usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 what does a cooperative atlantic mean? 50/50 and blocking? For big DC snows we want a low at 500 mb near nova scotia. That keeps confluent flow over New england. Usually where the flow is confluent you have upper level convergence which builds surface pressures or at least keeps them from falling which helps force any low to our south. Without that you usually need to get really lucky with a southern stream system with a pretty vigorous 500 low crossing just to our south like our one snowstorm in 2011....the one that was commuting disaster. The best way to hold the low near nova scotia is to have blocking across southern Greenland westward to Baffin Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Stewie needs to consider playing the front 9 hatless. I will forever hate that guy, for being the guy that took Watson's British Open. But, Tom really did choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 heh..we posted the same thing at the same timeYou guys nailed the features. Not hard to identify on the panels once you know what to look for but awful important to have. One thing I will add to the question asked is that blocking doesn't always mean a -nao. A transient 50-50 low with a +nao gets the job done. When we have a nice west based -nao we don't need a 50-50 low because a favorable blocking high over Greenland and eastern Canada also keeps the track south. Neither of which seem to want to work for us this month but maybe late. I'm slightly bullish for a period of real blocking in Feb but more of a wag based on clues vs skill.

Bob Chill Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'd rather have a 50-50 and east based block than west based blocking and a NF ridge No doubt. But both can keep the track south without threading. West based usually means weaker/sheared but cold and snow right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 With the quick warm up after PV of doom, I have an iceberg in my pond. I'll watch it slowly melt all day, and watch the radar for some thunderstorm action. Football not on till 430 damn...guess i'll start drinking early.

Together the two features are what forces our lows to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is becoming annoying with the send emails to directv. #stormDirecTV I couldn't tell you the last time I watched TWC besides scrolling past it channel surfing. Anytime I see it on the guide on Comcast, its always some sort of reality tv program. I can't stand Al Roker so when he got his own morning show, I pretty much wrote them off.
