What perplexes me is how many of the model riders there allege that it's a fun practice, despite how cranky they tend to get when the models stop going as they wished.
It's called clown range for a reason.

There's something, um, fishy about such a strategy.

True, but the EPS deamplifies that ridge in the clown range. Probably doesn't matter much at this point given its 300+ hours away right?

Yes it does it’s a really snowy setup with low after low coming from the northwest and outflow in place. Not crazy cold which is what you want for a snowy patern.

Good run. Less cold but more snow.

Shows 5-15cm of wet snow on Friday, changing to rain in the evening. Chilly and wet through Saturday afternoon before the arctic front pushes thru from the north in the evening, interacting with a surface low. Another shot of snow with that before things clear up Sunday.

No, doesn't really matter at this point. Better to focus on the mid range (~100-200hrs) stuff first.
