CoastalWx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No. Rain after snow is the absolute worst, and makes the snow useless to even bother touching ground. I absolutely loathe it. I don't mind it if I know it won't do much damage, like in one of our SWFE, but to see it washed away is so awful....lol. I love it when it's falling so naturally I want it to snow, but man when you watch it wash away....it just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No. Rain after snow is the absolute worst, and makes the snow useless to even bother touching ground. Rain after snow blows donkey balls.. but at least it snowed, and you get to enjoy snow falling for a time. How anyone can say they'd rather not have it snow then washed away then not have it all is pretty ridiculous if they are a snow lover imo. In this winter it appears we take what we can get. To each their own. And nothng is pointing to a 55 degree rainstorm after it flips from sow to rain. The last of the torching storms is tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 So 1-2" and then washed away? That's what Christmas is all about. Everyone's ha-ha sarcasm, sardonics and cynical viewpoints aside regarding next week's system... The GEFS mean on the NAO is falling some ~ 1.75 SD to near 0.0 from a beginning near 2.0... That's enough to assume at least some suppression in the exit latitudes of the westerly core/ S/W's is underway. It may not be as registered in the current operational guidance that are running the primary so mightily west. Then again ... 0.0 NAO is not exactly sending everyone to winterize the autos, either...

I suppose I'm one of the few who always want it to stick around. A bit of rain at the end is cool, as long as the snow stays around. But there's really nothing more miserable than a nice 6-10" snow that gets completely wiped out within hours of falling. I'd say a close second is when there's an awesome snow cover a few days before Christmas that gets wiped out on Christmas eve or Christmas Day by the 55 degree deluge. Absolutely antidepressant worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Better to have had and lost than to never have had at all (like Ji in DC) ive had 2 snowstorms already this year...well..the 2nd was actually rain but the models said snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. at least the model said it snowed, never mind reality. Real snow storms are overated. I live for some fantasy Euro run that never materializes.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 GEFS will probably have the SE Bias at this range? That said it's 42 out and feels like 22 after such a warm stretch. The pattern may not have changed but the weather certainly has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The euro has a weaker wave move north of NE and then a follow up wave that runs along a boundary over SNE. Probably a lot of mix near and north of that boundary of it were to happen. It has the 2 wave look that the GFS has been showing, but further north.
