metalicwx366 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Come on, where folks really thinking the amount of snow, etc that the RAP and HRRR was showing was going to verify? Hell I could have told you that. They are alright with precipitation but not temps and snowfall. You guys want to see the 2-8 inches of snow it's runs were showing for SGA on 1/29/14. I surely got that much snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well, this storm is going about how I expected. LOL, yeah, heavy rain, I am pumped about Sat onwards, temps in the 60-70's! I still think the triad get's a ton of ice, but temps aren't dropping like I thought, I thought they would drop to 29 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I surely got that much snow. Well my point forecast was 2-4" so yeah, I expected a couple inches. What I got was an hour of light sleet and then rain.

superjames1992 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well my point forecast was 2-4" so yeah, I expected a couple inches. What I got was an hour of light sleet and then rain. Rates have been ****ty so far. Let's see if some rates can at least change us back over to at least sleet. Looks like we just dipped below freezing over the last few minutes, at least. We'll see. The truth is that I never really expected any snow until RAH put 2-4" in our forecast, but I'm expecting it now. I'll take 2" of IP, too... whatever form is okay. When the NWS puts it in the forecast, I take note... Check out Lookout's post. It looks like a warm layer at 879 mb (and around it) is killing us. 850s are actually slightly below 0C. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/43064-36-37-event-is-it-this-seasons-last-gasp/page-40#entry2861530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some really strong rates would certainly have a chance to push through. I agree on the other part as well, I really didn't expect anything other than ZR until today. Unfortunately I was expecting it this afternoon and now I'm a sad weenie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Shouldn't we be in storm mode? I'm in the middle of a major winter storm! I give the local mets and GSP props for not saying anymore than rain! They absolutely nailed it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we have this??Why oh why did the NAMs warm nose have to verify The warmest modeled warm nose ALWAYS verifies. That's like a rule or something. ugh...I'm going to bed. Maybe I should have prepared my calculus lesson for tomorrow!That would have been more fun than watching the cold rain come down sideways, I guarantee you!

Jon Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just flew in from 80s in Mexico to 33 and rain. That just makes coming back from vacation 100x worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Just flew in from 80s in Mexico to 33 and rain. That just makes coming back from vacation 100x worse. Yeah, it sucks. If it was just 2 or 3 degrees cooler throughout the column, we'd have 2 feet of snow, by the time it is all said and done. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow.It doesn't sting as bad since I didn't track it but this does indeed suck. A nice juicy ULL going to waste, it's a shame to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anybody see the Euro snow map for next Thursday? You may want to take a peek, and start a thread! It's only 7 days out. I'm assuming it was the 12z run and it looks very cold around that time anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was the 12z run and it looks very cold around that time anyway! Apps Runner. I really have no hope for that system. I've glanced at it a few times and pretty much never seen an interesting solution. One of the last few GFS runs had some sort of fantasy storm around 300 hours, though, IIRC.
