weathervswife Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I can't remember the dates, but I guess it was around Thanksgiving. Wasn't the Euro honking snowstorm over and over, and eventually folded to the GFS? I remember thinking the king has lost his crown regarding the winter pattern. It won the Sandy war, but that was primarily a tropical system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ger Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Like Ian's been saying...18z gfs just wants to go hog wild lately. I don't think anybody can deny that it's *possible* to get all snow. It's just going to take some perfect events leading up and perfect placement of those leftovers in the following days. Maybe it's time to say snow covered deep dish pizza is off the table now? I'm certainly a weenie but let me remind everyone of just how all-snowish our storms have been since 2008-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 GFS has been known to kick things east to fast at this time range. I'm going Euro, except further west. That is if the world doesn't end tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Me thinks that a thread dedicated to the XMmas morning and the 27th storm should be created, leaving the obs for rain and wind obs in the next 48 hrs. Go for it. I think it's close enough to that storm and it appears fairly certain to happen, so we can split it out. Probably not on topic but I just got accepted to the Penn State University for the Meteorology program! Congrats! That's my alma mater, so I'm biased, but I think it's one of the best. Have fun!

Bob Chill Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yep, State College! Nice job! There has always been a part of me that has wished I pursued a degree in atmospheric science but I'm too old to stress about it. I'll live vicariously through those that do and pretend like any good weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtstack Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yep, State College!congrats I graduated in 2001 with a bs in meteorology. It's a very math and physics intense program. Get ready to differentiate equations. I Never went into professional meteorology but i did land a job in environmental consulting. The math is quite intense and many people who start in meteo end up switching majors. Psu was the best time of my life though and you are gonna love it. WE ARE....PENN STATE!!!
