Amazing how the board has done a 180 in less than 24 hours.  Depressing!

TW

I think people in CAD areas and especially here in NC,  still have a good shot at an Ice storm Friday/Saturday next week. But Snow storm looks to be off the table at the moment.  But things sure don't look as good as 24 hours ago (model agreement)!  But it could turn back around next 24 hours. These 7-10 days storms are going to flip flop every run until within 3 days or closer....  Fab Feb :)

Certainly possible and our areas have a much better chance than most.  Yesterday prior to last nights 00z runs, there was irrational exhuberance about an historic February (at least by a few, but nobody seemed to argue).  Now today, there is little to get excited about, and much of the long term discussion is about warmth and lack of cold.  Seems like we've done this a time or two already this year and within a day or two, the "warm up" doesn't look so warm or last more than 2-3 days.   

 

DT's backed off and Robert seems to be pulling back to the northwest portions of the southeast and has thrown no bones today to the bulk of the board.

Lol seems like there's more discussion here than anywhere on the board right now. Can someone break down the Nam's 57-63 hr temp for southern va. I hate when we have a storm that breaks us up because southern va ends up getting stuck inbetween boards between southeast and mid Atlantic. 850's are literally right on top of us when the heavy precip comes in. I'm assuming and hoping that heavy rates can overcome sketchy bl

Awesome with the prop bets, Strong. I always love to see what they come up with. I just hope the commercials don't suck this year.

TW, the theme for this year is unpredictable. Is that different from any year though, really? Lol! I don't see any indication of historic Feb in the making. On the other hand, I don't see any indication that we should throw in the towel either. Forget about hype, models, and the shifting sentiment on this board, myself included.

What do we know? We know that the SE ridge has been over-modeled so far. We know that torches have been muted and have turned out much less than originally depicted. We know the NAO has been positive. We know that the -EPO has been a dominant feature and for the most part has trumped otherwise unfavorable signals. And we know that if winter ended now, we'd probably remember it more for episodes of cold than winter weather events.

Now, given that, is there anything to suggest the next 6 weeks are going to end up differently? I don't see anything. The indexes we usually look at look terrible today, but that hasn't meant a whole lot so far. So, then, who cares? I don't think we torch. I don't think we evolve into some blockbuster winter pattern either. Nothing in the data I can see suggests much of anything different than we've seen so far.

Canada looks to remain very cold. As long as the cold is nearby, we're in the game. But the odds are no better than a 50/50 prop bet at this point. No reason to throw in the towel on winter. No reason to be overly exuberant either.

I suspect we'll get another legit chance or two. Next weekend? Not so optimistic. After the 10th or so? Better, IMO. :)

here's a little light for you I think, game on for you!!!

NAM is still the furthest south with snow chances Sunday night and Monday morning. It's going to be a close call for eastern Kentucky, northern Tennessee and western to middle Virginia. I think this looks about right, but a little too high on snow amounts. As for the snow/rain/sleet line, about right though. There is still time to refine the amounts and the line between precip types. It shows a weak 850 low in western Virginia Monday morning..which could help intensify the snow rates in western Virginia, northern VA and eastern West Virginia. I'd keep my eyes on this for western northern TN, and through eastern Ky, Va to Maryland.

I would say rain-to-wet snow with perhaps 1-4" of accumulation.  BL temps might be a problem.  850s go below 0C right around hr 57-60.  Surface temps probably never go below freezing.

 

The WeatherBell clown spits out 2-3", which actually seems kind of reasonable, although, again, BL temps are problematic, so that would cut down on accumulations.

Sun angle and soil temps are ok?

Early February sun angle = problematic.

 

Warm soil temperatures = problematic.

 

Saturated soil = problematic.

 

It's a disaster!  :lmao:

 

;)

 

Don't worry, though, because Fab February and Marvelous March are going to give us some fantastic snowfall rates from our train of Big Dogs, so we won't have to worry about pesky soil temperatures and sun angles whenever the snow is coming down at 2-3"/hr.

Sigh. :( :( I'll take the rain.

 

We have a HAL 9000 computer that uses a scoring matrix to produce probabilities of snowfall based on the weighting of the ensemble means given their past verification scores during the particular synoptic setup.  We expect all wintry precipitation for the rest of the winter to be well north and west of Waycross, GA.

You don't have to have a super computer to predict the weather. Just watch the bird activity in Wilkesboro NC

Funny thing is , we don't give the sun enough credit?! My 1/2 inch of snow was melted/ sublimated off of my backyard in full sun with temps in the teens. Today with temps in the mid 50s , there was still snow left in the shade! The suns radiation is no joke! :(

Ugh you should have put the snow in the freezer and saved it till it snowed again, throw it in the new snow, and see how long it takes to melt.

Our analysis of the model shows it has a significant warm bias. We could very well be in the game.
