Misc Cold Season Complaining

Hey Jimmy, How much for me this time? You know I'm going to be the big winner when all is said and done! But seriously though you think it gets this far NW? I'm just hoping for a little snowy period, you know what I mean....
If we can’t get the gulf more involved your best shot at seeing a snow flurry are from the wind blown snow guns on top of Wolf Laurel. We are keeping the blind faith til the bitter end

Thank you Jim, that gives me so much hope when I had very little. ❄️ ⛄
 
Still don't think we know what this will really do yet, and I am happy to see the GFS and Canadian trends, but my gut tells me this will have a hard time coming NW enough to give my area anything much. I am happy for the coast and CAE, etc to get snow but dang it; I want it too. Yes I got about 1.5 inches of slop last week but that ain't enough. If the coast and CAE get dumped on and I get nothing or a dusting I am going to be upset. Being truthful; an inch or two would be nice but if CAE or CHS gets a foot I'll feel like I got tipped a quarter when the next waiter got a thrown a twenty.
 
We sure are great at trashing models that don't show what we want....meanwhile poor Brad P getting crucified for not hugging the GEM/GFS on twitter.
Its bc hes flip flopping imo.... Makes it seem like hes got a prerogative. The other day he said GFS was correct bc it had dry, and EURO was wrong bc it had the storm. Now hes flipped, thats my opinion anyway looks like hes cherry picking to keep conservative
 
Brad is good. Prob the best around here. I believe he’s good because he can separate what he wants to happen from what is most likely to happen. That’s a tough mental barrier there.
He is. He's got a method to the way he does things. His biggest weakness is the public though. He lets them get to him so much. The battle he tries to fight against all the people hyping things up etc is a losing one. He's even got well known mets contradicting what he's saying even in the Carolinas, so it's not like it's some random person on YT or tiktok. But I mean respect to him for trying to fight it lol. It's just a lost cause in my opinion. People are going to believe what they want to believe, and that goes with anything in life.
 
I'd be concerned if I was in a bullseye but I'd also be 40 more offshore. Feeling pretty good about this one, those N and NW precip expansions in the last 96 hours are delicious
If this is the one for the coast you just tip your cap and move on. Would be a tough pill to swallow but I think we will do ok

I have a feeling the last half decade or so has really jaded him into being this way. The people who flock to comment sections when a storm busts bad are louder than when the forecast misses in a positive way.
 
I asked ChatGPT to compare the models:

ModelTypical Use CasesStrengthsLimitations
ECMWFLarge-scale global forecastingMost accurate for storm tracks, jet streams, and precipitation.Computationally intensive, fewer updates.
GFSGlobal, especially North AmericaHigh frequency of updates, good global coverage.Slightly less accurate globally than ECMWF.
UKMORegional (Europe and surrounding)Detailed regional forecasting, strong in Europe.Lower resolution globally.
Canadian GEMNorth America, winter stormsStrong in snow/ice forecasts.Weaker in tropical or large-scale systems.
 
If this is the one for the coast you just tip your cap and move on. Would be a tough pill to swallow but I think we will do ok
Agreed. As long as we don't leave that shortwave behind we will be fine. The same models that were more progressive and SE (icon/ukmo) are the same way again. No 2 storms are the same but models make the same mistakes
