CoastalWx Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 While I can see that you may not be thrilled on 3-6" events.....if we had an 18" Tip blue bomb...you would be totally nude counting each closed height contour at 500mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Haha I'm just busting your ballz Tip...it has been frustrating. Sometimes more than others. Just when it looked like we were on the cusp of going somewhere, building the pack, it gets beaten back down several inches when we should be gaining inches not losing them, and the snowbanks turn brown. Yeah, I know... Scott doesn't believe me but that's okay. Over the years I have come up with a date. February 10th. A partly or mostly sunny day right at about 32 F, if ever I parked my car in a parking lot at mid day on the 9th, it is not as effectively bread-boxed heated like it is on the 11th of that month. Same holds true either side of November 10th ...going the other way of course. If we don't get snows before that date ... I really do more than less tend to check out and get drastically less interested in whether it snows or not - or gets cold for that matter. Now, I won't be dishonest; if a once in 50 year deal like 1993, 1997...sure - but the value in the Meteorology over those sort of rare events alone obviously should far out way the acceptance of a geriatric cold season - unless you were a brain dead dope. A year like this is a great candidate for checking out I'm afraid. The -AO with rising PNA is a race against the clock; the operational runs finding seemingly physically implausible methods to rain amid those former circumstances is the redemptionless Shawshanking I was barbing before - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if it stinks then it stinks....nothing we can do. But given that it's 1/24 and we are entering the best time in these parts for climo..I'll always have my eye out. Is it going to cause me to be a social hermit..of course not, but it doesn't mean I won't look at models every day and discuss the pattern. I actually enjoy doing that. Hopefully we can squeeze in some events in Feb. We managed to have a major snowstorm in se mass, amid a crappy overall pattern, so things can happen.

I'm not saying we won't get a bigger side event - but it's gone in a week and it futile that way. I dunno - to each is own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Is there a shot at at least some light snow Sat nite/Sunday? It looks like a glorified fropa. GFS tries to bring some snow showers with it. It may be a quiet period for a while. We may have one or two minor things next week..either snow or rain, but that's about it.

Logan11 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice 10+ days of cold, dry useless wx without enough snow for any x country skiing, snow shoeing, etc. Downhill skiiers have man-made snow at least. GFS is marginal tomorrow night here, but if anything it's ice...that's lovely. It looks like a glorified fropa. GFS tries to bring some snow showers with it. It may be a quiet period for a while.

Just take solace in the fact that we're stashing away karma in the bank and shutting the "clunker looms" contigent up, as we pay our dues. We're in a very good stretch in the grand scheme of things...this season is a blip on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
