Can we salvage a White Christmas in SNE?

Sounds like you agree with me then.

Yeah, in terms of basic forecast thinking. I've liked your general calls for the past week or two.

I was just thinking how it's nice to have a little cooler airmass in the midst of a warm stretch. And then I read your mentioning of BL issues. It just seemed like a glass half empty kind of thing to say. Wouldn't it be great to have BL issues... would mean it was actually snowing somewhere. :P

Well I mentioned BL issues just to not get people thinking we have an arctic airmass over us. This event would likely come from isentropic lift/WAA so the south coast can be vulnerable in that if our airmass isn't super cold.

Doesn't mean they can't snow. But it could be above freezing...perhaps mixing...who knows. More of a general caution about the setup if it were to occur

Dude, its not a major event....its a weak wave.

While not detailed, it was accurate.

What is your problem??

It wasn't accurate at all. Look at the charts. H3 and H5. The wave goes northwest of us. Moderate QPF through the Ohio Valley into southern NY. If you have a red tag you should act like it.

The ensembles have even less of a signature. It's silly to waist time talking about it when other models don't agree. We are also 5 days out. Why get detailed over stuff that doesn't mean much?

It's a 1018 low under us. If he wants 300mb winds, frontogenesis values, and ageostrophic wind vectors.....sorry I disappointed.

Look again man. And this time look at more than the surface. The s/w goes right through the Lakes and wraps well NW of us. The weak surface low to our south is the natural response to the coastal baroclinic zone any time there is vorticity advection in our vicinity. But the synoptic evolution is clearly quite different than you are describing.

Who cares though? It means little in the grand scheme of things when models don't agree much. There isn't a need for in depth analysis.

No no coastal, you've got to elaborate on every facet of the solution the models disagree on (that is never going to happen verbatim) using as many words and numbers as possible. Then when you finish everyone can just reply "... So is it gonna snow?"
