The Psuhoffman Storm

Recommended Posts

I never heard of so many obscure and never used numerical weather models until I joined Americanwx. Never had heard of the DGEX--obvious why there. The CRAS--what is that?

a snow weenie's last hope

it scored a coup of sorts last year on 1/30 when it was the only model with some decent precip run after run

ultimately, we received 5-6"

it now has an unmovable spot in our hearts

fwiw on his FB page, DT says the GFS solution is absurd. yes i have no life. i'm sitting at home on a Friday night hanging out on Facebook. arrowheadsmiley.png

But see, the ironic thing is that you're saying this to a bunch of other people sitting at home on a Friday night reading a weather board...

EDIT: Perhaps even more ironic is that DT is updating his facebook page sitting at home on a Friday night as you wrote that...:lol:

Well, the trend on the GFS is undeniable..it is creeping north, but at the same time, the GFS is an outlier with this Miller Bish look.

Like Ji pointed out, on the NAM at 84, the storm is just starting to get together and on the GFS the thing is about over.

The GFS is keying completely on the first vort, with very little energy coming in behind it and so it just races that east and develops it but without much digging. The other models are diving a second vort in behind it and digging the trough and that leads to the more amplified and southern solutions. Right now it really is just the GFS showing this idea so I am not too concerned yet. Of course we do not have the rest of the 0z guidance yet.

The CRAS is a POS model that always amplifies the storm to biblical proportions. It is basically an automated weather porn generator.

another word for CRAS is CRAP

LOL, thanks for the explanations. The highlighted gave me a good chuckle.

Moments like this really put into perspective the mini-break down on the Eastern Board on the evening of Feb. 3, Thursday, when either the NAM or GFS had a mini hiccup and shifted the band of 2' + plus precip south from directly over DC to somewhere near Fredericksburg and everyone went crazy for a few minutes thinking their snowfall totals may be 15 inches instead of 30.
