I raise the white flag of surrender....

Only because, after reading everything since page 31, I feel like I have been beaten up... I thought about climbing on buckeye's bus, but then, I decided to just grab the bumper and skitch the bus for a little bit...

Trying to track this storm.....gave up on that too.. For some reason, just not all that interested in this thing anymore... however, since I do find the analysis surrounding it informative, I will continue to read the thread.

you're going nowhere, i got you ankle cuffed to the backseat....

we're all goin' over together :devilsmiley:

Lol well we have a slim chance. Id like our chances better if every model hadn't moved south, basically our only prayer now is an apps runner or for this thing to be a 96 repeat and swing that comma head back here and bomb us, both of which are 5% long shots at what are we at now 3 days out or 4? Keeps slowing down lol

Actually can't really count on that. the only reason 96 got us so far west was it's incredibly slow movement and massive high to the north....neither of which will apply this time around. In fact 96 was not that strong of a storm pressure-wise.

I now I am an outlier in this thought but I honestly don't think the timing of the phase or the eventual positioning of the PV is terribly important. It shows the potential for the EC bomb and that timing wise it isn't thread the needle like last event. The strength of the PV to incite sufficient cyclogenesis to alter the CAA and development of the trough eastward is key. The CMC shows that and has a significant amount of low level CAA before the phase with the eventaul PV playing little role except to increase equatorward CAA.

IND AFD

FOCUS OF THE EXTENDED REMAINS ON COMPLEX SPLIT STREAM FLOW WITH

POTENTIAL WINTER WEATHER FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IMPACTING THE

TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS BEFORE PHASING. THE INFLUENCE OF THE

GREENLAND BLOCK AND PRESENCE OF THE POLAR VORTEX CONTINUING TO KEEP

SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM WELL TO OUR SOUTH AND A BIT SLOWER...WITH

MOST OF THE 12Z MODEL GUIDANCE NOW FOCUSING THE SYSTEM E/SE FROM THE

SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST BY EARLY CHRISTMAS DAY. AT

SAME TIME...PIECE OF UPPER LEVEL ENERGY DIGGING ON BACK SIDE OF THE

POLAR VORTEX ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY LATE FRIDAY INTO

SATURDAY. THE ENERGY WILL STRENGTHEN AND AMPLIFY THE UPPER LEVEL

TROUGH OVER THE WEEKEND...CONSEQUENTLY PULLING LOW PRESSURE

NORTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES BEFORE PHASING INTO A POWERFUL

NOREASTER RIDING UP THE EAST COAST BY SUNDAY.

ECMWF HAS REMAINDER REMARKABLY CONSISTENT WITH MAINTAINING THE

SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY WELL TO THE SOUTH ALONG THE GULF COAST WHILE

MUCH OF THE REST OF THE MODELS HAVE WAFFLED THEIR TRACKS FROM

SOUTHERN TENNESSEE TO THE GULF COAST DEPENDING ON TIMING AND THE

DEGREE OF THE INITIAL PHASING WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY.

OVERALL THOUGH...THERE HAS BEEN A NOTED SHIFT SOUTH OVER THE LAST

TWO DAYS AND THIS CAN NO LONGER BE IGNORED. MAIN IMPACT THIS FURTHER

SOUTH TRACK WILL HAVE FOR THE OHIO VALLEY IS TO DIMINISH POTENTIAL

SNOWFALL TOTALS FROM WHERE THEY WERE A FEW DAYS AGO. AT THIS POINT

IN TIME...THIS SYSTEM IS REALLY GOING TO BE TOO FAR SOUTH TO OFFER

MUCH INFLUENCE ON POSSIBLE SNOWFALL. WITH THAT BEING SAID...THE

PRESENCE OF THE NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY AND THE AMPLIFYING NATURE OF

THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY STILL SHOULD

OFFER GOOD FORCING AND LIFT TO PRODUCE A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW OVER

THE REGION CHRISTMAS EVE INTO EARLY CHRISTMAS DAY WITH CYCLONIC FLOW

LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA CHRISTMAS DAY

AND SUNDAY. HAVE DELAYED SNOW ONSET UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING FOR

MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH HIGHEST 60 POPS NOW FRIDAY

AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ALL WEEKEND WITH

EXPECT CONTINUATION OF SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.

WHILE THE ECMWF OFFERS THE MOST CONSISTENT OF MODEL SOLUTIONS OVER

THE LAST 24-48 HOURS...DO NOT PARTICULARLY CARE FOR ITS QPF

PRESENTATION OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. PRESENCE

OF MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND DEFORMATION WITH DECENT MOISTURE AND

LIFT ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD PROMOTE WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOW DURING

THE TIMEFRAME. SWATH OF LIGHT QPF ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM

GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF DRYING UP OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BEFORE

TRANSITIONING ITS ENERGY TO THE PHASING OF THE COASTAL SYSTEM...AND

THIS SEEMS HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE. ON THE FLIP SIDE...THE GGEM

CONTINUES TO CRANK OUT HIGHER SNOWFALL TOTALS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY

AND THE PLACEMENT OF BEST DEFORMATION/FRONTOGENESIS DOES NOT SUPPORT

THESE AMOUNTS AT ALL. THE OP GFS AND MANY OF THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS

CONTINUE TO HOLD TO THE IDEA OF A MODEST LIGHT SNOWFALL FROM FRIDAY

MORNING INTO EARLY SATURDAY WHICH CONSIDERING AVAILABLE DYNAMICS IN

ASSOCIATION WITH THE UPPER TROUGH SEEM QUITE REASONABLE.

AT THIS POINT...THINK A POTENTIAL 2 TO 4 INCHES DURING THE FRIDAY

MORNING-SATURDAY MORNING TIMEFRAME IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FORECAST

AREA WITH POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS FROM WHAT IS

INCREASINGLY LOOKING LIKE ANOTHER IDEAL SETUP FOR IMPRESSIVE LAKE

EFFECT SNOWS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WHILE QPF VALUES APPEAR LIKELY TO

BE LOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...RATIOS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A

BIT HIGHER WITH COLDER AIR MORE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED. THESE TOTALS WILL

MOST CERTAINLY BE ADJUSTED UP OR DOWN AS MODEL TRENDS ALIGN IN THE

NEXT DAY OR TWO. STILL SOME QUESTIONS IN THE DETAILS...AND MUCH

BETTER SAMPLING TO THIS SYSTEM WILL COME OVER THE NEXT 2 OR 3 MODEL

RUNS AS SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM MOVES ONTO THE CALIFORNIA COAST

WEDNESDAY AND NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY DROPS SOUTH FROM JAMES BAY. THE

INTERACTION...OR LACK THERE OF...OF THESE TWO FEATURES WILL

ULTIMATELY DETERMINE THE TIMING...COVERAGE AND INTENSITY TO SNOWFALL

OVER THE REGION. THE MAIN POINT IS THAT THE POSSIBILITY REMAINS FOR

SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER TO IMPACT CENTRAL INDIANA AND THE OHIO

VALLEY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.

THE INFLUENCE OF LAKE ENHANCED SNOWS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE GREAT

LAKES POSSIBLY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE WINDS RELAX AND BACK

WITH BROAD UPPER TROUGH PULLING AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE

WILL THEN SLOWLY BUILD IN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. COLD TEMPERATURES

WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. HIGHS WILL LARGELY REMAIN IN THE

20S WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR A RETURN TO SINGLE DIGIT LOWS BY LATE

WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK.

hmm what was he banned for? permanent?

Since you asked, he was banned because of a calculated attempt to deceive the staff and the entire board. He requested a met tag and provided some proof and the tag was given. We try to do our best to verify and upon further investigation it was discovered that he was not telling the truth.

Ahh. Well that explains it, I was reading his posts thinking, "Hmm must really have to be careful of what you say" I was thinking maybe it was becasue he said he hoped the snow missed lol
