But really I stopped into this thread to say I was wrong about this clipper! One fast thump of a clipper. 1/2" in 1/2 hr! Anyway, onward and upward...!
This name calling and back and forth bickering is getting REALLY old. I remember last year there was some hardcore moderation going on in here and although it was a little overzealous, it sure kept the garbage to a minimum. If anything would make me leave this site, it would be all of the useless bickering and not people's opinions on the models or the actual weather. We all model hug, if we didn't, nobody would care about when or where the latest model data is. I am tired of sifting through posts that don't have any relevant information for ten minutes just to get to the meat of what is going on. I wasn't going to say anything, and I won't say anything else after this because I refuse to become part of the problem, but can we please please please keep posts directly weather related and forego the personal attacks? Thanks.
As for this clipper, all I see is a virga storm. Hi-res radar shows hardly any precip hitting the ground, it's freezing dry out there, and we all know what the Apps do to clippers around here - chop chop..!
Friday looks nice. 3-6" is finally beginning to sound rational.
Philly sees a 6-8" snowfall on the 12z gfs. Possible 10" south and east. I think 95/295 will jackpot on this storm, Philly included. We are starting to nail the track down I believe. Constantly showing this result. Once we get the cmc on board we should be all set. This isn't a very complex setup so the models are handling this well. If the euro holds course it'll be time to start looking closer towards Friday.
I usually don't doubt models this far out, but if this run shows a suppressed storm, it's hard to not think it is the trend. I was concerned about that cause of the cold air.
12z gfs should be soon. This is a huge run today I think. Runs are going to start getting crucial. Lets hope this gets back into what it showed 00z lastnight.
