartbreakers in the past. If I’m wrong I’m wrong *shrug*Moderate sleet at BWI. Sticking instantly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
