Shawn Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I think as a whole, we still have a lot to learn about weather. If this Winter does end up being normal to just slightly okay, that's such a far cry from what many established mets had forecast, the models had shown longer range, and the analogs. I really don't think we humans are supposed to be able to predict weather weeks in advance. Short range has come a long way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Widre's pessimism was warranted for this time-frame coming up. I think he should start his own pay website and post his thoughts. 90% of him calling for crap, he'd be right. Instead of all this "snow is coming" crap.' Oh yeah, nobody would pay if he told the truth. I hope people understand that just because someone has a pay site and they say it will snow, you are generally just wasting your money. At least sites like weatherbell offer both JBs thoughts AND model data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm ready to track something. My bride led off with this, and finished with a Davis Vantage View under the tree yesterday. Sounds like you've got a keeper there, fraz! My wife gave me the Vue several years ago. The following Christmas she followed it up with the Davis software that collects and displays the data. This Christmas, I got to add a Kestrel 2000 to the collection (handheld wind and temperature gauge, perfect for checking conditions out on a hike). My wife too is a general supporter of my weather hobby, for which I am very fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a keeper. There's nothing like it. My wife bought my Davis Vantage Pro II for my birthday 2 years ago. She also puts up with my no notice chases when the chances come. Been together 30 years. Often feels like 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got some good laughs with the low tech John Deere "weather station" She gave me first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhawk Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Oh where, oh where Has my winter gone? Oh where, oh where can it be? With its promises so grand And its hype so active Oh where, oh where can it be? I think it went down With the raging QBO And the Solar Activity And the MJO mess And the horrible indices And the day 10 fantasy I wonder where it could be… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time we had 340 consecutive months where the global temperature was above normal. What are the odds of that on a normal climate situation? This was the odds at 327 consecutive months. "That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe." Pretty interesting stuff and it continued. http://www.climatecentral.org/news/june-extends-globes-warm-streak-to-340-months-16258 June was one of the hottest such months on record globally, based on newly released data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The month extended the unbroken string of warmer-than-average months to 340, or a stretch of more than 28 years. That means that no one under the age of 28 has ever experienced a month in which global average temperatures were cooler than average (based on the 20th century average).

CR, Yep. above normal temp.'s SE 6-10 with ridge just offshore the SE. The SE has the warmest anomalies in the country in the 6-10. Wake me when it gets more interesting zzzzzz lol.

superjames1992 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Personally if im wanting a winter storm; I dont want real cold temps. 30-32 would be ideal. Otherwise youre talking about supression. I'd prefer 21 and heavy snow or 18 and moderate/light snow like I saw here last winter, TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been better than last night... Instead of the low cutting up through Missouri to Michigan, it cuts up through Kentucky to New York. A couple more shifts like that and we're in business. The trend is our friend. Chicago went from raining with tons of precip to hardly any precip at all in one run. Must be a tough place... Then the LR pattern is awful.
