hm8 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Cold and snow showers doesn't exactly get me amped, but the pattern does look loaded for a train of clippers and the GFS has been advertising said train for a handful of runs now. Something something clippers can over-perform something something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something something clippers can over-perform something something. Clippers is such a big maybe. Frequent dusting looks like a good bet. Get ready for bunch of 0.5" daily snowfalls.

michsnowfreak Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Rare JB vid this morning. Basically thinks his Feb being the worst month of the winter call ain't gonna happen. Hints that we get one more cold shot Feb 5th thru 15 then it's over. Unusual to see him wave a white flag like that on winter. All hail MORCH! Lol he must be trying reverse psychology to get him some snow mojo. It's unlikely him to do something like that unless there was overwhelming signal for a torch second half of Feb and Mar (which there most certainly is not).If he is still in state College he is in one of the worst screwzones in this crappy winter, so again, could be reverse psychology.

If he is still in state College he is in one of the worst screwzones in this crappy winter, so again, could be reverse psychology. There isn't an overwhelming signal for cold either though and if anything after this cold snap 8 days out the pattern would relax back and become more zonal which the GFS is showing late in the run as is the EPS. By that point we are in mid February, the pattern very well could go warmer for the 2nd half of the month after the pattern relaxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Better than east coast storms and cold and dry here. Let's be honest anyways - nobody knows what's going down in two weeks. We can only hope for some fun times to come before April and may cold rain showers season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Personally I'm rooting for an early spring, but we can't discount the snowpack this storm will lay down on Iowa and Wisconsin. It certainly can't hurt points south and east should a favorable system materialize. Bah humbug. We've had snowpack and it hasn't helped steer storms south, or helped us to stay colder. Any time there has been a warmup, it torches. Snowpack doesn't have much power against the raging El Nino and the crappy pattern we've been in.

Geos Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Full blown SSW underway now. GFS dumping the cold air in on Day 8-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 While 100% percent unscientific the spring barometer is full blown today with the 25 Robins I saw last evening frolicking under a tree feasting on some red fruit like buds. I have no confidence after the next cold spell, 50°F days in early Feb. Come on now who are we kidding, winter will be dead in the next three weeks.

IWXwx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The GFS has been performing pretty well this winter, particularly in regards to storm tracks, but I think it's off it's meds: 00z 1/31 for this weekend: 06z today for this weekend: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just been spoiled living in the snowbelt tundra recently. I'm not worried about cold returning, im worried whether we get some decent snow with it.

We will get our daily dusting with incredibly large amounts of salt spread across the roadways until the pattern shifts it's attention back to the western sub forum.
