Okay, are we seriously pretending the parallel GFS isn't modelling a parrallel universe? I have never seen that model show itself as being worth anything, especially when the EPS is fully on board. How many times has that model buried us in snow when the actual weather ended up nothing even close to that.
I never understood what parallel GFS was. Is it an experimental new version or the old one that was retired but is for some reason still being used?

It is eventually going to replace the current GFS. The physics behind the model obviously need some refinement and that will happen. However, it is also supposed to have a much increased vertical resolution and once they iron out the kinks, it will be a pretty big upgrade over the current GFS. Eventually anyway.

Famous last words, but I am totally on board now.

I am also liking the dry outlook. That should bode well for actual cold temps. I wouldn't worry about a lack of snow. That will work itself out.
