TUweathermanDD Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 QPF is overrated. To be honest, you're right. I'm sorry, its all about the synoptics, sw energy, dominant low. My apology to all, I've been focusing too much on QPF, thats not all its about. Credit to you matt, you woke me up a bit on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HM Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I value his opinion dont get me wrong but I feel here lately he has been over the top....meltdown last week and just his negativity in general...... I disagree. I agreed with his concerns in the medium range and stated just that in the philly subforum that I think the southern solutions were correct for last week's system. How you interpret that isn't his problem. I don't think it is for you or me to judge if he is being over the top. He usually let's you know if he is and then he gets over it and becomes objective again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Lol. Really? I melted down last week but I was 100% correct in the end I have given a number examples of these setups....these all are different to some extent but when you get something from the west or NW thrown into a dome of cold air there is bust potential...even in Ninos (1/22/05, 1/16/03) 3/99 is an anomaly as it blew up right over us...I think late season we do better in these setups anyway in terms of not getting robbed 1/88 and 1/82 and maybe 2/2/96 and 1/26/87 are probably the best case scenarios (8-10") when you have a quick mover into a frigid antecedent air mass and those all had a more robust southern stream and happened in better winters.....I like us to get at least 1-2" and maybe more....nothing wrong with that...

EVERYONE needs to keep their expectations in check. This doesn't have the looks of a 4-8 incher. Expect 2-4" and you'll be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Really, if we get .25" of qpf, its a 3-5" storm. I know ratios are for 24hr or less, but its cold on the Euro, snow growth would presumably be optimal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 1-3 / 2-4 was being heralded by the masses as the greatest thing since a grilled cheese cooked in butter just a couple days ago... lol There is time anyways. Sure it could go either way but I doubt the dried up prune solution of the gfs is right. Some things can help. Let's get past the weak clipper tomorrow and see how 500 and the strength of the sw looks. Just a couple miles and mb's can make a world of diff.
