WHAT I LIKE.. WHAT I DON'T LIKE

1ST.. THE AMOUNT OF LIFT SHOWING UP ON THE MODELS.  NORTH OF THE "BOWLING BALL" WILL BE -15 UVV PLUS LIFT... THIS SUPPORTS RAPID SNOW FALL... 2" PLUS

WHAT I DON'T LIKE... HOW THE GFS IS HOLDING BACK ENERGY AND BRINING THE PATTERN MORE ZONAL.. IE ENE MOVING STORM.  THIS DOES LITTLE SUPPORT HEAVY SNOWS....

And then look at the EURO which has remained consistent with the UKMET of NO ENERGY lost in the system with much better phasing.  This is a VERY WARM solution.. with little backside snows.

PHILADELPHIA EURO NUMBERS.. NO SNOW FOR YOU.. JUST RIDICULOUS HEAVY RAINS!
