calculus1 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I know. Just saying it would be a waste if it doesn't snow, and if it isn't going to snow, I'd rather just stay warm. But it looks like the system the middle of next week could open up something good for around here. Brick, you sound like a broken record. We are all fully aware of your opinion on cold without snow.

SnowNiner Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yeah, well I'm still punting December at this point. This whole storm for next week thing just isn't going to happen I don't think. Even if the 12z Euro comes true and bombs, it's still cold rain for most; and don't get me started on "backside" snow.... One opportunity I'm pondering is the last week of the month, as it seems like the GFS has a nice setup. But it's not really supported on the EURO as I understand, however EURO has been going the way of the GFS lately so I'm open to considering a POSSIBLE storm the end of the month. To me though I still define myself as punting December. I do like those Willy Wonka gifs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Because cold without snow is a waste and is miserable. Snow is fun. LOL....5 years running w/ the same quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopplerWx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 But will it bring the snow along for the ride, too? I don't care about cold if it doesn't snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It seems like things are starting to get good with the system next week. The trend is positive for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What are you talking about?? The system coming in the middle of next week could be the starting point for more to follow. It might not bring snow here, but it looks like there is another system coming behind it. Just good to see the pattern become more active and giving us more chances of getting some snow here. It's a good trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I will go on record saying I freaking Love snow. But I also love cold weather. Yes, I would prefer to have both. But I can stand the cold without snow. As a runner, I freaking hate the summer time (only when having to run when it is 80+). I look forward to sub 30 degree mornings!!! I love how some people on here "love" snow but don't want it to be cold unless we have snow to go along with it. Gots to have cold to get snow, give me cold first and I'll take my chances with any storm throwing precip on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 HAH! Well I wouldn't get your measuring sticks out just yet. The GFS did show a nice pattern from day 10/11-15, but what happens after day 15? The NAO/AO seem to be headed towards neutral.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good trend. I gotcha. I was just confused because you have historically and recently stated that you really are not interested in pattern analysis, data study, or forecast model evaluation and that you only care about whether or not a system is going to bring you snow. So...using that as a baseline, I constructed an incorrect supposition that you had concluded that the system was trending more favorably for snow in your back yard (when in fact, it was not), rather than the correct view that instead, in this case, you were analyzing this storm's effect on the overall evolution of the pattern and concluding that a more favorable pattern was setting up. In essence, you were analyzing instead of snapshooting. Makes more sense now that you explained it. I gotcha, Mr. Tamland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXeastern Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 and don't get me started on "backside" snow.... At this latitude synoptic snow is almost always on the "backside" of a low pressure system. I never really understood the people that say..."ahh its just some backside snow" whats even better is the people that say "its just some wrap around precip"..lol Its like they dont understand the flow around a low pressure system or something.

It does get old to hear the nutter talk about only being interested in snow and "wasting cold air". I'd gladly stand out in it and freeze my jacobs off if it meant less pollen and mosquitoes in the spring and summer. But, whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly stand out in it and freeze my jacobs off if it meant less pollen and mosquitoes in the spring and summer. But, whatever... Nice if it would work, but it doesn't. Tree pollen is lessoned by a mild winter followed by a late hard freeze that nips the early opening buds. Mosquitoes do fine in Maine, so a southern winter of any type isn't going to phase them. Drought is the best remedy, as it severely limits the standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If drought is best remedy for mosquitos,they should just about be extinct in Georgia and the Carolinas after the past few years! Nice if it would work, but it doesn't. Tree pollen is lessoned by a mild winter followed by a late hard freeze that nips the early opening buds.
