As has been the case with most storms this winter, the system came out further north then most of the numerical guidance had (ecmwf had it pegged I believe 12z Wednesday but then back off and shifted the storm further south with the 00z run) and snow accumulated about 8 inches here. So far this winter up close to 50 inches which is already above the normal of 40 inches.

A northwest prejudice is a mark of warmer thermal profiles or SW Surge of cold air to the west of the system. To say that is the case of all storms this winter is incorrect.

Today’s system has a Southern Bias due to snow pack. The Northwest projection was wrong.

most storms that have affected ME have been further north then the models have indicated this winter. maybe the ones that have affected you are different.

No. I watch all storms. To make a blanket statement is all inclusive. I was just making note of today’s storm or system if you will. It had a southern bias and a cooler thermal profile. Snow cover to the south was the etiology.

Read my statement again. I said MOST not ALL. Meanwhile this was a discussion from Quad Cities this afternoon:


ECMWF HAS BEEN TRENDING NORTH WITH THE MAJOR STORM...AS IS THE GFS.
SHOULD THIS TREND CONTINUE AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THIS WINTER
FREQUENTLY...ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER EVENT COULD IMPACT THE CWA.

I got you Steve. In retrospect you are correct in general this year. I think as you get a little further south in latitude things get a little crazier.
