tarheelwx Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Since there is nothing else to do, I thought it might be entertaining for everyone to list the comical, irritating, exciting, etc. catch phrases that get used every winter as storm threats are on the horizon or model runs are coming in. I'll start it off: ICE ICE BABY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Here goes: -NW trend -The storm is right where we want it, x days out -Sun Angle -It's the 6Z or 18Z , throw it out -Storm has not been properly sampled -Nice looking storm, just no cold air -Euro snow map -Don't worry about it, it'll make it's own cold air -Triple phaser -Big Dog -Haven't sent up enough weather balloons -If it thunders in winter, snow is only 10 days away -It's ok that the models lost it 3 days out, it'll be back - don't worry about BL temps right now, rates overcome all -don't let Brick see X model run -Things just got real" Brick -rain / snow line looks to be ( insert your own favorite interstate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I got an inch or so, it's the one where southern SC was jackpotted with 12-24" of snow! The NC meltdown would be sooooo epic!The banhammer would be swift and just !

toxictwister00 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 "How much snow will I get imby?" "How come one county west over in AL is under a WSW and I'm under a Special Weather Statement? Is the snow/ice/sleet going to change over to all rain or fall apart once it crosses over into GA?" "NWS is being too conservative on the snowfall totals." "I know it's 240 hrs out, but the GFS has had a big winter storm for (insert date here) for the past few runs, we should start a thread on this." "This might be worse than the '93 Superstorm, or the "Carolina Crusher", or Jan. '87/'88, or some other historical benchmark storm that pointlessly gets brought up for comparison for no reason." "All hail King Euro" "GFS has been crap since the upgrade". "Euro has been crap since the upgrade". "NOGAPS still has the storm." "The 00z NAM is leaning towards the 18z GFS and 12z Canadian, GFS/Canadian right, Euro WRONG!" (later the 00z GFS/Canadian caves to the Euro solution) "Euro usually has a warm bias when it comes to 2m/850mb temps." "GFS has a cold bias." "The models are having a hard time picking up on how cold it's really going to be." "The models always show a storm in the LR, lose it in the MR and bring it back in the SR. Don't worry it'll be back" (until of course it becomes very clear it isn't coming back) "Dewpoints/temperatures are lower than expected or radar is filling in further east than modeled, is the storm moving in faster?" "The precip was under/overperformed on the models." BUST!! "Will those thunderstorms along the Gulf rob our moisture up north?" "It just needs to shift 50 miles north/south and I'll be in the sweet spot." "Why are you always so negative about snow chances? Aren't you overly obsessed with snow like I am?" And let's we not forget the inevitable troll fights among trolls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
