feloniousq Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Some of these gusts definitely seem stronger than Sandy's top gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I laid in bed for over an hour just watching the trees sway and listening to the windows rattle. I'm going to take the dog out in the woods today for a while. I've always been a big fan of dressing right and spending time outdoors when it's cold and windy. Not sure why but it's fun.

aldie 22 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 In 09-10 we looked at every available model during the lead up to storms including the Brazilian and the CRAS...the last two years we completely dismiss or don't even mention them plus other semi major models like the GGEM and UKMET. Does that mean the solutions that the GGEM and UKMET are spitting out are worthless? Do they have any value at this point because I believe neither is showing a transfer...just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 FWIW mapgirl is now a mom and is doing well. Also, I call bust on both storms for anyone south and east of I-81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure sticking with the 2 best performing globals is good enough. I let everybody else disect the crass and kfs and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you about those bozo models...we did it back then because every dang model showed us in the bullseye and we were just riding high...but the GGEM and UKMET have had skill scores comparable to at least the GFS at times I recall...not sure about now but I have seen the scores in the past...who knows...I'm just bored and feel like typing this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Few flurries this am. Wind screamed all night here, stayed in mid to upper 20's with gusts in 40's most of night. Highest gust was 52 mph around 4:30 am. Just enough snow to call it 0.1, had 0.01 of melt in what gauge caught. Got from nothing to around 1.5 inches on ground against fixed objects where the wind blew it. Could be an interesting week depending on exact track of next two systems.

Bob Chill Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 A girl Big ol' 9 pounder I called it! With a baseless superstition of course. And that fact that 50/50 odds are good.... A trying couple of months are ahead. Enjoy the crap out of them even if sleep deprivation starts getting the best of you. Really glad to hear it went without a hitch!

Bob Chill Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm gonna go walk in the woods and see if the 40mph gusts can knock some of the disgust I have with the latest set of runs. If it doesn't work there is a really deep lake at the nature center that I can walk into. Or I can just walk into traffic. There's a solution to my problems.

Bob Chill Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 But just think how quickly time has flown while chasing this storm. Once you get passed 40, time flying by is never a good thing. 3 mile hike in the wind was pretty awesome I have to say. I didn't feel like jumping in the lake at all. Quite the opposite. Dog was diggin it too.Time for a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
