Default I'm MAD as HELL! - Scandinavia gone! FNMOC

I don't know which weather models you are looking at?
I personally have been using those at FNMOC.navy a lot the last
12-13 years. I have found the best model there.

Suddenly from Wedensday onwards -was it?, they have launched a
new interface for their models.
Europe have now got now 2 interfaces, the new one with better
resolution.
The thing is - the new one DOESN'T show Scandinavia! -
now have we seen that before ;-)
AND, the old one is the ONLY one of all their 20 areas
around the globe that has NOT been updated at all the
last week!!
And this right when we got this very cold weather with
snow down to 500 m here now.
Where is my model when I NEED it!?

So can you tell me - is NOGAPS, GFS available elsewhere
WITH Scandinavia?

or http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsavneur.html
should be of some use for your area in terms of the GFS

In terms of performance, ECMWF and the Met Office Global Model (GM)
routinely outperform the GFS.
There's more links here http://www.metbrief.com/charts.html
