Analog96 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Cold air does not entrench itself in the area before the storm arrives this run. System does not get cranking until it is in NE. Its there though..... That's why with this setup we would really need the low to bomb. At least the cold air is there to tap, and there is plenty!

tombo82685 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 ^ you're referencing 850 0 line and not the surface freezing line, correct?...surface 0 line generally is 50 miles northwest of the 850 0. frz line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the cold air is there to tap, and there is plenty! yea that clipper imho is messing things up to start. It parks itself up north and we get that continues southerly flow that warms the bl. Then it takes forever to get the cold back in. That may be the reason it gets going later the temp gradient is further north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKFJ Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 That's why with this setup we would really need the low to bomb. At least the cold air is there to tap, and there is plenty! Agreed. With the lack of a High to north/northwest we need an earlier bombing low to tap into the cold air to our north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 frz line the 850 line is at the coast at 183, the surface line is running along 95. at 186 the surface line is generally along the NJ Turnpike SW of NYC and the 850 line has cleared the coast at 189 the surface line is generally at the Garden State Parkway from NY south at 192 the surface line is at the coast.

I only have a met degree. its very close from hrs 174-180, the 925mb sounding has nyc and phl barely above the 0 line.

It's not really the lack of a high. That sounds like you're saying there's no cold air available. If there wasn't much cold air available, in early Dec, the low could bomb all it wants and it wouldn't snow. What I'm talking about is the cold air isn't there BEFORE the storm.

tombo82685 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Check it again... the 850 line is at the coast at 183, the surface line is running along 95. at 186 the surface line is generally along the NJ Turnpike SW of NYC and the 850 line has cleared the coast at 189 the surface line is generally at the Garden State Parkway from NY south at 192 the surface line is at the coast. yea your right i got the 2 mixed up, but the surface is virtually ontop of the cities from hr 180 on, its the layers above that which i would like to see cause its showing a warm nose at 925, but this is all nonsense its 8 days out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at 180 hours out its impossible to determine the accuracy................ 25 -50 miles one way or the other and 1 - 3 degrees make all the difference....

N & W (Allentown, Reading, Somerset county NJ) have a better shot. Lots depends on when the bombing sets up...too early = too close a track for snow, too late = minor event for everyone. And at 180 hours out its impossible to determine the accuracy................ 25 -50 miles one way or the other and 1 - 3 degrees make all the difference.... The storm could track through Cleveland for all we know...it's still a week out but my point was that this was a marginal event for the cities...I wouldn't get your hopes up, that's all...

CooL Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Looking more like your "typical" miller B this run, kind of like that euro run a few days ago that had it, lets see what it has today.

SnoSki14 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 It doesn't matter what the models show this far out, butt the pattern is not perfect because we are dealing with significant rain/snow issues. I just hope this isn't the case where it's cold before the storm, it rains during the storm, and gets very cold after the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog96 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Scott, Not just wrap-around. We're between 28 and 32 the entire time precip is falling. The entire column is AOB freezing. That is a snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a SW wind direction in NYC from 174-180......early december i dont think that would be snow.....But whatever this obvisouly is a mute point as its 180 hrs out......Sorry for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
