Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 UKMET will probably have a cutter. You know, the thought sort of crossed my mind that one last kick in the groin would be for the 00Z Euro to suddenly go to our west, giving us rain and 40s all day Sunday. The tiny silver lining with all solutions going way south now is that at least Sunday will be halfway decent out (well, compared to getting washed out all day).

The true kick would be if the models wrap up the storm more and back it into SNE. Yeah, think about that one for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathervswife Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yep, RGEM has snow up to Philly. Was GGEM north at 12Z too? The switch to short range in the globals usually jerks south and corrects once within 48 hours. Living in VA I usually get my hopes up only to have them dashed once the blue line moves back north within 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, there's a grain of truth to my December comment. There were actually some cherry blossoms late that month! Though I thought I heard that's not all that uncommon for some of those cherry tree species (have seen it before during warm spells in winter). Yes, the Festival is kind of cool and seeing the blooms is quite impressive around the tide pool area (Jefferson Memorial, etc.). However, the massive crowds kind of makes it a pain, but if you can withstand that it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah now that would be a true kick! Sad thing is, that solution would be more likely to happen than a so-called late "north trend" to get us back in the game.

baroclinic_instability Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 It's a really weird progression to me. I guess I found it so hard to believe because the confluence just didn't seem so oppressive that it would make the low start heading due east (and even a touch south of east on this run) in freaking middle Georgia while temps here are in the upper 30s to 40. Main reason it does that is actually the progression from leeside cyclogenesis to baroclinic development along the warm front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, know what you mean. I live here and have only gone a couple of times down to the Mall, etc., for that event. It really is crowded! And, to be honest it ticked me off seeing people climb all over these 80-90+ year old trees. I mean, really. It is quite a sight though when all those trees are in full bloom.

Inudaw Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 not you inudaw.. im just trolling anyway. i havent looked that closely down there. Don't worry I have not put out a forecast really all winter. And this one has not been that fun. With the initial boundary layer issues.. and the colder trend the past 24 hours or so. Also the drier look to it as it gets up to this region. Bunch of small factors adding up. I was prepared for the old .... rain to to a little snow here at the beginning. Now that's not even what might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamHLG Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I can't believe I got sucked into this storm. 4 days ago I should have bailed. 18 years I have followed storms since the days of internet relay chat #neweather. I'll never learn. This was never going to happen it was a pipe dream. Shame on me. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
