mackerel_sky Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Did the balloon POP hurt the skies healing? US National Weather Service Blacksburg VA With strong winds ushering arctic air into the NWS Blacksburg forecast area, tonight's weather balloon popped just outside of Richmond, VA!

packbacker Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I agree...DT seems excited though and Brad Panovich posted this.. Cool map with the possibilities...From todays run looks like GFS is option 1, UKIE is option 2 and Euro is option 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My yard is blighted with daffodils. They are everywhere. I'm glad to say, though, I've grown as a man, with more restraint, and I'm less demonstrative too. No longer do I rage about the yard stomping the cursed things back to hell, where they came from; but, rather, I smile calmly..... serenely accepting........ as I run the nasty little harbingers of spring over with the lawn mower!! Finally, on the 18z I see a storm I can hope to believe in...a low in Fla. with cold air near by. Frame 36 maybe? T Yes they are, along with the forsythia bushes edit...the 18z gfs gives me 33 and drizzle on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Its not SE weather but since I'm no longer shut out of seeing snow this winter i had to share. Today was crazy up here in Cincinnatti, 275 and 75 shut down because of two massive pile-ups due to a snow burst. I was on the outer edge of the snow shower that caused the accidents and while I just had light to moderate snow in the area I was working, less than 10 miles away had whiteout conditions. Crazy stuff. Back to your regularly scheduled banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My family said it was crazy on their way back to West Carrollton Luckily I wasn't near 75 or 275, but a 50 and 80 car pile up on the same day in the same area is just crazy. hoping Friday's storm can trend further south for y'all back home, plus should help keep it all snow here if that happens.http://wcpo.m0bl.net/ has good coverage of what happened, unfortunately a 12 year old girl lost her life while standing around the median after what I assume was the intial domino to fall in this event.

WilkesboroDude Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 What is the easiest way to get a text extraction from the GFS on a specific location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Well if you feel bad about our Jan 17th bust just look at New England. 6-12" with locally higher amounts forecast for Portsmouth NH and Portland ME. Right now the moon is out with a few clouds and all the returns look to be passing well south off the Cape and Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 During January 1985, how was the cold dispersed? LOL in my area yesterday, the record low was -1 set in 1985. -1. Ha! Then I went to check ATL record low and it was 18 set in 2009 and I check CLT and it's -5 in 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJ Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The way I view this winter is a mounting crescendo of expectations cause by the forecast of a cold, eventful winter, follwed by a plethora of cold weather in the long range which never materialized, and will end with a cascade of hopes falling into an early Spring and brutally hot/dry summer. Have a nice day everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The Euro is still holding fast to having some snow and ice around here this week. It wouldn't take a lot with that combo to cause some real problems on the road with the temps being so cold the next four days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
