psuhoffman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was thinking how ironic it was in the last two plains blizzards that we needed the 500 lows to come further east, but they ran to about Missouri and hit a brick wall. When we need one to slow a bit, it's a steam roller. I've come to agree with you about north vs west trends. yea, there are two different issues with this, the h5 track, and how quickly the surface low amplifies. The two are not completely independent, as we need the more phased solution to get the better surface low solution. Even if the h5 takes a perfect track if the surface low develops late we are screwed. I guess from my experience, getting the storm to amplify in time in these types of situations is the bigger problem versus getting it to track over us. I am not saying I have confidence this won't miss us to the north or south, just that I would rather see it nice and amped up and then take our chances on the track, then be needing the right track and worrying about if the storm will even develop in time.

NOVAForecaster Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ....Has anyone learned about disregarding the Euro this winter? It has been far better than the GFS for most events this year. Every time the GFS shows snow, it's hugged, and it turns out to be wrong. And now it doesn't show snow, and it's still hugged? I'm leaning Euro on this one, just due to it's track record this year.

TUweathermanDD Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Surprised relatively speaking how close the GFS was with the ULL that far south. I agree matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I necessarily believe the Euro, but I do agree with your statement. Everyone says, "What does the Euro say" when the GFS and NAM give us snow. When it's the other way around, the Euro isn't trusted. Weird crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I dont have the KU book handy, but I can't think of a storm with an ULL low that takes the GFS track and gives us a snowstorm...every time we got a snowstorm with that track, the northern stream dove in and pulled the ULL somewhere into eastern TN/SW Va before it could progress any further southeast GFS was kinda wrapped up this time with the ull even without a phase. We have such a long ways to go here. The closed ull to our ne will not be in the same spot or even close to the same spot as shown. Sure it's possible it could be a perfect modeled location but it would be be accident. I'm sure we'll be getting sucked in and gut punched a half dozen times but it's just another solution at a long lead that won't happen as shown. I would hedge on a further nw solution but still plenty of opportunity for a big whiff even with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 who is WX south? He is calling for a major snowstorm. Does he have any credibility? Seems like a hype guy He has been very good for NC storms this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Social Media Feedback Loop: 1) Find 8-day forecast of east coast storm 2) Post snowfall map 3) 8 days later (verification time) if snowstorm verifies then "Post on facebook noting your heroic forecast with an 8-day lead time" ....collect more followers endif if snowstorm doesn't verify then "Post on facebook that is was just one model solution---tell followers it was never your actual forecast" endif 4) Rinse and repeat Exact formaula.

clskinsfan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 FWIW. I am not going with either model. Because you can just about guarantee that neither one of them is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Of course he's saying that. He's wedded to the euro solution. But remember...it's not a forecast. If it doesn't happen as he describes it's because he was only showing how that one model solution would shake out. Say out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 euro is bouncing around it seems mainly. not sure there are any trends there. 0z night before last was a NW of 95 event into WV, 12z yday was a Cape May paster, 0z last night crushed ROA. I agree, I think the euro is definitely hitting the more phased solution between the lakes h5 low and the manitoba low, but other then that its bouncing around with the exact track and amplification of the surface low.

swva Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 For what it's worth, the Euro did show the New England blizzard this year well before the GFS. I definitely don't think it should be discounted, but let's see if we can have 2 runs in a row with a similiar solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 the GFS runs are getting worse and worse GFS is not budging with its solution of not phasing, for that matter it has the UKMET in its camp also. If the h5 low diving into the trough does not phase, there is no way its going to get the job done because the flow will remain suppressive with where the block is and the old dying new england low not getting out of the way in time. GGEM is off on is own planet right now with its solution, and the euro seems like its locked into a totally different evolution at H5 phasing the two streams very early on thus allowing a more amplified system. Usually I would feel better with the euro having 3 runs in a row with the phase, but this year the GFS has been schooling the Euro in the 5-10 day range with the one exception of the CT snowbomb.

psuhoffman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 yeah, i think the last three runs are more or less in the same type of camp.. specifics are tricky. tho it is still a week out so they should be... agreed, we need the h5 phased solution of the euro to be right, then hope for luck with the track. THe GFS evolution, we would need to get really lucky to have that work out. I know it seems close, but looking at the h5 I just dont see how that is going to overcome the suppressive flow without a more phased solution between the two h5 lows.

psuhoffman Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Maybe the GFS solution isnt bad since it will probably trend north...The last thing we need is something that flushes us and the ULL ends up north of its modeled solution..1/22/05, 12/30/00 I think a lot is likely to change in how this sytem evolves, but given the h5 setup on the GFS I just dont see how that could end up a snowstorm for our area. The flow is downright hostile without the phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 did it finally give up on its phased solution? Still coming - I just meant that it allows for less obsession over the 6+ day timeframe where specifics don't matter. Not that it wasn't fun to have.
