I'm no expert on this topic, but he mentions that this isn't a supressive look for us, and history tells us that this system should favor the N/W crew.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic, also not very knowledgeable but in living here my whole life I’ve never seen an outcome like this where the south gets jacked and the storm totally goes out to sea. Miss us, than hit New England and New York sure… but totally out to see…It’s strange…

Every storm has deamplified this winter as the event nears. It happens. Some years we get like 09-10 everything juiced up last minute.

But in this case though...isn't the H5 setup different than the other mire sliderish waves we've had? Or...has there been something this winter that has caused said deamplification tendency?

Models aren’t the issue, it’s people trusting OP models outside 120 hours. Yesterday got us under that mark and boom they all started converging last night. They still identified the threat 200+ hours out.


.

So it’s trusting the provided info that’s the problem? It’s provided but not to be considered? 

I dont agree.  Many models showed 20” for many runs. Then in the blink of an eye it’s gone.  That’s not science.  
NHC Never predicts a category 1 hitting Miami and we end up with a Cat  3 in Daytona .  They don’t then excuse themselves with how complicated it all is.

If models only went out to 120 hours and beyond that we only used ensembles your opinion would be a lot different

Snow storm are definitely one of the hardest things to predict. Literally everything has to go right. Need right temps at surface and uppers, need the right track, need every piece of energy at h5 to line up right.

Agree that the 12z isnt really all that far off from something great. Still time for oscillation.

Also...LWX disco earlier today discussed how AIFS picked up on the OP trends earlier, but that it was starting to settle in. What is it showing now? 

At 96 hours the average NHC forecast error for hurricanes is 150 ish miles.   There is plenty of room for this to hit us big time still.

Why isn't this making sense? Have we ever had a potential fail like this before? Since I've been on this board (not long--11 years, lol), every storm that hasn't worked out has had a reason. This would be the first one that doesn't and that's even more annoying.

Someone made a sort of new  suggestion that Nothing. actually falls apart at the last minute .  All the information and parameter possibilities were evidenced all along it’s just that models can’t correctly identify it. Hurricanes almost shit  simple to predict accurately and winter storms around here mostly not.

Oh good.  You’re back with your incessant 3rd grade understanding of NWP.

Amen. And also. NHC does a great job, but there's a cone for a reason. Clearly we need to think about something similar for winter storms.

Wow a voice of reason identifying need for change .  I guess it’s up to two now.
