BIG FROSTY Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Personally to me there is more drama when we have bad winters which makes this board more fun. I love a good winter threat but for pure drama these winters are where it's at. Burger all you need is? Two turn tables and a microphone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metwannabe Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 In the LR the GFS also had major changes such as blocking with cold air consistently dumping into the CONUS...now in the LR it's nowhere to be find. What a disaster. I love this banter thread....great stuff. Ya know I was thinking how the gfs has been a train wreck.....as you say it showed LR blocking and consistent dumping of cold, that didn't happen....ok now the LR is showing zonal milder temps......so maybe THAT won't happen either. Cold cometh! I'm just trying to stay positive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I am thinking of just not coming back until we get a real winter storm threat. It's very boring now. It can't be done believe me I have tried. Just when you think you can walk away from this forum, a single run of the GFS or Euro sucks you back in. I'm almost 9,000 miles away with absolutely zero chance of seeing a single flake of snow, and now instead of staying up late for the 00 Euro and analysis, I do it for the 12z.. Sometimes I really think having a love for Winter weather is a sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevo Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Ever since Dr. No gave us the devistating news that our Winter has, in fact, tested positive for NAO, it's been a life of adjustment and confusion. All we can do is hope that a couple of experimental Probi-arctics will combat the disease. Apparently it can only be cured naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 So glad we have a banter thread. Skilling thinks it will be slippery... I'd hate to see where it's going to be hot and sticky. Pulled over from the mid-long thread. It's not going to be in the next 6 weeks. After mid-February it get's tough with the sun angle to get accumulating snow. I have never had to mow my lawn in the winter, that I recall, I have had to mow it twice since Thanksgiving. I might put down pre-emergent at the end of January, if the crabgrass get's going then the pre-emergent will be useless. I know we have some yard artist in our group. I was hoping to have a solid winter Any advice on what will be good to put down and when this year? Or just some general thoughts on how to prepare as spring approaches. Granted my lawn is not a manicured lawn. The majority is a thick plug that was laid more than 20 years ago and turns brown during he first days of fall.

superjames1992 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What's up superj? Where ya been.....not like you've missed anything.....LOL In times of great snowlessness, I try to avoid frequenting the boards too much, lest I have a meltdown. At least we are getting a lot of rain today, which is kind of nice, though it also meant that I hate to walk to and from class in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psalm 148:8 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Figured this would be the place for my questions since I don't want to clutter the mid/long range thread....Ok, here goes...Has the blocking we expected to form already happened?? Or are we still waiting to see where the block finally settles.... Whether it is in our favor our not, I was just wondering....I'm not too good at reading all of the computer models yet....especially looking at blocks and patterns.....Got a handle on the NAO and the PNA and the AO....and know the basics....just not sure how it looks on model graphics....In other words....I am NOT smarter than a fifth grader HA! ...anywho, just wondering as to when I should reserve a place in Lookout's line.

I'll take a stab.. The block in Alaska is starting to come together, in the next day or two it will start to strengthen. The concern is that it is not setting up in an ideal location and moves west even farther way from where we want it as it matures. http://www.instantwe..._500mb&hour=078 Check out this link. Look near Alaska near the Aleutian islands and you will see a red area. That indicates 500mb geopotential heights that are above normal. Basically this is our block. Advance the frames through time by hitting next and you will see the red area darken up and slide west, sliding west towards Siberia is not what we want. The darkening are the heights getting even more above normal, the block getting stronger. Robert mentioned just a minute ago that ideally that red blob (block) would be setup over Alaska not Siberia (Russia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
