ORH_wxman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 April 7 of 1982 was pretty powdery too. My first KU event...though Dec '81 was pretty big but not officially a KU...but first documented photo of me in a big snowstorm was April '82...day time in Belmont MA (just west of BOS)....

ORH_wxman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Good chunk of SNE gets hit hard on the GFS for Superbowl sunday...the Feb 3 threat is a no go though. Sunday is where it produces. Ptype issues on the coast...esp south of BOS and southern CT/RI there is a lot of rain, but the rest of SNE is a snow bomb. Expect new solution in 90 minutes on Euro and then again in 6 hours on the new GFS. Model chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct...but both storms can still happen...it doesn't have to be one or the other. Typically though, you'll see one peter out...but again, it doesn't have to happen that way. The first storm has enough spacing to make it legit...but it has to be just right. The 2nd storm is far more likely to happen because of the amplitude of the PNA ridge...it dives down so hard that its almost impossible not to get something somewhere.

Logan11 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I thought Friday's precursor event on the GFS trended north some toward the 12Z Euro.

ORH_wxman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hey big surprise...Euro has the 2/3 event going out to sea while it rots the energy back for the next event...another run, another solution. We will be left wondering I think until Tuesday or Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 LOL You always throw that pic out there...."Baby's First Weenie" I agree that holding the energy back is better news. I probably shouldn't anymore...but a 1982 picture is kind of a growing rarity these days. Jerry will scoff at that and talk about March 1960 literally 22 years before that pic as he should...but I think its cool to show a pic from 1982. All grainy. We all lived in an era without cell phones and high quality pics...until about 2003 or 2004....when all of the sudden everyone had cell phones. I would love to see 1960s snowstorm pics scanned online. Best decade we never lived...only a few privileged have experienced it like Jerry and Ginx (only part of it). Cannot wait until I'm that old fart telling everyone how epic December 1992 was in ORH in like the year 2050 if I am lucky enough to live that long.

Logan11 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 IMO its a hiccup run.... I could see the Friday thing biting the dust, but not the latter bigger system.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Looks like typical Euro stuff burying energy in the Southwest. 12Z might look 100% different. Normally I would agree but the 00Z GGEM does nearly the exact same with the energy in the SW U.S. cutting it off, meaning the Euro could be somewhat onto something....also the location the energy cuts off is a bit east of where the typical Euro bias cutting things off or slowing things down normally is.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sweet. GFS lost it too. It still has it, it just takes it a year and a day to eject out, as a matter of fact the 06Z GFS is so slow ejecting the system out of there we lose our cold air mass, get a moderating period and nearly have a new cold air mass in place by the time the storm is off the SE Coast.

I suspect the models are having huge difficulties resolving s/w's not yet in the eastern pacific theater within the sub context of the pattern change.

My memory of these occurrences in the past where we've seen models too slow ejecting systems is usually wrong, particularly without any true blocking and during a La Nina, if this was an El Nino and or we had a classic setup over the W ATL with the west based -NAO I might be more inclined to side with the slower solutions but its hard to in this pattern outside of the fact that PNA ridge is trying to amplify in that range, the amplification of that ridge could possibly kill us by enabling the significant downstream cutting off to the upper level system.
