All is not lost, but a betting person would certainly bet against any area wide blockbuster right now.

Red Circle is the mean of the GFS. I think it is to far east and should tick back NW. We'll see how much.

Blue dots here represent stations where the 00z ECMWF outperformed the 00z GFS when verified with12z RAOBs. Red dots vice versa.

That is a critical map to teh evolution of teh system out west. MANY more blue dots than red on that map. time will tell.
The legend disagrees with what he said here, and he just corrected himself. GFS performed better where the blue dots are. Seems GFS slightly outperformed the EURO yesterday...
Thanks
@MikeBWeather
for spotting that I tripped myself up with the phrasing in this tweet.
At sites marked in blue, the *GFS* is doing better (lower error) than the ECMWF while the ECMWF is on top at sites marked in orange/red.
So perhaps a marginal edge to the GFS last night

Well as stated previously storms like this do not happen often up here, what really hurts is that the storm is fully there just misses, thats the salt in the wound.frank 638 wrote:

Yeah. I certainly don't have any confidence in Euro/NAM until we have more consensus. One would think with a nice PNA ridge we got a shot, but phasing is just too complex to have any confidence in any solution right now.

If 12z Euro holds I would have a lot of confidence in a Euro/Nam solution as opposed to the GFS. I think it's too far east and will correct. The GFS is known very stubborn in these situations until 24-36 hours out.

Re: Tracking JAN 29th 2022 'The Phase'
I never do this but I looked and they have me for 6-11, if that were to verify I will take it in a heartbeat versus nothing. Also says sustained winds 25-35 mph, gusts would likely be near 50-60mph, thats one wind whipped snowstorm. But whats strange? TWC goes soley off the GFS and that is not what the GFS showed.Scullybutcher wrote:TWC has me for 11-15” I’m sure that will change 5 more times in the near future

Was watching TWC this morning and they said they were using a mix between the GFS and Euro to get the numbers they were using

They saved the rational part for the last three paragraphs...
Meteorologists will have a clearer idea in the next day or so because the energy coming off the Pacific will be sampled by weather balloons and other observations, Bann said. This increases the accuracy of the forecast as the system moves east.
Confidence is growing New England will receive heavy snow and high winds, but there is a chance that rain could wrap in along the coast keeping totals down, Bann said. There is less confidence for the forecast from New York south.
“There is a whole lot of uncertainty,” Bann said. “It will depend on where it develops and when it develops.”

Lonnie Quinn on the 11pm news last night did a good job explaining exactly what both the GFS and the EURO were showing, with two separate maps of the potential outcomes, and an emphasis to stay tuned to today's forecasts.
And I was just at Home Depot and shovels and salt are moving fast. The lady directing people to registers said they were super busy all morning because "apparently we're getting a foot of snow."
I never understand why people need more shovels every time it snows. What happened to the ones they had the last snow event? Shouldn't everyone have shovels by now???
