stormtracker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm with ya' 100%. I guess we've been doing it too long. It's enjoyable to follow storms because eventually one hits....except in certain winters. And this is one of those winters. Like I said in another thread, this year is reminding me very much of 76/77 in that it was cold and relatively snowless. The models are doing the same dance with every system 4+ days out and eventually settle on the reality that everything goes to our north. It won't change no matter how many eloquent reasons people may give. So, what's not to get pissed off about at this point? Careful now, you'll be called a baby-whiner because you are pointing out the obvious. Saying ma nature aint fair and I want snow or I'll cry! is whining. Pointing out that given the season pattern, models will screw us every time isn't. But ya know, just keep it out of the fantasy world they're living in...that's all. Like you, I've been doing this long enough to know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a few of these slide under us, and in at least one case over-performed. Frustration is mounting because this is the period where the pattern was supposed to be "better" with probably our best odds at getting a decent event. And now we have...this.

It's always gonna get better....in just 10 more days, watch! This time, I really mean it. It's the best I've seen yet! We have blocking this time.....-NAO is right there.

And now we have...this. the pattern has clearly changed now no more clippers diving south after initially modeled to pass to our north now, it's back to the same routine we are used to in the MA during unproductive snow chances.....modeled to hit us 4 day+, then moves north as we get closer and it doesn't come back south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mostly want to go north. We get lucky sometimes. Those rooting for a clipper fest, well yeah. Problem is, we have completely sucked at Miller A and Miller Bs as well. Even when we get a nice juicy low coming up from the south with a decent track, low pressure over the lakes effin it up. And why does that happen? The crappy Atlantic. If we had a legit west-based block, then REAL High pressure would be to our N/NW, and then a 50-50 low would have some actual impact, instead of accelerating out of that position like a speeding Ferrari through a one horse town. So damn tired of seeing.. LOOK AT THAT 50-50 LOW! Useless in this pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The Euro will save us! Look at the storm on the 186 hour GGEM! The pattern is perfect....the storm this Sunday that screws us, cuts off, undergoes Oprah-trosis, because the 50/50 low, while the Greenland block does the loop-de-loop, causing the downstream trough to look the best I've seen it all winter! That storm is the ONE. No way it can trend north because now we have something we haven't seen all winter modeled 10 days out. Someone should make a thread.
