beanskip Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Actually both the closed lows are in SD -- very close to each other on UK and GFS 0z runs. GFS is in NE... UKIE is in N SD.... UKIE would be better for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Bob Ryan loves the GFS https://twitter.com/BobRyanABC7/status/307708556277334017 Didn't I read on here earlier that he essentially discounted any real possibility that this storm would affect us? Which seems rather brash this far out...I mean, it's tricky but I sure wouldn't wave it off right now. You've got to at least acknowledge it's a real and potential threat, surely that's possible to do without worrying about "hyping". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I feel like the GFS just spit out a lot of QPF with the bowling ball sol'n over NC. When most think of phasing they think a massive storm. If we were to hypothetically get hit by a or b, would the amount of snow be that much different providing cold air was actually there. Usually with a phase we have more cold, but in a situation where that was not an issue, with a bowling ball that strong I have a feeling the solutions wouldn't vary too much in magnitude. Otoh, could it be ever bigger if a n/s phased with a 3 closed contour s/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ukie & GFS look pretty much the sam except the Ukie is a bit farther North with the closed ULL. Ukie has pretty much been a whiff all along, hasn't it? So not a big change from what it has been showing? Unless it's farther north than its previous cycles.

PhineasC Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Euro will stay the course. GFS just doing it's typical nonsense. We aren't in the heartbreak screw-zone where all models abandon us yet. The GFS has never kept a major storm for 10 days straight. I think this is some kind of algorithmic rule in the programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bombing at 120 just NE of HSE... h5 and h7 are nearly co-located on top of the 993 low... then moves NE and deepens to 973 at 144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've been chilling out in the Oakland cabin making gnomes and birdhouses, but the GGem was recently upgraded and is verifying much better.

clskinsfan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Until they can produce a readable map, does it matter? Like Yoda said. Look at the 500 and 700. Its a monster storm. N/W of the cities is getting destroyed at 120. Edit: Hell the cities are getting destroyed. But it is the GGEM. And I am a weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ggem looks like crap compared to last 2 runs to me. I feel like we're caught in between here. We are in the transition of seeing phasing sol'ns to the bowling ball alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
