The_Global_Warmer Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wonder if this is typical GFS. The good thing for folks like us is that this storm can probably only cut so far north/west given the setup being shown right now. Luckily for us this winter. We have seen mostly a negative nao and ao, pretty much absurd for a while...this kept us under the NW flow almost all winter. now the NAO is positive but the PV is south enough to keep us cold and the Pacific is good for troughing over the eastern US. and from what I understand the Pacific ridge will move west and the flood gates will open for cold and SW flow to send out some storms? this sounds perfect for Eastern Lake Cutters. this will put us under the gun for suppression, ice, or snow. But it will keep the cold locked in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 how do current H5 progs compare to these analogs.. didn't those storms have huge closed H5 lows in the Eastern Midwest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 In 93 or 78? LOL '78 of course...i'm an old f/\cker. '93 sucked in columbus. We got a blizzard warning but ended up with 4" of windy powder. sometimes during a long stretch of boring winter weather, i'll click on this link, sit back and read it with a sense of nostalgia http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cle/wx_events/Blizzard78/blizzard/blizzard78.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 1978 was the last true blizzard Kentucky has seen. Would be great to see a 1978 type storm in my lifetime as I was born 10 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 So based on JB's analogs, I wonder how much his track would look like this This track won't happen because it would bury Pittsburgh. It only happens every 5 years or so. The models always bury us 100+ hours out but it will eventually go east and put us on the edge or west and give a rain or a mix.

Hoosier Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 really nice looking gulf connection between 100-120 or so. Was browsing the Mid Atlantic forum and Wes (usedtobe) is concerned that it will track farther west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Was browsing the Mid Atlantic forum and Wes (usedtobe) is concerned that it will track farther west. I think it's got a pretty good shot, i don't think we're looking at something strong enough to track as far west as last time, based on wave spacing and the artic airmass ahead of it, but with that kind of southerly 850 flow and lack of major blocking, i doubt it's too surpressed or a coastal. Obv quite a few of those GFS ensembles showing that potential. The Euro should help bring things into better focus over the next couple runs.

Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk lol...I still have some battle fatigue but from what I've seen, I like the potential for the region. Hopefully (for us) we can nudge this one a bit farther south than last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMidwest Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Realizing of the NW Trend as of late? or will the baroclinic zone be shifted south because of the New Heavy Snowpack hence further East Track? Should be a good month for storm action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSNOW Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 JB hype machine in full force he has cut a new Big Dog video outlying the worst week of winter weather coast to coast that he has seen in 50 yrs. Mentions 1966,1978 and 1996 superstorms, and thinks that this will be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
