Re: January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
00Z GFS continues to show a major widespread snowstorm Wednesday night. I'm skeptical it will verify at the modelled intensity, but even half the totals shown would be nice. In a setup like this, everybody would get heavy snow.

Re: January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
It also looks like it develops that little slider a bit more on Tuesday night, which could prove interesting.AbbyJr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 8:09 pm 00Z GFS continues to show a major widespread snowstorm Wednesday night.

The goofus is incredibly intent on putting us briefly in the freezer after that overrunning event.

Re: January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
Yes it was quite a sad day today watching all the snow melt. It's okay buttees, Frosty the Snowman will be back another day

Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++

Literally, in terms of freezing the fresh snow to survive longer.

Re: January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
That Wednesday night thing is looking great. Icon was even stronger with the pull of cold from the interior ahead of the precip. That storm is looking like a widespread 15-35cm right now.

Re: January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions
GFS hasn’t produced accurate results in how long on totals with terrain bleed? Usually Euro and NAM are better.AbbyJr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 02, 2022 8:09 pm 00Z GFS continues to show a major widespread snowstorm Wednesday night.

Nah. The whole area green. Just not enough resolution on mountains.
