Sorry Typer, don't mean to take your job.. ;)

But after the 21st, the 12Z GFS ensembles don't look too bad.. all things considered. Would be great to see more consensus on that 24th "troff". More importantly, it shows mountain snows.

Anyways it is all :14clown: range for now.

Ensemble mean stays at or above average for the entire time period. :dancepine:
It's called clown range for a reason.

Unfortunately, when the GFS and the Euro disagree about something, it is usually because the GFS is wrong and the Euro is right.

I’m just hoping for mountain snow. Was up at Cypress today and while they’re doing the best they can with what they have, it’s still pretty rough.

Siding with the Euro until it caves. Euro seems to be handling these cut off lows better.

Ya… gfs was a bit of an outlier vs its 00z ensembles also.

Still things to work out!
