weatherMA Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thank you for the info. If we do not get snow from this storm i may have to come and visit you to see snow, because i cannot take this much longer. He has no snow either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yes...but given where model guidance is right now and how the ensembles look, a cutter is less likely than it probably was before that...once you get a ridge axis past the Rockies, the worry becomes whiffing wide right vs a cutter. But given the timeframe we are at, either is still possible. Thanks for this tidbit... i was wondering about this earlier in the thread about where we wanted the ridge to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The ORH average is like 65" lol...they're not that good. We get like 30-40" in our bad winters. I was just looking at your last 5 or 6 winters i did not go far back. But your crappy winters are like our very good winters. Even though i live N&W of town my average is still only 27 inches per winter, at BWI it is lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 What a kick in the pants it would be - after having suffered through nearly 2 months of warmth - to watch VA Beach and NC get wallopped by a snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The ORH average is like 65" lol...they're not that good. We get like 30-40" in our bad winters. Their average is 69.3"...its been a good run recently. Hasn't been a sub-40" winter since 1999-2000. But this is off topic for this subforum. We are all getting completely screwed right now. Sharing in the misery. This storm offers hope for all the regions as nobody has been getting hit at all in the east. I think the fact so much attention is getting paid to a storm 7 days speaks just how bad its been for the whole east coast. The ridge idea I am fairly confident on...with the EC ensembles having it, it was only a matter of time for the GFS to start caving, but for the actual snow possibility, we need a lot more than just the larger ridge...we need some really good energy diving down and the ridge itself needs to be really amped, not just big.

Amped Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 GFS shows no snow through 384 hrs. I guess if musicians call albums that suck "Concept Albums" us weather weenies can call model runs that suck "Concept Runs" and this is a definite Concept Run.

yoda Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Something went down on the GGEM, can't tell if its a Miller B or something else -- http://www.weatherof...ast/495_100.gif 999mb L just SE of NYC at 144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 move. I would never leave my Ravens, even if it meant having to suffer through 50 and rainy all winter. I have never missed a game in 16 seasons, even for funerals or weddings. I just do not miss. Thank g-d my first born came out the friday night before a game not on Sunday, or i would have missed that as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not quite as gung ho as the Euro so it would probably not be a big event on the GGEM, but it might be an anafrontal light to moderate snow event for at least part of the region in this subforum if not most.

I don't think I usually disagree with anything Wes says. He's one of the best mets on this site. I think I just naturally try to point out the keys to getting the snow event to work out, so it might seem like I'm more optimistic. But I already said there were plenty of problems with this event as it stands right now too. We'll see how it evolves over the next few days.

ohleary Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Looks like the GFS is starting to cave. Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The 00z CMC still has a storm, though not as deep/amplified.....its a rain changing to snow type thing...we all know how those have worked out around here, but maybe a bit better set-up with this one....Im still very skeptical about this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreWxGuy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 at the risk of being a big weenie, the ridge/trough axis looks even better this run than 12z Earthlight does not seem to be in agreement with you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 no...it is our biggest cold air dump of the season, so worth paying attention to the evolution, but neither of the 2 models that matter has a storm....

Midlo Snow Maker Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 still develops the low but too far east -16c make it's to DC -12 fla panhandle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 trough is faster, less sharp and never closes off....no storm Ok thank you for the details, like you said we will have cold air and we can worry about the details as we get closer. This sure as hell beats December when we knew we had no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 When euro shows a hecs and Gfs shows nothing...the euro almost always folds. It's when they both show a storm that the euro dominates the Gfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
