Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 lets just hope the RGEM is right....actually, lets pray. Is the RGEM good for Ottawa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is the RGEM good for Ottawa? its out of range for us, but it surely would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 At least with the sfc low positioning, it looks like the GFS is east at 30. Same strength roughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneyman Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's east and a bit north. Maybe occluding later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 At least with the sfc low positioning, it looks like the GFS is east at 30. Same strength roughly. The NAM was a little east, too. It's a nailbiter for those of us on the edge and needing a good SE shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 from IWX this morning: PROPOSED CHG TO HEADLINES WAS TO UPGRADE NW HALF TO BLIZZARD WATCH BEGINNING TUE EVENING THROUGH WED EVENING BUT SHOT DOWN DURING COLLABORATION W/NRN NEIGHBORS. LOT had the balls to issue one with no surronding office collaborating. Surprised IWX didn't use LOT's blizzard watch to justify issuing its own. Seems like they will issue one later today I'd bet.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looks like the rapid deepening offsets it further east positioning at 30. By 36 it's over the MO bootheel, similar to 6z. Maybe a touch faster. NAM should remain on its own here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a touch faster. NAM should remain on its own here. yeah i think it was just a touch quicker as opposed to much east. Should still be a solid 12-18" solution up this way. by 36 it's also beefier with the 700mb and juicier up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 12z GFS is indeed stronger with the 850 and 700 lows compared to 6z. Good news there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 got alittle more sleep than I wanted therefore having to go through more pages lol like a 12-18" call for here but that could change. going to be a nowcast event for sure and can't wait.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 NAM is a junk pile with this storm. Ignore it since it is garbage material. Yeah, RGEM and GFS seem like they'll be similar. It's funny that a hi res model like the NAM is struggling in a situation like this where you'd think it'd be more able to pick up on rapid sfc cyclcogenesis/deepening.

Hoosier Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Going to be close.. Whoever gets all freezing rain is in huge trouble.. I gotta toss the NAM for now especially because of what baro has been saying. Whoever is near the edge of the heavy snow band or in the sleet zone on there should still be getting prepared for significant ice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
