TUweathermanDD Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hopefully one of them will be more than a carduster If i get .5" 6 times in 8 days ill be happy, it'll be snowing in many instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 in terms of potential here is how I would rank them 4 3 2 5 6/1 Is 4 the date? So feb 4 has the most potential? What is 6/1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Is 4 the date? So feb 4 has the most potential? What is 6/1? no... those are the threat #s, euro had 6 threats for snow for us and he is ranking them by which threat has the best chance to give us snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 no... those are the threat #s, euro had 6 threats for snow for us and he is ranking them by which threat has the best chance to give us snow so the first 1 and last one are the least likely to give us anything...4th is the best one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUweathermanDD Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 so the first 1 and last one are the least likely to give us anything...4th is the best one The last one according to him has potential but its dicey and has lack of model agreement.

Bob Chill Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It's going to be a fun period. Probably the best week for enthusiasts in years (literally). The only thing you can really take away from the globals is that the small threats exist. Each will be unique in its own way and sr guidance will be relied on for accuracy. I'd be willing to bet that the current "wettest" threat on the euro is wrong and one of the others will end up being the best irt precip. I really liked the 700 panels on the GFS. If we're going to get a widespread 1-3" we're going to need extra juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUweathermanDD Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have no problem with that but if today is any indication, it all blows away in a few hours after each "event". Eh depends, this one sorta was "bombing" in relative terms, I gotta admit if we can get one of these to do that, which I'd give the 3rd threat a chance at, we could cash in. This morning was impressive, there were some serious bands of pouring snow in certain places. Some localized parts received 8 inches in 4 hours.

mitchnick Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I find these model runs to be so disgusting the vort comes down, precip is breaking out, albeit light, but precip nonetheless and then boom....there's next to nothing, if not, nothing qpf-wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I see more than nothing likely, the vort is still impressive, and I'd leave it to tomorrow right before the 2 waves to get any definitive answers. This is one of those times where vorts being frequent can be too much of a good thing for us, not enough room to let moisture get backed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could copy and paste some of these images, take away the time stamp, and you wouldn't know if you were looking at tomorrow, Sunday, Tuesday, yesterday, last Friday. I know exactly what I want. I want (in the next three weeks) an Ohio Valley storm with CAD. I know those don't help some, but they seem to never fail in my neck of the woods. I'm sick to death wondering if I'm gonna get 0.00 or 0.05 while watching areas all around me get precip as if it were nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have no problem with that but if today is any indication, it all blows away in a few hours after each "event". Or melts/sublimates away. There's simply not enough snow to keep the ground covered once the sun comes out and/or the winds pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderdog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I know what I want. I want this next clipper to bomb out on the coast near Boston. Then I want the next clipper to pass to our south; bomb out on the coast, then with the previous clipper acting as a block, force the Clipper to our south to move Northwest. back into the Mid Atlantic.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What's your total for the year? I have probably seen a total of 5" since Jan. '11. So because I saw snow on bookend days around Christmas, I'm not supposed to be tired of seeing the same solution on the models daily? I don't care how much snow you've had. Not my problem. I want snow. But first I think I'm gonna need precip. I'm not gonna pretend to like seeing a trough consistently to my east, I don't spew too much negativity here. If my dislike for seeing virtually the same thing modeled daily bothers you, tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 What's your total for the year? I have probably seen a total of 5" since Jan. '11. I sympathize with you; I wish everyone in the region would get pasted with a MECS.... once or twice per week, but there is a big difference in climo between Alexandria and out here...especially at WinterWX's location in NW Fred Co with some elevation. While we did much better in Dec relative to you urbaners, we aren't that much different than you relative to our climo. WinterWx's climo is better than mine, but I've seen about 11 inches or so since Jan'11 and my climo is nearly double yours. We're all splitting hairs here; these past 3 winters have SUCKED for everyone in this region. Well, except for southern VA, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty good about being positive about snow even if it's not me getting it. It was fun for me to watch the radar this morning down in DC. But whether I've had snow or not doesn't mean I can't say I'm tired of seeing the same thing over and over. I'm sure it won't last forever, but it's old right now. Hopefully some of the upcoming chances will produce for us. Maybe Wes can conjur up something. Bob and Matt seem to like our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
