Model Reliability

I've recently downloaded a new weather app on my phone (Windy) and it allows you to select the from 4 different forecast models.
ECMWF 9km

GFS 22km

NEMS 4-12km

ICON-EU 6km

 

Which do you find to be most reliable.  The ICON forecast for Chester for Saturday evening is lots and lots of snow (this is the only model showing this).  ECMWF is showing very light snow on Saturday morning with the other two showing just rain.

Any thoughts?

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall.
