WxUSAF Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Where the hell is yoda? GGEM trended colder and is FZRA for the Shenandoah Valley, and starts as snow or sleet for most of the folks north of DC before ending as rain. http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmdn/pcpn_type/pcpn_type_gem_reg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 12z NAM has marginal temps and light and scattered precip. Maybe some early morning mix Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 12z NAM has marginal temps and light and scattered precip. Maybe some early morning mix Saturday. Not exactly impressive, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 it was NEVER impressive. it has been at best a marginal event N and W and it has featured minimal amounts of frozen precip. I don't understand being pissed off over not getting a huge snowstorm when a huge snowstorm has never been in the cards for this weekend. I'm not sure why Winterwxluvr is even posting about this at all, he punted yesterday with the 12z runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 12z GFS getting precip in here overnight Friday night, and advertising close to a quarter-inch of frozen QPF through Saturday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Light wintry mix returns for Sunday? Surprised to see something there, for my part. A low to the south and a high to the north. Curious if the 108 panel might give a little something frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am also slightly intrigued because of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 12z GFS getting precip in here overnight Friday night, and advertising close to a quarter-inch of frozen QPF through Saturday morning.

North Balti Zen Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Maybe per the GFS on that run something frozen to start on that Sunday dealie, but it warms quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Maybe per the GFS on that run something frozen to start on that Sunday dealie, but it warms quickly Its a freezing rain/sleet deal. The 2m 0c temp stays south near EZF for most part of the "event". 1000-850 mb thicknesses are cold enough through 105 and would support FZRA/PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 LOL...mega-torch is mega-FAIL on the 12z GFS with not 1, but 2 borderline cold rain/snow events perfectly bracketing the SNO-days of fun. This is all of course quite a departure from previous guidance, so take it with appropriate levels of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 is it me or is this the most over hyped torch!! since the strat. warming calls? 2 days with highs in the 40s doesn't scream torch to you either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Interesting for the weekend. Can't wait to see the Euro. Is it even possible that this might be one that trends for us? The torch looks to be awesome at this point . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
