Ive had this discussion with Josh more times than the lions have losses the past 20 years. Dont waste your time lol. You wont get him to admit we suck at big dogs.
The jan 5 2014 wasnt a big low pressure barreling. If I remember correctly I think it was a weak low pressure system that phased with the PV. I think last nights runs were about as far north this thing will drop the big snows. Unless the shortwave coming into the sw is being modeled poorly on its strength. Toledo looks good back towards N ind.
Its gotta surprise the nws mets how many real weather nerds/snowstorm nerds there really are out there. Sometimes when they're writing their AFd's and social media posts, I think that they forget that a large number of people actually read them lol.
Its been chilly, in the 50s here in fort myers past few days. Gonna be in the 80s n sunny all week so its gonna have to be a lil more north tomorrow for me to leave lol.
I forget, you're in dallas?
You never wanna be in the bullseye 36-48 hr out. Id rather be on the northern fringes so i like where detroit sits. More often than not, banding ends up further north. Ill wait until tomorrow 12z to book anything.
Toledo bullseye. Crazy the gfs still spitting out 30+ kuchera totals. And the band got wider on the 0z. Curious to see if weve hit the northern most extent of the heavy 30+ banding.
What the hell happened to the ukmet? Its been way way south the whole time. Did they run some kind of update on it and now its scores arent as good? I remember it having the best verification scores as recent as last yr.
You'd think id learn after 17 yrs of this, and after ghd1 but a weenie gonna weenie. I dont get as stressed as I used to. Just been waiting forever for our own ghd 2 footer in metro Detroit. Maybe this is it.
I was gonna wait until tomorrow night to book my flight. Cant trust these models enough until within 36 hrs lol. Would prob fly home late tues night. Was thinking maybe even wed morning but not risking getting it cancelled since it looks like it may start wed morning. Airlines are weak nowadays, delta used to never cancel flights unless a blizzard. Now all it takes is a couple inches.
I agree that DTW is sitting in a good spot for the front end snows and the main show and has a chance to see some of the higher totals. Im just happy theres something to track. Basically 3 months of no big dogs to track so far.
Gotta smell the rain to get the big snows i suppose. It was looking like dtw was safe from even a north shift but who knows now lol. I was hoping the models would get their act together by the morning so I can book my flight home for this if needed. My family and friends cant believe i would leave 80s n sun for snow lol.
Firehouse of snow lined up from maine all the way back to new Mexico hr75 on nam. Incredible developments the past 12 hrs, most noticable the orientation of the band in a nw/se trajectory. N IL and central Michigan reeling it in.
Mixing issues almost all the way up to dtw.
