Kinda sucks when the rest of the SE gets nothing, thread is dead in between those 6 hour intervals
ICON definitely came in colder. It also quickly shears the energy out as it heads east.

Looks like nam. Ns stream wave is gonna shear out and press is to strong and flat out in front, seems to be the theme. Makes sense and will be telling if other models continue this trend. This has more potential to underperform qpf wise in my opinion compared to what weve expierenced past 6 months. Id set .5 qpf as the high end bar.
It was fun to check out though. It was wild.The dgex was the worst tool, it’s the Nathan peterman of weather models
I'll just know to deduct 98% of the snow accumulation it shows for me from now on and then I will be good to go, LOL!The fv3 should be the only model any of us ever use again for snow. It stood tall all by itself for over a day with this solution. The December storm and now this one it has absolutely reigned as king. No questions at all. It has a slight cold bias but other tHan that it’s rather incredible.
Fv3 long range. Nam short range. Those are all you need.
Also to follow up on this, the RGEM IS now the most amped solution at H5 (actually almost identical to 3km NAM), which was pretty obvious it was going to be on the 12z runs.Actually...the 558dm line is in almost the identical location on both (running through TX), and the heights out ahead of the RGEM to the east are higher. The trough is also already neutral tilt on the RGEM ensemble mean. This all actually is arguing for an even more amped and further north solution than the FV3...
Euro anyone? It looked weaker with the low and maybe a little more south?
