come on let's focus on the potential dusting nw of the city overnight

The 18Z nam doesn't like it, not much precip and all rain. The gfs likes it and give BWI 0.056" all in the form of snow and gives dc 0.045 as snow. Oddly enough it likes Ji and the western guys the least. It will be interesting to see which model will win out. I don't trust snow with cold fronts but you pretty much have to mention a chance of rain changing to snow in a forecast.

i'd be surprised if the gfs was right tho im not sure i'd even notice if it was other than looking at ob history in the morning.

it was HM that called for 1-3" i think. he likes to get the weenies (you) excited

And since he nailed the storm earlier in the week we fell hook line and sinker.

LOL you guys are bad. I never called for 1-3"....step away from the models.

I'm stepping away from this hobby. Bought a nice amp this week and I'm just going to play guitar in the basement till next el nino

Excellent idea. Which amp did you go with?

The ECMWF is starting to trickle in; I'll let you know if it has anything worth coming out of the basement for. ;)

Amp =tech 21 power engine

Euro--dry when cold but when 850 temps go above 1 it's wet right ?

I could look it up but...is that a tube amp?

The ECMWF has the cold blast Jan 18-20 with snow showers Thursday afternoon. It is poking that ridge again into Greenland but previous runs showed this failing miserably after the 20th.

Our only hope before we blowtorch is if something can sneak in along the southern stream ahead of the heat and behind the cold air leaving with this temporary -NAO (transient ridge of course).

We are holding you to your guarantee of 1-3" with the snow showers next Thursday :P .

LOL ....

I haven't seen any snow since Oct 29th outside of a car top dusting. I understand the frustration.

Speaking of LOL...ECMWF likes this -NAO tonight.

It's an amp used for modeling pre amps.... Sounds awesome. Sounds alot better than the winter forecast

Maybe well get the early march storm this year that you always call for:)

Those model preamps can be prolific. I know Fender has a whole series of those styled amps that bring in every prior sound that's been developed. I know you can go in and manual change settings too and make your own models. Awesome stuff...

When we blowtorch, I'll be sure to make a March Blizzard long range call. ;)

According to today's weeklies that was not supposed to show up until early February, maybe we are getting an early present. Where do you live?.

Hm also while you were gone ...roger smith became the boards Tim Tewbow

Hey tell that to Glenn Hurricane Schwartz who claims some nutjob in the UK is the only person who gets the winter right.

Yes, his forecast is doing great through mid-January.

Prior runs of the ECMWF take this transient ridge out toward the longer term so it isn't quite an early present unless it trends to be more formidable.

I live in NW NJ.

Yeah tube amps can be overrated for authenticity if you and anyone listening enjoys what is being heard out of a modeled amp. But there are some guys who swear the tones just can't be matched and they're probably right.

Call me crazy but is there a threat Jan 29-31 per the GFS ensembles and possible wave breaking from IO convection? :axe:

I think BB should track this guy down and they can forecast together:

Historic east coast blizzard end of Jan first few days feb.... followed by severe artic cold most of feb... cold march april.

with something big poss early March... As for above I would go with Feb 2nd. (give a day or two)

Peace
