usedtobe Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wes is the slowest damn typist I know. That's because I was looking for an image and then my computer burped. No one is going to like what I've got to say anyway, this may be a cold pattern but not one that get big snowstorms. Instead it favors clippers if anything.

Ian Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 anal_snow_pattern.gif The negatives on the current map are generally where you want the positives to get a big storm. who needs a big storm when we can deep freeze for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 who needs a big storm when we can deep freeze for nothing. I guess we could luck out with the shearing trough before the vortex really drops south but then we might be too warm. It's a pattern where you can get clippers over the great lakes to screw things up and then have cold air plunge and freeze. Of course, when there is cold you can always luck out and have a better chance at getting an inch or two than when you are torching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I like arctic air masses. Even a small amount of snow cover just enhances the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Everyone has been so excited over the cold but I hate the large scale features in the flow for getting a significant snow event. Maybe I am different in how I look at it, but I usually focus on looking for the H5 pattern to get a favorable storm track, then hope the cold works out. Looking at just temperatures seems to be a waste, it can be 10 one day and rain or freezing rain (YUCK) the next if the storm track sucks.

WVclimo Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You will get lake effected to death. I'm jelly We'll see. I'm not in a great spot for it, but better than most places as far east as I am. Some local orographics help with certain trajectories. I did have a couple of small snowfalls just prior to the deep freeze in 2009, which helped me bottom out at -5F one morning. Looking for similar if today's runs are accurate.
