GFS is too cold.
GEM is too snowy.
2 to 5cm for all with highs near +1C and lows near -7 sound good?
2-5 cm? SKINFLINT. That's what the GFS already has!
The compromise is between 2-5 and 20-30 so I'd say the real compromise is 10-15.
2025-26 season stats:
Climo
∞ to 0.5
GFS
Season total: 0.5 cm and TWO traces!
Peak depth: 0.5 cm (01/07/2026)

stay on the ground for a few days.

Not sure I buy it.
GFS showing a carbon copy of the last trough. System is trending further offshore and south.

Well, at least western areas have some blue.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I drink German beer for this reason as well.

But Bono, the GFS is flip flopping between less and more snow. Clearly we should trust that consistent trend over all the others!

Nito is desperately trying to find "silver lining"
in his view. Good problem to have figuring out how much snow we get.

At this point, I would take a blend of the Euro and GFS, if the GEM is out to lunch.
