I suggested something very similar 2 winters ago:

hahahaha feb1991, you could have posted that chart as a copy of 95% of the last 4 frames for every run this winter. I'm Only a novice on here but one thing I have learnt is that GFS is a joke beyond about 180hrs and much of the time that is generous! It does provide entertainment mind... even if very frustrating"
I am a long time follower of this thread and although am frequently lost in the technicalities often put forward am incredibly grateful for the time and efforts given by 'some' of the more knowledgeable - cheers guys it is really appreciated by many on here.
It does seem 'Timmytour,' that someone has told GFS it's winter and it obliges 3 runs out of 4 dropping deep blues and purples post 240hrs across our neck of the woods because "it's winter" and there's a good chance it should be cold and it obliges!
What seems so unfortunate is that so much vitreole can emanate from some on what they seem to perceive as written in stone at 10 days +
It would be fascinating to survey the number of posts since 1st November that started, or have the line equal or similar to, - great outputs... "in 10 days time..." Perhaps, if all only looked at all models up to 240hrs the animosity between some and between one model or the other would be a little less tiresome.
I will stick my head down now for another couple of years - Happy snowballing!
