cyclone77 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Dropped to -2 just after midnight, but have since sprung back up to 9. The 4 inches of snow on the ground is like cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 -7.1F here and thick CLOUDS ... Weird. Clouds must have just ,moved in... I can see clearing to the east. No wind again. The NWS has been way off on these overnight temps. They need to look at the GFS a little more. Last night they called for -1F...it was -11F Night before the call was -10F and it was -17F... Too bad it wouldn't start snowing now... ratios would be about 100:1. Probably get 20 inches of fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 baroclinic_instability does a nice job of cutting us down in the NE subforum. Yeah, the discussion produced by CT_Blizz and Weatherwiz is great. They're budding meteorology phenoms. That was nice of baroclinic_instability. I notice he doesnt mention that his is as weenie and IMBY as they come. All WE do is say "this model has this, that model has that"? HE is the one that does not appear to discuss anything until a model shows it slamming MN. Then, the following days are hilarious. If the model moves in a favorable direction for MN, you hear about how WELL they are handling the storm, and even the gem that "18z runs being poor is a big misconception". Living so far north, it is no surprise he is a BIG proponent of north trends on models and how correct they are. THEN when they start to shift south, a new tune is sung, just look at the last storm for an example of it all. "They may be shifting ever so slightly south.." when they are actually shifting a decent margin. Or "you can actually see the placement on the initialization is too far south" (funny, I thought the models were handling this storm so WELL?).

michsnowfreak Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Roads still a mess from the 6.3" snowstorm 3 days later. Its the 4" heavy wet snow flash-freezing then the 2" of powder drifting. Have seen storms drop twice as much snow with half the road hassle. But its all worth it for a winter wonderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 3 or 4 runs in a row the GFS is indicating a more progressive pattern after 300 hours. Could get toasty. Just in time to melt all the old snow for Chiristmas. Yay!!! Then again, the models have been showing that phantom progressive pattern for weeks now that never materializes once it gets into 180hr.

What irked me a bit was that he seemed to be implying that member for member, the SNE thread has more sophisticated wx related discussion than we do. That their blue_taggers engage in meanigful analysis, while we just regurgitate what the models say. That I don't agree with at all. I think we do a fine job of analysis, taking into account that most of us are not mets. Certainly no worse than the average SNE member. The difference is, and this is where I kind of see where he's coming from, is that if you're looking for a more technical discussion about the weather, the SNE forum is more attractive because it has at least 5 red taggers who post at least 25 times a day each. So naturally the discussion will be more advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Roads still a mess from the 6.3" snowstorm 3 days later. Its the 4" heavy wet snow flash-freezing then the 2" of powder drifting. Have seen storms drop twice as much snow with half the road hassle. But its all worth it for a winter wonderland Yup school has been cancelled 2 days in a row. We only had 1 school day a few years back and it snowed 15 inches. One of the few storms I remember where the temps dropped 20 degrees while it was still snowing. Boring pattern right now but it looks like next wekk may be active with wild temperature differences. Need to stop the clipper train and get storms to come into the SW and eject out of the 4 corners or over the rockies. Models do a better job with these storms as they usually require no phasing.

daddylonglegs Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I've got 0F here, but up at the NWS on the bluff they have 10F. They sit a couple 100 feet above me. Need some wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Interesting sat image (ESA) from yesterday of eastern WI... You can see L Mendota in Madison, Green Lake just to the northeast (deepest natural lake in Wisconsin) and you can also see L Winnebago (which is mostly ice covered now).... Near the shore of L Michigan must be some sort of mixing going on...probably getting ready to freeze solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 It's a balmy 32F here in Cape G, almost feels "warm" for once.. Really hoping the ice misses this area, but not looking very likely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 Not in December from the looks of it. 12z GFS lost it, but for a few runs it was showing things becoming more zonal after Christmas. Would match up nicely with the an at least temporary demise of -NAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
