Interesting.  The shorter term models have mostly come north, and these models have remained south.  Will want to see what the Euro does, as NWS Hastings had mentioned a north bump in their morning disco.  By later tonight, the shorter term models are what we should be looking at anyway, north or south.

I hope it goes north I just need a little bit of moisture you guys need the moisture bad and I'm ready for some warmer weather and thunderstorms.

I'm with ya. I'm ready for spring too. These few warm teases we've had plus lack of snowfall have got me thinking spring and t-storms.

That is way way north of all other guidance.  I expect a drastic shift south on its next run. 

I would agree most times other than SREF nailed last event pretty good as an over achiever compared to other guidance. Likely too far north, but time will tell.

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

I don't know, I'm feeling unusually good about this one for Omaha. Gut feeling, nothing based on data or whatnot. We will see.

Clearly I need a gut check.

Not the best sign when I'm forced to cling to the NAM & hi-res peanut gallery for hopes of >4" of snow, but gosh darn it that's what I'll do!

^^ maybe for NEB. But in Iowa -- N and E shift continues.  Tis the season for a North shift to occur more and more- just dry air that needs to be overcome. 2 weeks from now- this would be in C to N.MN.

LNK is sitting pretty if you look at the short range models and ignore the globals. It's actually surprising how the NAM, RAP, and HRRR seem to be in agreement.

Almost exact placement. I’d feel better if global came north. It is like the big dogs vs. the little guys. 😂

For KC, the global models have performed better than the hi res models this year.  I can remember specifically being very upset during the early February snows here when the hi-res models had KC getting hammered up almost until the storm started, and then the heaviest stuff went south of us.  The global models were on target with that. 

With our biggest snow, on 2/17, at 48 hours out, the EURO was way too far south, the NAM and HRR were too far north, the Canadians were south and the GFS was about right.  Interestingly, the ICON did a great job with that storm, accurately predicting the sharp cutoff of snow between KC and St. Joe.  UKIE did well too for the same reason.  

Having said all of that, you never know which model's going to be right for any given storm at any given location.

Well we know if it's going to snow it will happen on a Thursday.  Seems like every snow of any significance has hit on a Thursday this winter.

The differences in placement in modeling is astounding this close. 

The models this season just love being so different and spread out so close to the event. Luckily the GFS has been pretty reliable compared to the other models but this time tomorrow we will see who will be the winner
