there's little difference with the scenarios, bad prediction

exactly. It's the worst prediction that I have ever seen. Shame on them.

Accuweather just released a few new maps. I laughed my arse off when I saw them. That has to be the worst prediction that I have ever seen in my life. The storm will move fruther east without a doubt.

a coastal track would send heavy snow near the coasts, not a mix

[IndianaJonesDDT]

I feel like call them up and making the entire accuweather staff take a "weather I.Q. test". And then I would like to rip their spines out and beat them with it.

Excuse me if I think that their map is so, so, so, so, so, incorrect. These maps deserve to be crapped on.

all 3 examples give me heavy snow, near harrisburg penna. but what is your thoughts indianajones?

Interesting how the 18Z NAM and GFS have not shifted at all. This is quite an extreme difference just 60 hours before the event, between the NAM/GFS and Euro. All I have to say is we can't have both scenarios so at least one of these is way off.

the 0z will be critical and should finally start to favor one scenario

[RestonVA]

sorry a newbie question here, what time does the 0Z come out and at this time, how much stock can be put into what it says?

[DS]

00Z is simply Zulu or Greenwich time. During Daylight savings, 00Z is the same as 7 PM Eastern Standard time. The 00Z (and 12Z) runs of models usually receive more initial conditions (soundings, profiles, etc) and they are usually more reliable than 18 Z and 06Z. There are always exceptions.

[RestonVA]

so the 0z will be out in about 45 minutes?

[krysof]

usually it takes longer

[DS]

00Z implies that models start their alogrithms at that time. Usually takes 3 hours or so for US and Canadian models output to appear, a little longer for the Euro, JMA, UKMET, etc.

Restonva,

Thanks for asking that question!!!

Us newbies need to learn the lingo of the science....

Man, I know a lot of people are trashing those maps but I would LOVE for scenario 2 to come true! Just my heart speaking on that I guess! Unfortunately, NOAA is forecasting a high or 40 here with rain and snow Monday. Local TV stations are all different on this as well.
