SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's a good thing the atmosphere was already toast for the Friday storm, imagine how mad we'd be watching it trending further and further offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, seems he re-tore the acl while recovering from acl surgery. Vet had to re-fix it completely. Yay to another six-weeks of recovery, carrying him up and down stairs, walking him outside on the leash (brrr). Good times. If it happens again though, he will have to have a plate put in, which will not be cheap. So you have a LOT on your plate. Job, kid, dog, house stuff. You're a great mom.

Yeah, normally when I see several additional new pages after a model run, I would assume it's a lot of discussion about something good or interesting. Of late, however, it's page after page complaining how the latest run sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 As if this week after the football losses wasn't depressing enough - plus no one on here winning a billion dollars - now we say goodbye to Alan Rickman.

stormtracker Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The evolution of Highzenberg's post in model disco threads: Quote The shortwave is a touch stronger, but I'm looking down the line at that monster s/w that just crashed into california Quote Oh man, at 140 hours, things look good! So much confluence up north, 50/50 low. Not sure where this is going, but it looks promising! Quote WOW, at 180 hours, this thing is going WOOF! It's going to blow up into potential a huge storm. Everything looks great. S/w is about to go negative in just the right spot. Quote OH MY GOD! Is anybody up?!? This thing is going to bomb so hard. Triple phaser? WE could be talking about feet. Watch the shortwave round the base and is going negative. 50/50 low in place still. No way this cuts. Quote Well, it cut, we rain and nothing really big happens, and its almost nothing like I've been building up to, but it could next time. This one has legs.

Well considering that a +NAO would typically have strong high pressure near the Azores, and a -NAO a weak high or low pressure, there might be some validity to this.

Blocking is not exactly in the same spot but aligned similarly. Was a phased system grabbed by a lakes ULL. Never super high likelihood but if the GFS didn't suck maybe it was trending that way. Not sure why mentioning pattern potential is frowned upon.. perhaps because models don't generally fail spectacularly at 5 days as much as they used to.

It wasn't the comparison of pattern that people were astounded by in the discussion thread. It was his/her insistent keying in on the fact that since a blizzard was a surprise way back in 1966, plus Kocin this Kocin that, voila-- we are set up for a repeat surprise.
