southmountainwx Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sheesh. The models are suddenly beginning to suppress this storm southward. The latest GFS and NAM show no precip at all north of southern Iowa. This is one scenario I had thought was off the table. Great news!! Im sitting less than 4" of snow this season.. While getting less precip, looks like a better chance of plowable snows here in Ottumwa area. Its been really hard on us lanscaping guys 1st the summer drought then the snow drought with little snow removal needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 CMC 60-72hr shows a sneaky snow right through Ohio, low track is in a favorable position. Still hope left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 NAM is showing WAA/Warm front precipitation that could be rain or wet snow. Looks like it is going to be close. Front moves e-w along ohio river it looks like.Could get a few hours of snow. If the GFS starts to show what NAM, and CMC show I will start to believe it.

They could at least entertain the possibliliy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 What is it that is making this storm die so quickly when it moves east? I would think once it got near the GOM it would get stronger. What gives. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think once it got near the GOM it would get stronger. What gives. lol Look at H5. The whole flow over the NE US is confluent. Plus a vort dropping in from the northern stream quashes the closed low in the central plains as it moves east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would be nice for some areas of the plains to get some moisture things are quite dry out there. Even if this one is a bag of crap for most of us the plains do deserve a little love. BTW can the non constructive bull**** posts end already, I didn't need to read 5 people saying lol for no reason.

stormtracker Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm getting a lot of complaints about this thread and this forum in general.

michsnowfreak Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would be nice for some areas of the plains to get some moisture things are quite dry out there. Even if this one is a bag of crap for most of us the plains do deserve a little love. BTW can the non constructive bull**** posts end already, I didn't need to read 5 people saying lol for no reason. The Plains, like everyone, have had a non-winter, even much less than we have had. But in addition to that theyve had drought issues, so yeah let them have some moisture. But whats funny is that this too looks to be a pretty narrow band of snow, so I suspect this storm may disappoint many snowlovers even in that region. With the natural model oscillations of a narrow snowband, someones backyard is gonna be bullseyed 4 days out and they will end up with almost nothing when the storm actually happens (see northern IA).
