In my Head i picture everyone as their profile pic. Stormtraker let IS Beethoven. You are Bob Dylan. Mrs. J is Mrs. Slocombe be from Are you being served. Maestrobjw be is a sentient treble cleff. I get disappointed when I see peoples real pics and they look nothing like I pictured them.
Eta: Just noticed someone else Ninja-ed me.
So what us the thermodynamic mechanism where clouds cause the nighttime temp to rise? I can understand them slowing the rate of cooling, but how are they warming?
So hypothetically, what would it take to get that arctic air pointed at us instead of just battering helplessly against the mountains. Where should the HP be?
After you have had your fill, can you please give it a push to the east? The cold seems to be hung up on the mountains. See if you can unsnag it please.
In depressing news, here is a graph I made of the long sad story of the 2m temp at 1 pm for one particular gridpoint in central NC according to the GEFS for the days Feb 14 - 16. A tale of opportunities missed.
That would be disappointing, concert in Brownsville TX than at RDU. But the models seem to be completely unable to pin the PV down. I wouldn't say we are out of the running yet.
18Z GEFS was also a bummer. A ~6 F jump in average temperature at 1 pm from the 18Z yesterday in central NC . The big cold was completely lost. So I am assuming that the PV must be in the west this run.
That PV is driving me insane.
