Was it Boxing Day when all the Sabbath observant logged off for a day, with the models showing a bust, and came back the next evening to Blizzard Warnings?

sabbath is observed on Saturday,right?

 

because i am pretty sure the models started trending back on xmas eve,which was a friday

 

but i don't think they were really showing big hits until Saturday....so yea,i think so

Frustrating yes but I still don't think there is need to freak out. Whatever happens, happens. I still like our chances for 6"+ in most of NYC netro

I agree. It's only weather. People freak out run to run. Why stress it and fight with others. Most people on here are very intelligent. Then you get teenagers and even immature adults bickering. I hope the models show nothing until Sunday morning so this board loads properly.

if end of next week is a bonafide HECS no one would be able to be on here, the server would just be dead :lol:

I believe the euro ensembles 72 hours out has a pretty good handle here. Would expect a tick N tonite

Apologies for having to ask, but what is meant by "HR 72, HR 120" n the like? N "00z, 2z. etc. Also, what is "QPF" n "GGREM" n the equiv? Or maybe someone would be kind enough to point me to an abbreviation type page? Thx so much in advance, Tim

HR72 etc refers to the amount of hours out from that specific models initialization that the individual is referring to...00z, 06, 12z text refers to the time in which the models run(see model thread), Qpf refers liquid precip so for example 1.0" Qpf means 1 inch liquid and if snow ratios were 12:1 that would be 12" of snow verbatim... As for GGEM, RGEM, EURO, GFS etc... Those are all abbreviation for the specific models a poster is referring to... Hope this helped

Looks north

 

 

posted that in the NE thread and looks quite a bit wetter when compared to the 18z NAM run

 

 

NAM seems to look colder. It looks like a wall of snow about to hit the area. Can't believe that might actually just slide south.

 

 

Looks like the southern option is off the table at this point

 

 

I won't be surprised if NYC ends up with cloudy skies and flurries

 

 

doesnt really matter-the next run of the nam will chop another 25% off and so on and so forth.

 

I hate to take people to task, but this is just a sampling of the fail involved in this thread - I wish we had pro only model analysis threads...

Initially it looked north but the southern vort got shoved south. I just wasnt explicit in my interpretation wouldnt call it a fail buddy, take it easy.

My "looks north" post was in reference to the picture posted of the initial wave riding the artic boundary... Which was in fact north of the 18z run, however the second main snow producer was squashed south...constantly complaining adds just as much banter to the thread as the post u complain about, don't forget that

We really need for this to tick north again or at the very least stay the same on the major models. Still time to get a good event........ And

Lol at people who won't do model analysis themselves criticizing others. Oh man, the hypocrisy

Sorry, completely disagree - people who don't know what they're doing shouldn't be doing model analysis.  I'd rather have no analysis and wait for the final maps to come out than to have what we often get here.

It has been a frustrating day of model runs (hasn't happened too much this winter) so I think for sanity purposes we should all assume we are getting no snow out of this, this will make any future model run that shows any snow to be an improvement.

Easier said than done lol

Thx for your response. Still confused. What is meant by "amnt of Hrs out..." n I guess I'm not fam with the 00z time increments. Thx again n apologize for having to ask.

It's easy for someone who contributes nothing to sit back and play Monday-morning quarterback On peoples pbp.. This is a forum not the NWS mistakes will be made, get over it or get out IMO

You're right except he contributes a lot more than most on this forum. He just doesn't post incessantly like so many here do

Maybe I was a little harsh, but I guess I'd simply rather see accurate pbp.  Perhaps I'm in the minority and most people like the free-for-all community approach, where many non-pros get to participate.  I love that aspect of this site when it comes to the obs and banter threads, which I'm very active in - or in some esoteric technical threads where I have expertise to add - but not in the model threads where the accuracy of the info is paramount to me.  I'll shut up for now and go back to my usual observing in the model threads.

the discussion thread for lack of a better term has just been dumped into the toilet. amazing the swings of some people, im going to be watching some movies tonight with a certain girl and not on crap will be given about the models. while the weenies sweat the models, ill be just chillen, ya know I mean homies?! :lol:

Man, I would love to congratulate you on achieving this feat. I hope everything goes out well between you and her. I assume you were prepping for this very moment really hard; it must have caused you to incessantly attach those winks at the end of your posts last month to all of your replies. :)

 

But seriously, I am failing hard in the intimacy department, as I NEVER, ever, have accomplished anything even remotely close to what you are doing right now. I can almost conclude that being a quarter-century old with virtually no success thus far, I am just about done for.
