packfan98 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Robert brings up gulf convection limiting moisture transport....always something. LOL I knew it would come up eventually. I thought his map was interesting with a gap in the heavier totals in the western Piedmont where others have a stripe of heaviest snowfall. I could see his idea verifying.

Cold Rain Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 And then Brick claims that it's going to rain or whatever. He's worse than me. I can't figure him out, except that he's trying to live up to his namesake. I don't know. We're lucky to have a met like Fishel. He's gotten more conservative as he's learned that the big snow progs days in advance usually don't verify. He gave a balanced forecast tonight at 5 and 6. The other ones on there won't say anything with any real meat on it. It's like they wait for him to talk turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we've had some big busts in the 2000s and early 2010s. He's found that the safe rule is that if there's a reasonable chance something could go wrong, it probably well. If we're concerned about WAA keeping temps up, then it probably will. If we're concerned about moisture transport and there's modelling or regular meteorology to back it up, it probably will happen. There's a reason our climo is 5-6" and not 20". If these storms performed the way the models advertised, we'd get a lot more snow and ice each year.

Nowhere to put the lawn chair if he made a bet this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I wish...That's all I have to say about the 0z nam. LOL...what I take from the NAM runs is the SLP track and temps, both were good. I think 0.5-0.7" QPF looks reasonsable, hopefully the RGEM agrees in about 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
