Yes No way it’s a b. It’s a c at best 

Yeah I'd give it a C. It has been cold with numerous snowfalls, but it's a little disappointing to be at slightly below normal snowfall. It could've been an excellent winter with the consistent below normal temps. We need a significant snowstorm to raise the grade to a B or higher.

That is jogging away at such a drastic rate that if it keeps up it could wrap around the globe in the remaining runs between now and Thursday and end up nailing us after all.

What do you mean jogging? It’s leaving Usain Bolt in the dust on its way east. 

I’d focus on ensembles for now and there’s still time for it to come back west but the rampaging Pacific jet has been the dominant theme this winter and ruined setup after setup. No one should be surprised if this ends up the same wasted potential.

This just isn't true at all. Every model but the GFS was showing a massive hit just last night. In fact, the CMC was a huge interior hit as well. Bad trends today but lets not act like there wasn't a near consensus of a major storm just 24 hours ago. I'm still not counting this thing out, we'll have to wait for this current storm to get out of the way then we'll get a better sampling of the next storm. I'm not going to discount it when most of the major models had a huge storm for a few days prior to this one.

100%... especially not convincing since I have yet to see the exact mechanisms that lead to the shift for more than 2 consecutive runs.  Current storm will loose interaction with the continent tomorrow afternoon.

I have almost 19” when my winter average is about 35”. It’s been a wintry month so I give it credit for that and the frequent cold but I can’t go higher than a C/C- when I’m at half my season snow average and there’s been so much potential flushed down the toilet. A quieter Pacific like we used to have and this would be a 50” winter.

The pac has def been a killer.  I was warning people last night then it was evident on the ensembles throughout yesterday even as the op runs were super amped. 

It's been a killer for years. Northern stream is too fast, unless that changes we're not going to get a classic coastal track.

If you’re still engaged so am I! 

The whiplash is incoming.   Im in so much pain from puting the CG on a hip tow solo today that I can't sleep.  May as well tow the line with the incoming storm threat.  I've read this book a few hundred times.  I'm still confident that the king will bring this back in the next 18 hours.

 I screenshot this to let all of those waving the white flag!

Good on you!  Most would fear being labeled as a wishcaster, or delusional... or desperate... lol

 

I just have a difficult time believing that all models would suddenly and accurately find consensus at this lead time before the cirrent storm has left the region.   Generally, this (in my experience planning work on the water,) has resulted from similar data sets being ingested into all models.  It's not to say they are wrong, but it's a bit peculiar this far out.

Good god... only a 300 mile jump.  

 Makes me question this trend. Models don’t jump hundreds of miles in a couple hours. Not saying it’s wrong just odd and hopefully them overreacting going from one extreme to other

Yeah ok that’s not a trend that’s more like a whiplash

would really like to know which gathered data that was put into the latest model runs caused these drastic shifts to the east
