Bob Chill Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like widespread 1" liquid totals for the 8th. and it's really cold for a feb storm. 12:1 seems ok. I will not sleep soundly for over a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Im calling it whatever the hell I want to call it. 10-12" would be pretty good. Unicorn might turn into a horse at this point. I didn't even know you named it. All names are ****ing stupid unless they are like PDII or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I really don't know. I think the euro just put out the best case scenario. Solid 3-6 look. I like it...A LOT. I'm with you. I'll take Monday, punt mid week, and take the Ian got a Unicorn for his b-day storm. Shaping up to be a great week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all having a good time with it...why is it so important? If you don't like it, don't use it? When ION was going around, nobody said much. Why does such a little thing put a bug in your ear??? We're getting snow, people are happy and having a little fun. Lighten up and let's ride the Unicorn together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Whoa now. Which one is the Unicorn, the imbedded s/w or the MIller B or.. The unicorn is the one for the 7th/8th timeframe.

The earlier arrival is a huge net +. Major wall of confluence set up in just about a perfect spot. heck, the whole thing is just about perfect. And it's like 3 years away.

Ian Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Whoa now. Which one is the Unicorn, the imbedded s/w or the MIller B or.. It is a bit of an odd way to get a big storm around here. The mid levels look kinda meh overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The way the Unicorn/Ian B-day storm develops on the Euro is certainly odd. With that big northern stream vort, it looks like it's about to phase them on Day 8 but it never quite does it. If those two s/w's phase, that thing would cut to Milwaukee.

ArlingtonWX Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Good post, yes. So, next step is figuring out how it trends from now through then. Does front keep slowing? Notice the northern stream wave on ensembles over Canada continues to trend deeper too. This is why confluence is weaker and storm isn't shredded. But if we keep going that way...you know. Actually I don't know....I'm a complete neophyte despite lurking here for 3 years. Can someone fill in what happens if the northern stream wave over Canada continues to trend deeper? HM posts always seem to be trying to teach something, but I can't always connect the dots. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is excellent confluence stacked up to the N and a 50/50 feature (not classic or anything). Its a lucky setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the PV over Hudson Bay and the 50/60? (won't call it 50/50 because it's farther north) low keep it down to the south. It's encouraging the models and ensembles are supportive of it, but it's still a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I will gladly take Sun night into Monday storm for a Wed meh as other have said... and yeah we are lucky with the set up on the fantasy Unicorn storm thanks to the confluence and psuedo acting 50-50 low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few ensemble runs and I think the GGEM did that also...its definitely a possible outcome and probably the biggest risk. I don't think that one misses south.
