clskinsfan Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Sharp cutoff west to east across northern va but DCA within 100 miles of significant snows. Umm. Yeah. I'll take my 12 inches and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So the xmas s/w and s/w that causes the Miller A-B storm both originate from the E PAC trough / developing Omega Block. These two waves kick out as the block shoots over the N.P. to merge with the -NAO block. I can't imagine why the last 4 GFS runs have all been very different! Time to sample the North Pacific! Send out the crews... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 12z also wants to bring in the cold on the long range, and it wants to get some sub-tropical moisture into the mix. I'll believe it when I see it, but I believe Don Sutherland has been fixated on the early-January timeframe for a while. It'd be pretty impressive if he nails it.

wxdude64 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 OK, let' me put this in the right thread, stuck it in wrong one earlier..... Well, isn't this a surprise......sleet and 39 degrees. About 25 minutes of pure sleet, just enough to whiten the elevated decks and car windshields. Now a mix of rain and sleet. Had about 0.03 liquid precip so far. Another big miss by forecast, they were calling for rain showers by late afternoon and a 48 high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I realize that Wes isn't honking for the New Year pattern, but I do like when he starts to make posts like the one below. Given very limited knowledge, it even seems to me like the pattern - as modeled - is looking pretty good for early January, and is certainly the best look we've had so far. If anyone sees Lucy, give her a forearm shiver to the throat. I don't have much to say except that the super ensemble mean for D+8 is the nicest so far by far. The pattern is shown has 3 analogs that produced a 4 inch storm within 3 days of the centered mean, dec 1966, Dec 2009, Jan 1, 2001. It also had another that fell witin 5 days. That big of storm is so limo unusual that having 3 analog dates clustered that closely suggests that the pattern finally is one that is above average for snowfall. The D+11 also isn't that different. I looked for the D+11 Centered mean from Dec 2009 I know I posted it on Eastern back in the day but must have deleted it and then eastern lost all the graphics for the dec thread. Anyway, here's the 500, I still suspect that the coming storm post christmas will be mostly rain but not with nearly as much confidence as earlier. The pattern on the superens mean is a pretty good one through the new year. Of course the models have been all over the place so it would be nice to see the pattern hold for a few days before going completely ga ga on it.
