Interesting that the recently upgraded GFS is the only model this far south with the storm. It's confusing.

On the one-hand, it's the sole outlier, but on the other hand, it is the only model that properly screws the Poconos.

The new GFS is a disaster. It's going to take months in order for its kinks to be worked out. Right now its about as reliable as the NAM.

He completely busted for many areas with today's little clipper too. Couldn't happen to a nicer Dbag. To be fair though, he stratifies his maps with much more detail than anyone else I've seen, which I appreciate (even when he wiffs).

The first 00z is out, and the NAM goes OTS. Yuck.

Not in its' wheelhouse yet anyway (that's what I'm sticking with).

I normally don't ask for this but please no storm for Tues-Wed...I fly out to Denver that evening for 5 days at Breckenridge...haven't been out west in a long time...I had predicted this would happen when I planned the trip...unless logan gets nothing or rain...I'd be ok with it then :)

I often find that departures from a snowy airport are not a problems. It's the arrivals that often get canceled. There's always an exception, but that's my 40 years of flying experience.
