usedtobe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 first, all the SREF runs had us in snow, so that's nothing new second, Tony's not a met, but he certainly can read models like the rest of us he's banking on a shift north, also like many have suggested I wouldn't get excited over his prediction, however, because if the models today shift south again he'll change it He's got a degree in meteorology from Northern Illinois U. so he's as much as a met as I am....heck maybe more since he still is actually working in the field.

Cool...the Fairness doctrine. I feel like this whiff to the south is like the Raven's season ending loss. Time for retail therapy. Who is going to Best Buy to pick up a plasma TV since we can't get good snows this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 nam looks kinda similar through 30...i think...though definitely looks a little wetter to the west...maybe a tick north...looks better defined at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Crap winters usually don't change this late in the season. A moderate to heavy snowfall, in spite of all the model promise the past several days, would have been highly unusual in a year like this. Just like expecting a north trend in a Nina year is risky, saying that a storm is unlikely just because the winter has been lacking snow until now is equally risky. There is some truth to persistence and seasonal trends, but there are also numerous examples of years where we had an aweful pattern in December/January then had a big snow in February/March. You have to weigh more factors into a forecast then pattern/persistence or trends. Each storm is a singular event, they relate to each other in that they are all connected within the wave patterns of the atmosphere but each will have its own tendencies and not necessarily follow a pattern of previous storms. The February 2006 storm came during the middle of a horrible pattern for snow. Our biggest problem with this specific storm is that during a nina getting the northern branch to interact with the STJ correctly is very difficult. The northern branch is screaming along in a zonal flow making it difficult to get good phasing. Northern branch systems tend to end up north of us at this latitude, and stj dominant systems end up being squashed by the fast northern branch flow instead of phasing. This is a known problem during a Nina pattern and why we don't tend to get big snows...it can happen but its rare. Simply saying its not going to snow because it hasn't snowed yet this year though is misleading and too simplistic. Sorry, rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's obvious how much you enjoying being perceived as a complete and total douche because you live out in the here yonder with a 3 walled outhouse in an area that gets a lot of snow. It's very smarmy and tool like and very off putting. Thanks for the good luck!!!!! The child like occupants of the Mid Atlantic are so grateful dude! *Now this is the part where you get a case of the "Who, me?!!?" and act like you were posting in good faith and we're just over sensitive.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I've been bringing up Jan of 2010 for a couple days now, and thinking about that event, if that low which was further south could push precip into a solid rock wall of cold air and confluence to our north, it sure seems that this moisture laden system would be able to shove up some precip into a much warmer airmass. I honestly think this north trend is just starting and will keep going through 0z. If I was on the southern side of the progged heavy snow, I'd be just a tad worried. More than a tad actually.

stormtracker Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Let me also say...I don't have a problem with New Englanders or anybody for that matter coming in to talk about an analyze the storm if they are here in good faith. Coastalwx, weathafella and Ginx (for the most part) and some others get a passport. It's the obvious trolls that give that region the awful reputation across the other forums. You can't come into another region's forum and condescendingly label them as child like and expect to get a warm greeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Why exactly is the republic of Massachusetts so concerned with our paltry little snow/non snow event?

I'm not counting on being saved like on 1/30/2010, but good luck. If I do get a decent event out of this, then I'll apologize to you, but I think the chance of that happening is low.
