I remember that....I was like, "what is he smoking"....he def. has a cold bias.

The NAM was a total sh** show with that event up until a +12hr lead. It was 2-4 degrees too cold at 850mb.

Dimartino flipped out because the surface temps were 4-5 degrees below forecasts. Which, in principle, is fair. But he was raping the NAM and the warm layer was incredibly underforecast...so it was 25 F and heavy sleet here.

Yeah, it is a harsh contrast-- especially given that I was in Boca Raton, Florida, all weekend. lolz

Only here for a month, so not so bad. A month is cool.

Hawtness. B)

Well knowing you, you will find the light in the darkness. Are you expected to receive any of that um eh Hurricane that hit the Isles?

No it isn't fair because as a meterologist, he should know that what matters are the MID LEVELS with respect to snow.....models underestimateing ageostrophic flow is a common occurence and simply leads to an increased ice threat.

The NAM is notorious for underdepicting mid level WAA in sw flow events.

No excuse for him not to have seen that.

How much?

2-6" here in West Seneca...6-12" northern BUF suburbs..something like that I think.

Ill probably take a take a 20-30 minute ride north tomorrow if things are looking iffy for the band to be here for any significant duration.

If the lake was normal temperature for this time of year this event probably wouldn't be happening...it's kind of a weird set-up...Pacific shortwave...lots of moisture...good synoptic low-level lift...marginal lake-induced instability.

Gone for 72 hours for disagreeing with my opinion.

Well, I took a hiatus from looking at anything at all yesterday model-wise. Looks like I didn't miss much and shoudl have a good long while to catch up on sleep in prep for the next threat. Nice looking day today. Took it off for vacation (use it or lose it time of year). Might go on a short hike with the Mrs. this morning. Enjoy the day, all.

26.5/25

What did you do to get in trouble, Jay? When do you finish exams? Hope the first semester went well.

Very odd issue last night. Short answer : No. There is an OT topic on it and also a post by Ray on the AMWX FB page if you wish to get caught up.

Exams end for me on the 20th, 1255 flight out of BWI for about 50 bucks. Can't complain. Not coming back until almost the 28th (jan)!!!

First semester...hmm.. could do better. too many C's!

Best to steer clear of OT if your vampire defenses are down, too many emotional black holes and energy suckers dwelling in the mire.

Yes, I'm steering clear of the issue at the wish of the admins for now on. No longer any point in discussing it.

Actually got into the high 20's here. Been having frosts almost every single morning lately. 11 days till I'm home for a month. Mark my words, winter for SNE begins when I land.

Has not been much cooler than that here. I really hope you can bring us some winter ju ju. lol.

With my daily schedule of academics, athletics, and surgery rehab I'm not too concerned. My first semester of college at a party school, I'll take it.

Ok, man...sounds to me like you have a little too much on your plate...the athletics should be the first thing to go...but if you are satisfied with Cs at Towson, more power to you...

laugh.png I'm getting a free education from athletics...

all the more reason not to waste it...guess you can't quit...but you seem too satisfied with your Cs...i guess it's lol-worthy to you, but you have a wonderful opportunity...you need to think long-term...don't count on the nfl...let's get those grades up in the spring

I'll fix it I promise.

To my own defense, my backpack was stolen with hundreds of pages of notes a week ago. Nice to be heading into finals with nothing.

I'll even PM you a progress report if you would like :lol:
