February 2013 mid-long range disco thread

What's with the second low in the Midwest?.

 

 

GGEM is deciding to dig the s/w behind it obscenely SE...prob bogus. But that actually acts to kick the main one E a bit. Without that, GGEM prob would have been a harder hit. Anytime you have the vortmax traveling under DC within 100-150 miles, its a legit threat even if models aren't gung ho on it. That happened in the 1/30/10 storm where they kept trying to keep the heavy snow in NC and S VA but the vortmax was tracking through WV and into S VA...it synoptically didn't seem to make a lot of sense. This vortmax tracks through NC to about ORF, so pretty good, but would need to be a tad more amped to produce well.

 

I wouldn't expect a huge event or anything at this point, but I think it can produce at least something better than a cartopper.

Thanks Will, glad you got hammered today. Some of those pics from up there are unreal.

thump events work if the dynamics are right....it doesnt matter if it is 50 degrees......they work here...they work in Atlanta GA....they work in Jackson MS...they work in bizarre places when the dynamics are nuts and/or something cuts off....

My main concern is that the euro is right. We aren't goin to do well with.1" liquid.

Back to the weather, the event looks good on a solid 0z suite thus far, Euro needs to dr.yes us. 

Yes, I think things overall look pretty good for the VD storm.  As you say, it would be nice if the Euro would come more on board.  I still think the possible so-called PD3 storm still has potential.  GFS has consistenly been digging a huge trough, it's a matter of how it's handled in the end as to whether it's a bomb or just a northern stream low that pushes a strong front through (in either case, looks cold for awhile behind it).

did Kev get 35?....do you think the 40" reports are legit?

 

 

Most people don't think the 40" totals are legit. There's always bogus weenie totals in large events. My neighboring town reported 34.5"...not a chance they got 6" more than me. I havent investigated the Kevin total, I don't think Ryan believes it though. The other poster from Tolland had 28-30" I think.

the NYC gradient was sick...23" in Yonkers and 6" at JFK...so dirty if you lived south and east

 

only big storms I can remember like that here would be March 93, March 58 for blockbuster events

funny thing on twitter today was the nyc journos saying the storm was minor and localized because nyc didnt get demolished

Yes...though if you lived a bit more east on LI, you cleaned up. central LI had totals that SNE got. SW LI did terrible though (relatively speaking) near JFK.

just because we have short memories, here was the 78 hr forecast of the GFS issued on the 12Z 2/5/13 run

don't tell me the Euro was the only one that had the blizz and the gfs was that bad

here's the 84 hr map same run

http://charlie.wxcaster.com/GFSArchive.php?datetime=2013020512Z&fcsthour=84&type=1000-500_SLPTHKPRP

 

now, reconsider what the GFS is showing for us tonight at or slightly beyond that range
