ILSNOW Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Biggest bust for JB in quite awhile looks to be on the table. Still, at least he put out a forecast. i wonder if he's been raked across the coals by the higher ups in the office? If so, it's unfair, but that's the problem when you have a for-profit weather organization. He actually tweeted 45 minutes ago that he is waiting for the last model runs to come out. maybe the computers at accuweather are slow or down.

Moneyman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I guess we'll find out very shortly what happens! not many hours between now and the start of this mess You'll get hammered probably unless this thing tracks to the north of you. I don't like my chances here, this thing keeps trending NW, and the GFS already has the low over me. Only thing that would change this, if the EURO stays where it was from last run, or moves farther south (highly unlikley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ha thanks, but no need for congrats yet, a lot of little things to work out with details. GFS, unexpectedly, actually sped up the speed of this system. It has the surface low displaced farther E from the massive high over the Dakotas and a slightly weaker pressure gradient as a result. This will have big impacts on potential blizzard criteria. Also GFS places the heaviest snow corridor a tad bit more south. NAM also was a tad faster with the upper wave, so a trend may be developing there. Methinks somewhere in between as the wave may be faster, but strong cyclogenesis will result in a slightly slower surface low track. Yeah, too early for congrats over the specific details (perhaps that's what Hoosier got SVS over?). I was only congratulating you on your correct deduction that the southern tracks modelled would be incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Henry M looks in trouble too, but when is he not in trouble? The one time I remember him having a good forecast was back in the fall of 2007. He issued a winter forecast calling for heavy snows in the lower lakes region.

Justin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Noticed on the models we have a nice backside band of snow that develops thru here for a period of time with about 0.31 of liquid equivalent in very cold air with some good dendrites potentially (although that remains to be seen with an clarity) and that could yield a band of 3-5" of snow somewhere around here. So I'm not totally going to write this off just yet but the fat lady is in the middle of her chorus here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Gotta learn to never discount the Euro- I said that two nights ago when it started showing this- Euro has always seemingly been the first to show these kind of trends and baroclinic explained it in great and wonderful detail I might add!!!

cyclone77 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 For those of us in this region it looks like our fate is pretty much sealed. Quickly running out of time and the trend is not our friend if you want snow. It's definitely going to be interesting, as we transition from relatively warm air to arctic air, but really don't think we see much in the way of accumulations. The wraparound action could be somewhat interesting, but really wouldn't expect more than an inch or two at best, unless something changes in a big way over the few runs.

Well thanks I am always down for a lively weather discussion, which this definitely has been. This storm will be fun to watch for everyone, even the ones not seeing massive snow.

cyclone77 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The NAM and GFS both drop around 0.10" of precip on the QCA after 18z Sat. Anything before 18z looks like all rain to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is a disasterous forecast for him. I mean, he's not usually this wrong. Seriously, I doubt his clients are very happy. I don't see why they'd be raking Margusity for this. People don't pay to read/listen to his forecasts. You can get them on the free site, so who cares if he busts. People pay to read/watch Bastardi. In fact, he's the only met on accuweather that you have to pay to listen to/read. Even Elliot Abrams is free to read. People pay and hope to get accurate forecasts. He was looking very uncomfortable in his video this morning, as if his boss wasn't too happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortuantely, I think the overall pattern/ storm track for the winter is showing itself, which means we could be in for a crap winter in these parts. We're paying for 2007-2008/2008-2009.

What i found strange was his column that popped up this morning with a wednesday 10pm time on it that said something like "the euro has my idea". It was strange for two reasons, first the euro would have been out like 9 hours already.....second the euro was a lot further north than what he outlined in this mornings vid. maybe it's a little intentional confusion.

In fairness, I believe that was posted late last night. Someone drew attention to it in this forum, but many rolled their eyes. In the video he even highlighted NNY and eastern Ontario as places to get hammered. Who knows, maybe he'll score a coup? I agree, though, that he brough tthiso n himself by making it sound like it would be the storm of the decade or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
