Shows the NAM phase shift problem over the US I have talked about in many forums. I would give the NAM a less than 5% chance of verifying. It will catch up to the GFS on speed with each run.

I would agree. Is the GFS the fastest model in terms of speed with the system hence less snowfall over a general area? I see the 12Z run pumps out 18-20" of snow over my area through 120 hours. Don't you think that seems like a bit much?

Something like that. This one isn't producing any wintry precip south of I-80 or I-70, etc....second system or not. Time to move on to the next false hope...

I dunno, I wouldn't rule out a quick changeover to something, somewhere as the cold air may slam eastward quick enough that it outruns the end of the precip.

I suppose it is possible...but I hate relying on the GFS and its cold bias to be exact with the speed and "intensity" of the cold. Not to mention timing it right with any leftover/lagging precipitation. I hope it happens though...

Us North of 80 will still be watching, and honestly there has been a slight trend towards more energy being left behind in the southwest. I think its something to monitor even down in LAF where the model haterade is out tonight it seems.

I wouldn't rely on the GFS either, ride the GGEM.

something similar happened a decade or so ago for our area...

the front was supposed to go flying threw..and it did...and left over energy formed an impulse and the front slowed, so precip literally stopped progressing and started to train over us...kinda like the gem is starting to show and at the end we ended up with 3-4 inches of snow.

If it were to happen, it would probably be somewhere in the Kentucky/Indiana/Ohio area and it would probably be pretty brief, unless things change.

Wx models, love'em or hate'em. It's what we do. But hey I'm just making a call, that's all. We'll see I guess...if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
