natecast Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Trend of short term models, the HRRR and SREF, is to drop very heavy snow further west in Oklahoma. Baroclinic Instability, a poster in the larger regional forum, posted a water vapor/satellite image of phasing of the jet streams already occuring, which could result in this storm being more amped further south in our region, and taking a more NW course. We shall see. I now I'm glued to the laptop like the rest of you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozarkwx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 hard for me to distinguish tulsa county on that map to me it appears between the 10-15 and 15. Our Ice Damage Index has been raised to Cat. 4. This was the level of the devastation Jan 2009 ice storm. I have spent considerable time today getting everything lined up for a worst case scenario, somewhat hoping it was a reverse jinx. Wood on porch, all vehicles topped off, propane canisters for camp stove, batteries, anti-gel added to diesel fuel, generator pre-started, generator fuel with fuel stabilizer added, everything that can be charged is charging, fridge loaded, work from the office brought home, cash from bank. This was all part of a plan developed arising out of the chaos from a 10 day outage in the 09 storm. If you have never lived through that sort of thing (and been responsible for making sure others in the home are OK) it is understandable some of you poke fun at those making some form of preparation. It was truly sad when our elderly neighbor was caught completely flat-footed got very stressed out by the difficult conditions, and soon thereafter suffered a stroke from which she never recovered. At another level of course, having a big snowstorm is fun and I hope we get one. Just be careful and look out for those who may lack the physical or mental resources to safely weather a major storm.

Wx 24/7 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am planning to pull an all nighter (or rather an stormer). I will be up until the storm is over. Did it with the last one, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'll probably take a nap before the storm. i usually stay up too late, then end up falling asleep during the storm and missing most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Comparing to 18z NAM .......Through 12 there has been a westward shift of the precip on the NAM. Surface cold air is surging southward much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with going into a deep preperation plan like that my friend! Ice storms are deadly and I feel bad for anyone that gets them. I been through a few here in missouri and lost power during every single one of them for 7 days or more! What really makes it awful is having no backup heat and freezing. Every single storm we planned out and had everything everytime except a generator or backup heat source cause the stores were all sold out. Sorry to hear about your neighbor that truely is a sad thing. Hang in there and stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This run of the NAM is even colder still and is about to the point of a mostly snow 6-8" event.. looks like there might not be much if any ZR for me at all.. Per this run.. Not liking this run so far for me. Those in central OK to SE KS will as they get 2 feet easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
