MidlothianWX Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I guess I should also add that Corpus Christi had ground equip problems and couldn't get a balloon up in two tries...so no 00Z sounding from them. There's pretty good coverage down there and the flow is fairly uni-directional in that area so might not matter too much. EDIT: I see data up to 825 mb before the flight terminated...so it's not nothing... Another choice for the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVAForecaster Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It was sort of like that game on the playground where the kid would yell "mystery box" and throw the ball - you thought it would contain the Euro. Instead, the JMA was inside. Actually, in this case, flipping those would be more relevant. But every once in a while someone is nice and it contains the NAM... And the game is called 500 or Jackpot FYI.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yes! Ohleary has provided a scapegoat in case the models don't show what we want. Whew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Living in NYC has made me aware of the positive benefits of the N trend much more frequently... in this case it's actually great for DC. It has happened with every storm this winter and I don't think this will be an exception; I like 4-6" for McLean, with the potential for those #'s to bust low, not high. Mock me all you want but these situations don't typically turn out bad for us, and I would expect a jog north on the models tonight into tomorrow.

real Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ahh yes Jan 25 2000 in the making thats what happened then here we go Correct me if I am wrong cause was in southern Virginia at the time. But if I recall correctly, March 2009 was also suppose to be a southern Virginia snowstorm that crept north at the last minute. I remember we were suppose to get our only snow of the year near Richmond. We did, like 6 to 9 inches, but DC also got 6 to 9 when they were not suppose to until the final day before?

BTJustice Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is it just me or has the NAM been super slow to generate since a couple of days ago when they said "JOB RUNNING LONG"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The N trend is awesome as it is certainly real in a majority of cases and it is heavily abused by weenies to give justification to absurd forecasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 As perhaps the only posting member of the "Jackpot" I thought I would come in here to gloat. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! Now, I have altruistic intentions of course. Usually, gloating during jackpot status always send the snow up north. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Euro is right and no north trend occurs your forecast will have been absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Indexes aside...with that vortex anchored near NFLD this weekend it is effectively a negative NAO. A two day interlude coming at exactly the right time for the Mid Atlantic as if it was divine intervention. I'm glad I'm gonna be in VA Sunday night..on my way home from FL.. What luck that was also. LOL While that technically may be true the NAO and AO are extremely close to neutral and were recently negative for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also talked about/worried about with every storm around here if we are in the bullseye, so it makes sense to at least think it may happen this time to give us a surprise 4"+.
