Brick Tamland Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Weenie - This refers to someone prone to wild swings in emotion because of a lack of knowledge when it comes to weather. Weenies also often create totally baseless pseudo scientific reasons to back up their claims about future and present weather events. So when is the snow coming?

chwxmom Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thank you for this info - I usually try to pick up the lingo "on the fly", but it's so useful to have all of this in one place for reference! I'll be using it all winter long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Also, the next big snow storm is always 10 days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Here is one........... Winter begins December 1st. Still counting Dec 20th as "fall" is a joke. Meteorological winter starts DECEMBER 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannon_fodder Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I see the term "verbatim" used frequently. When I think of verbatim, I think of "word for word" (or a media disc manufacturer). What is the meaning in this context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Burger, Great info for all to see. Only thing you missed was a pic of Brick next to WEENIE slot. Again great job good reading. I also agree this should be pinned for the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_Wedge_NC Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Added additional model pages and maps. Good post Burger....Do you still have the member's location map that we had a few winters back? Edit: Never mind....I see the link in your sig.

burgertime Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Good post Burger....Do you still have the member's location map that we had a few winters back? Edit: Never mind....I see the link in your sig. It hasn't been updated in awhile. I found a better map service so I might use it as it has a heat map function and you can just input from a spreadsheet which makes things a lot easier.

Thrasher Fan Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 How does one get on the Southeast Members Map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 This may be a little nit-picky, but instead of calling it the 850mb line, I would call it the 850mb zero degree isotherm/line. For someone that is truly new to weather map reading that may make a bit more sense since there is more than one isotherm on an 850mb temperature map. Plus newbies need to know that the 850 temp is at around 5000 ft so the surface temps can often be above freezing when the 850 temps would indicate snow. Also, a warm layer during sleet events often develops above 850mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can be below 850mb though, but really the overall concept is there has to be enough time for it to refreeze, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowNiner Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I would love to see some Mets add to this thread some "good examples of..." For instance when they come across a good example of a model that shows cross polar flow....or a -EPO signature, or a west based -NAO, if they could post it here and call it out, that would do a world of good helping me understand what I'm looking at when the models are discussed. I'm still not sure what constitutes cross polar flow or split flow, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgertime Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Figured now would be a good time to add more to this. Added Miller A and B as well as a section on Upper Level Lows. Again those with more knowledge feel free give your edits and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Burger, consider adding examples of the different storms. Not maps but like march 1993 miller a. March 09' ULL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k0skinne Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 By my post count, you can tell I mostly lurk from time-to-time, but thank you for the work you put in on this reference. What a great resource! I may have missed it in there, and if so, I am sorry, but one good reference to consider adding for Newbies is "the wedge" or CAD. I know that CAD conditions can impact many around the S.E. Again, THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
