HM Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Amp =tech 21 power engine Euro--dry when cold but when 850 temps go above 1 it's wet right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HM Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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).

Ji Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live?. 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.

HM Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yea man...you can go from. Fender twin reverb to a mesa boogie dual rectifier in one push of a button ! 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I will def go outside. And I will def enjoy it on the days it verifies. But it's not fun to track. I do miss having winter storms to track, I miss the banter and back and forth over model runs in this forum, I miss the anticipation of a possible good sized event. And I for certain miss the thrill I still get at seeing the first flakes fall at the start of a legitimate winter storm. Same way you would miss having potentials for severe weather outbreaks on the maps in the spring/early summer. In the meantime, I will plan on long runs in 70 degree warmth in January. Which isn't all bad. Nor is the reduced heating bills. But I do miss the other stuff I mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year people were complaining about wasting time tracking storms that looked good 7 days out but fell apart 24-48 hours before the event... now when people don't have to waste their time they complain because there's nothing to track. The severe weather season was absolutely horrible last year, but I wasn't on here constantly complaining about it like some of the snow weenies do.

North Balti Zen Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Broad brushes, Mark. I would rather have something to track than nothing - even if nothing comes of it- but maybe that's just me. And it was a horrid severe season up this way last year, true. All those years I lived in Memphis (1998 - 2009) I got used to hella active severe seasons and legit threats on a regular basis. It has been very different up this way since I moved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feb Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Last year people were complaining about wasting time tracking storms that looked good 7 days out but fell apart 24-48 hours before the event... now when people don't have to waste their time they complain because there's nothing to track. The severe weather season was absolutely horrible last year, but I wasn't on here constantly complaining about it like some of the snow weenies do. One big difference though is with severe weather season, you could arguably have that all 12 months of the year. Snow lovers only have a small window basically December into March. We are soon coming up on half our season gone, with at least two to three more weeks shot in the butt. However, as a snow lover i also fall under the category, if it isn't going to snow, embrace the warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I at least got my one day 2 inch snow. Since it looks like that may be it until next season, I am embracing the torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheesyPoofs Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 And it was a horrid severe season up this way last year, true. All those years I lived in Memphis (1998 - 2009) So your first winter in the mid-Atlantic was 2009-2010? Good timing, but a nice way to mess with your expectations.
