ravensrule Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I, for one, cannot decide whether I will miss his expertise or his friendship more. Those late autumn days, with Winter closing in, he alone served as the voice of reason, displaying a deep sense of both professionalism and humilty. It was only during these final weeks where we got to know him as a man. His somber, yet graceful, analysis. The daily dose of optimism and inspiration delivered not only to me, but to all who deigned to listen. Indeed, he was a icon-- but more importantly, he was my friend. And I will miss him greatly, not only for what he did for me, but for his undeniable contribution to civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Today's Board Despondency level: 7 in just 10 days though! I'm still not punting on the weekend potential. Maybe tomorrow.

mitchnick Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think we manage to get at least 1 decent event this winter just a gut call, but there are too many things that suggest it will happen and I think our bad luck has to run out eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real though, I believe we see one more small event... like a 2"er Outside of the October snow, that would be the largest of the winter. And, no, I don't think it will happen. The bad attitude has now completely taken over. In my wildest imagination, I would have never seen this coming. We can't even get a real cold front. Sunday's cold front sent my temps Monday plunging all the way to only slightly above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just wait until we get a southern snowstorm. I can just feel that coming. A massive arctic front and then a storm that slams about 35 degrees latitude from Arkansas to NC. That's probably when I get banned. At least we know you are safe for another year.

marked8 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I tried to troll you on the main board about writing a column for CWG everytime the GFS long range flipped(which was everyday) and that you should just stick with your warm and snowless forecast but they apparently think you couldnt handle it and removed it. It was a sweet kind of trolling too:) Wes is troll proof. Unfortunately you trolled Winter last Summer and killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 i dont often get too far into comments these days on CWG unless it's a forecast post or a climo post. i wouldnt take it too personally.. people are jerks particularly when they are anonymous. I think most of the comments are funny even the HM comparison. I suspect the post about not being able to forecast snow was made by a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The weekly cfs2 temp forecast have trended to wall to wall warmth during the two weeks that were supposed to be cold becuase of the PNA switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Once again, the "pattern change" is turning into a cold front passage that will drop our temps a couple degrees below normal for 2-3 days and then it's right back to pseudo-spring. The -NAO that was advertised a few days ago has now been dropped by the progs. GFS still hangs onto the big +PNA ridge out west through the ensemble run, but the Euro looks like it's already decaying by Day 10. PV is not dropping into Hudson Bay in the long range anymore, as was previously forecast, but remains stuck near the Davis Straights were it has been all freaking winter. Edit...forget "decaying". PNA ridge is completely GONE on the Day 10 prog on the Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 looks like gulf of alaska low might be setting up shop again at the end of the run. coldest air in southern canada is near new england if that's any sort of good news. northern plains torch inching east into 240.

That it keeps a positive NAO is a bad sign. My 2 week cold period doesn't even look seasonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I tried to tell you all this was gonna happen! La Nina February climo ftw I'm-a waitin for my pattern flip LOLOLOL Nothing is believable except the weather outside. I wonder if the programs that are the heart of the computer models are too precise, too complex. Are efforts to predict weather 10-20-30 days in advance causing models to be less accurate than they might be if they were run only to about 7 days. I don't know any of those answers, but something makes these things jump around like a rabbit. I would love to see our mets just take the initial conditions globally and write a general forecast for each day 1 through 7 and then compare that with what actually happens and then compare that with the model forecast for each individual day that was predicted 5 days earlier by the chosen model. Anyway, just rambling thoughts since there's nothing else to do but gripe. I never have figured out why 99% of the planet needs weather forecasts 2 weeks in advance. Just to see if we can do it, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
