Evilpens64 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well Henry M busted hard with his latest storm. Not surprised he hasnt been great this year, not that he ever is. Whatever he says go with the opposite and you should be alright. He busted ? what happens to that vigorous little Low that just gave San Fran some rain ? it just disappears down in the Gulf Right??

Rdd9108 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 So lets see latest Euro fwiw, valentines storm is supressed. Thats not a bad thing seeing as every storm trended nw. Then theres a storm after that except its the dreaded GLC. The usual places NW Ohio into NW Pa see a lot of snow. What does it take for a big storm to dump a lot of snow here.

wstaude Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's beautiful out there today, albeit a bit chilly. I wish people would have cleaned their sidewalks a bit better though, 50% of my daily walk was over a sheet of nearly solid ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I hope I am wrong but the V-day storm is looking bad. Also they are predicting a warm up after. So our chances for a big storm are dwindling. Ehh it was a good run this year. I expect another 10 inches through various clippers and small storms before the winter is over. So well above normal, I think if this vday storm doesn't pan out Im gonna stop obsessing over the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Just checking the models, and the Euro, GGEM, Nam, and Gfs operationals, are showing some enhanced precip Sunday night. Not a big storm, but as always, something to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Looks like 1-2 tomorrow afternoon / evening. The snow pack looks awesome with the layer of ice over it. Around 4:30 or so this afternoon the sun was barely shining through the clouds and it was snowing lightly, it was a really nice wintry scene.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Still snowing nicely, going out to get a measurement soon. Looks like models are starting to key in on a storm for Wednesday night into Thursday. Right now its going up the coast, so we are out of the picture for now. Gotta slow that kicker down or weaken it or just get rid of it all together and things might shift West enough for us to see some more snow. <weenie> Or maybe it could speed up enough and phase with the whole storm and create a huge inland runner! </weenie> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Still time for the trend for us wednesday. I dont expect the models to know whats going on till this is sampled but its on the table. Just need a little luck or else we get fringed again. Someone tell mother nature to knock it off. Im ready to hit the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Snowing decently down here, closing in on 2" for this "non-event." It's a shame what was modeled a week ago couldn't pan out. System later this week looks like a dud for us, anyway. We really would need the low over the Lakes to speed up and let the two streams phase to bring the whole system West. I'm not sure what other solution would bring the coastal low further inland. Maybe some better SE ridging, but right now I don't see that. This doesn't look like a true Miller A system (at least not in how I think of them). Of course with no blocking to the north, this thing would just fly through.

KPITSnow Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Still amazes me how people in our area are scared to drive in this stuff. Much prefer someone overly cautios to the idiots that still think they can drive 50-60 mph in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming down 30 the passing Lane was better then the slow lane so the folks who are scared got in the passing lane and went 10 MPH or 20 hitting/riding their brakes.

Down the mountains? Yeah, you probably shouldn't be going more than 30 mph anyways down that hill in snow. Anything else, on a grade that steep is too fast.

Im ready to hit the links. Yeah, I'm not confident one way or another right now. This weekend if you remember was modeled with pretty strong consistency between models and ensembles then it just went poof, so things could easily trend West or East at this point. I guess I would favor a more progressive solution given seasonal trend, but sooner or later if you keep rolling the dice you might get lucky.
