Thundersnow12 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Does that mean cold? Yes and quite cold. I think were going to see several big weather makers in March with the warm and cold air doing battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosaints Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Interesting the GFS has a little cold mixed in too but it never has any staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yes and quite cold. I think were going to see several big weather makers in March with the warm and cold air doing battle. good. I need 8 inches of snow on the grass and trees by April 15 to collect on all my seasonal contracts? Here is to 60 degree days followed by 2-4 inch backside snows. (grass only.)

michsnowfreak Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yes and quite cold. I think were going to see several big weather makers in March with the warm and cold air doing battle. The differences between the GFS and EURO at hour 240 are astounding. If you live in the Plains/upper midwest, the EURO says its January and the GFS says May lol. (perhaps slight exaggeration, but not much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Torch yes, snow potential very high too IMO. Up and downs of early March can cause some serious snows. I will enjoy the warmth till some cold returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are definetly pointing towards an early spring. At least for awhile up here. GFS continues to show lots of torches followed by very brief cooldowns. The Canadians seem to agree. No access to the extended EURO, but EURO weeklys agree as well if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Damn, the 12z GFS is WARM! It barely has us going below 50 degrees for a low temp from Tuesday through mid month. That would be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beavis1729 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The joke of a winter continues in the Midwest. The below stats are for Chicago (ORD), but I'm sure other locations are similar. Number of Days with a low temp < 16F (seasonal totals), 1959-present (ORD) Most 1. 70 (1977-78) 2. 69 (1976-77) 3. 59 (1962-63) 4. 59 (1964-65) 5. 58 (1981-82) Fewest 1. 9 (2011-12) 2. 12 (1997-98) 3. 18 (1986-87) 4. 22 (1998-99) 5. 22 (2001-02) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I've scheduled March 14-21 as my "snow won't come to me so I'll go to the snow" roadtrip. Unfortunately, if the GFS is right, there won't be a flake of snow within 1000 miles of me. Worst winter ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might've gone down to the 40s only a handful of times at my parent's place. Definitely no sub-40 temps in the southeast coast metropolitan areas. Not that uncommon to have winters like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The Euro has been very inconsistent beyond next Tuesday, flopping back and forth between continued mild and cold trough. The GFS has been much more consistent keeping the mild pattern in place for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Did it initialize wrong? At work can't check it. For such a long range prog, proper initialization isn't really going to be a major factor, unless it's really egregious. And from the superficial look I took at the 0hr prog, no, it initialized fine. It's just not being really consistent with how it handles the large scale pattern beyond 168. We've gone from full latitude C US trough, to progressive/warm GFS like pattern, to a major cutoff low, all in the space of three runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosaints Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yes, but be wary. Thanks, also am wary of the GFS solution as that seems pretty radical as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 GFS has the entire storm between noon and 6 pm pretty much. Gonna be fast and furious. Biggest problem I see is surface temps, they might be above freezing for parts of the storm which would ruin accumulations a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
