Ottawa Blizzard Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Media hype. The polar vortex stuff was beyond amusing...its as if it was brand new and never happened before. I had to tell people "everytime we get a big arctic cold shot, the polar vortex is usually involved, it is not a new phenomenon. The cold in January 2004, 1996, and 1994 were all with the PV"...and they look at me in amazement wondering why they never heard of it previously. This. Honestly, many may disagree with me, but the recent media hype over the polar vortex was worse than any hype JB has put out this year. In fact, he has tweeted and blogged about how the media was spinning the whole polar vortex thing pointing out, just as ORH has above, how severe cold has happened plenty of times before. JB may hype but he knows a heck of a lot more about the weather and how it works than many in the mainstream media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8611Blizz Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The 0Z Op GFS looked pretty desolate for SNE even through 1/25. Cold sure, but dry. Yeah that does seem to be the theme of late. Can't wait to see this place on the 25th if the snow is still ten days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 This.

JB may hype but he knows a heck of a lot more about the weather and how it works than many in the mainstream media. I don't think JB knows squat about weather and how it works. I think his problem with the polar vortex media craze (which was both ridiculous and amusing) was based on his hyper conservatism and anti-global warming philosophy).

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We really need some type of Atlantic blocking. Watching so many systems kick east of us is growing old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Englander Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It will be nice to get back to seasonable temps and below next week. Feeling positive about some chances for snow...Eventually we will cash in on something. I'd take anything to be honest. Something to grace the brown landscape with that beautiful fresh snow.This winter has shown us both sides of the spectrum. It's been interesting and there is more to come.

eyewall Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 A nice treat tonight as we took a breath in NNE. 1.2" on a less than 1/2 forecast and still snowing as of this post. Hopefully this is a signal of what lies ahead in the coming pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his problem with the polar vortex media craze (which was both ridiculous and amusing) was based on his hyper conservatism and anti-global warming philosophy). I disagree. From what I gather from people who he trained, he knows quite a bit. However he has chosen to go down the road of hype and is now completely lost. But guess who is laughing all the way to the bank. He's not dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zones weren't very enthusiastic about mid week. I hope that happens. I like HPC's maps with a miller b and 996 Gulf of Maine. And GFS trending towards Euro, yes? Typical GFS out to sea bias?

At one point you are under 484 5h heights, stunning actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ride Scooter. You guys will produce in this pattern. Yeah it would be rare for them to not get something in this pattern. The analog dates were snowy for them too. But there is a fairly reasonable chance (at least in terms of medium range probs) that SNE gets something on the 22nd and they get skunked....I'm sure the complaining would reach to a fever pitch up there if that happened before things turn for the better.

I don't recall such a favorable pattern modeled for deep winter right at the climo bottom. Looking through some stuff at the Rapid City site, getting near the bottom of 850 records for past mid Jan heading into Feb, very close for places like GYX with a -30 showing up on the GFS gridded data, would tie it.

I think eventually it has the potential to have a semi-SWFE type look as things retro a bit. But yeah, I think next week may have more of a cstl risk and we'll see the VT peeps head for the granite massif of Mansfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
