The Lion's end to March banter and discussion, part deux!


Typhoon Tip

Recommended Posts

Horrible, slow-ass sport. I even say that with having an ex MLB player in my family.

edit: if they cut the season in half, I may actually give more of a crap. Plus my team sucks, year after year after year.

It is a thinking man's game for sure. This wind today is wicked. Confluence killer, maybe it's on the move enough for LL and the South coast gang ala March 06

lol.  Nothing to do with that.  It's boring, and dreadful to watch.  Take a look at the next Yakees game or which ever team you watch. Note the never ending parade of people up and down the aisles that can't sit still.  People know that when they buy a 50 dollar or more priced seat that they will be bored off of thier azzes within the first 2 innings, followed by milling around.  Even worse are the tools that you see with the REAL expensive seats behind home plate texting, and talking away not even paying attention.

not true fans. My family lives eats and sleeps baseball so we are polar opposites in that regard. We have a sign on the door that says please excuse our absence due to baseball season. I am looking forward to the upcoming season both pro and amateurs. My grandson has a loaded arm.

So GFS come north a hundred miles, let's see what happens at 00z. I am not dismissing a whiff nor a south of

Pike special. Too much going on to nail this within 50 miles.

Rgem came in pretty robust at 18z too. Only takes a little wobble to get southern areas pretty good. Verbatim the 18z rgem is a hard hitter right on the coast. CMC has been coming north for a few runs

Rgem 15mm plus for NYC this run and still going Monday

It's basically useless unless the synoptics have been figured out and the evolution is similar to the GFS/Euro. Otherwise it's garbage. Unfortunately, far too many people use it for things it's not designed to do. 

 

Haha, right - then get all amazed when it's wrong.

Hard to believe we are 36 hours from snow start time here and still so much disagreement in modeling. Lots of super amped ens in the 12z euro suite. GFS way NW now. Lol. Low low confidence forecast.

 

Actually it's a pretty high confidence forecast with pretty good model agreement. Maybe a period of -SN on the south coast but I'm pretty confident this is a miss.

I don't know John it's been terrible with all the norluns too.  If it's not good on the meso stuff, not good at all on larger synoptic stuff it's time to start over.  It's useless.  The 1 time out of 20 it's right, well that's probably just luck.

 

If we just had the Euro and GGEM I'd argue forecasts on average would not suffer at all.  

 

Heh, NORLUN's a beta-meso event that is rooted in a synoptic circumstance of having trailing mid level jet dynamics running over saturable air in the llvs, where the resulting convergence axis produces ...   That's still not a NAM wheel-house thing. 

 

I'm telling you, it's got very good convection signaling - it's documented.

honestly haven't been following closely enough to dissect the differences, i'll defer that to Rollo et al.

 

but ironic that this is the most northern GFS solution of the day, and significantly so, here in the Tebow timeframe

i am not paying attention at all just looking at models as they come in quickly. It will take a solid 0z suite to rope me in on this one. There are so many moving parts and so much disagreement on them with the models I don't see the point yet.

it seemed like this one was squashed but the CMC stuff wants to give it a shot and tbh it's been very good this winter.

in what winter context would the current NAM have any utility?

empirically, it's had a horrendous track record for almost all coastal lows, norluns, or snow-producing events of whatever scale this winter.

 

convection signaling... so should we unplug it Oct-Feb? clearly this is a difference from previous years. it seems NAM/ETA has always been considered an important part of winter storm guidance... I remember the days of the "EE rule". something has changed.

Not sure, really - there are certain unique scenarios where it can actually key in and do well;  there are likely case by case studies, and one would have to thoroughly understand them all to know ...or rather get a feel for when to use it.

 

But, that becomes an issue of pragmatism - as in, f* that!  Waste are lives digging up minutia and tedium to justify a NAM use?  

 

I do know that it smoked the other guidance back in the mid 2000's on several events - just not recently.   And I don't know the history of the model's maintenance - could also endemically be worse now.   Who knows!

The RGEM has reasonable continuity over previous runs.  If you extrapolate the 12z 48-hour depiction 6 hours it would align with this 18 run just fine.  RGEM did not come N really.

 

Yeah it's actually not really that much different.  It did handle the upper low to our NE differently though.  We'll have to see how that plays out later. 

 

But it's not the shift I thought when looking at the phone.

Exactly... there's enough collective memory on this board to recognize that something is off compared to the past, especially vs. the mid 2000s.

 

As CT Rain said, it's a shame. It used to add more value to winter forecasting.

We could have avoided alot of stress/confusion with a strict Euro/CMC combo this winter, as many agree.

 

As far as pragmatism and case studies and why NAM has brought stank this winter... agree. Bottomline dude, we just want snow, more and more of it lol, until the sun and skin are ready to beam. It's been an amazing 2nd half winter, whatever happens here on out.

One man's wishcasting is another man's discussion but somehow that is how it's perceived. Unfortunate really that it's gotten to the point that if we discuss things people have to jump in and degrade with attitude.

Yup. It's why Phil left unfortunately. Not allowed to discuss possibilities and if you lean positive you get accused of making things up and wishing upon stars
