michsnowfreak Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm definitely someone who is usually ready to move on to spring when March hits. I enjoy snow in DJF but not so much in March and beyond with some exceptions: 1) if we're going for an all-time record, like last winter 2) if it's a big storm, which I'll take at any time 3) if it's something super rare, like sticking snow in May Other than that, I'd be fine with 70 degree temps on the reg (not realistic here, I know) I have never seen the media celebrate a mid-April snow like they did last April 15th when the record was broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'd take snow in July, if it was possible. But I'm kind of a dumb I would TAKE it but I dont necessarily want it. I mean if I ever woke up to a July 1816 redux Im sure id be all over it, but its not like I wake up on a random July day and think, gee, I wish it would snow today. Actually thats one of the annoyances of being an out and proud snow weenie. At other times of the year people assume you want snow. I say, yes, because I love winter I really want the summer barbeque that im going to tonight to be snowed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I love winter and snow but I soak up every single second of summer. I think this year I will be particularly ready for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I kick into svr wx season mode starting in March, but I'll take a spectacular snow if it is still in the works. Come April, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I usually compromise and this discussion is no different. My brother's birthday is on March 23rd. That is my cutoff. Before that, I'm always ready for snow. After that, bring on the severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I love all storms.. Whether it be thunder, rain, wind or snow. Thunder on Christmas eve to snow in May, its all fair game to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he brings some interesting ideas to the table but his aggressive put-downs of other posters and other professional mets (JB especially) are unbecoming of a professional met.

TimChgo9 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I love winter, the snow, the cold, all of it. But, by the time March arrives, I am looking for the snow and cold to end, and severe weather season to be upon us.... I would, however, just as soon skip over those summer days with the 95 degrees and 95% humidity. Can't stand that kind of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, however, just as soon skip over those summer days with the 95 degrees and 95% humidity. Can't stand that kind of weather. I'm the same way. I thoroughly enjoy winter from Nov 1st to March 15th. Anything outside of those time periods I want warmth and sunshine. Would like to finally get a decent severe weather season around this area, but it's rare so I live through you guys during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 0z Euro looked interesting with a day 9-10 system. Kind of a bowler, that looked to cut probably at some point. Pretty decent ensemble support for it too. Thereafter in the day 11-15 range, EPS really build heights out west and start pushing cold south into the CONUS. Who knows if that look will hold, but it does have GEFS support. Of course before all of that, we go mild for the weekend/early next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be difficult for that to cut, given the storm off the east coast at that time and not much ridging in between. Probably more of a bowler as you said, but not worth overanalyzing at this point. Until that possibility, looks like snoozeville with even the ensembles not really showing anything. Sometimes a smaller system can pop out of nowhere but doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, between now and then it looks a little boring outside a few impulses that look to go north of most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 FWIW, the PGFS has the day 10 system as well. PGFS becomes the official GFS in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the verification stats in the northern hemisphere have not been good lately, although it seems to be doing better in the southern hemisphere.

Minnesota Meso Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Euro ensembles suggest tempering expectations for the next 10 days or so, but I saw the day 10 storm too. Who wants to start a thread? I've been looking at this the last 2 days. Yesterday a majority of the GFS ensemble members along with many of Gem's were showing a beauty, But as of last night most have lost it, and the trend has continued this morning. Many of them now want to settle a massive surface ridge in just north of the border, thus suppressing and shearing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks like a train of 3 Clippers for the UP every few days, then a chance at a Cutter in the 23rd timeframe, if those clippers trend south a bit like they usually do it could be good for the very northern parts of the subforum.

cyclone77 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Operational Euro still showing a decent system sometime around the 22-23rd. EPS control run also shows it, but a day or so later. Looking more and more like the 22-24th period could become pretty active again for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Not that the MJO has been a major lead index this winter but it now looks to go well into Phase 7 and possibly Phase 8 before it goes to the COD. This is normally a positive sign for cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 0z EPS was pretty impressive with big AK ridging/-EPO in the extended. All starts about day 7-8, but we probably don't feel the real cold until at best day 10...and then through the end of the run. As usual, we shall see.

smoof Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Does anybody know when the PGFS takes over as the new OP GFS? I think I heard it was tomorrow but not 100% sure on that. RIP old GFS anyways, I wish they would keep them both running after the switchover just so I have yet another model to check lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
