A-L-E-K Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wonder how close we are to a storm like what the Euro and GFS were showing 3 days ago. What were they seeing then that isn't quite there on tonight's runs? If you look at the 500mb charts on the 0z NAM at 42 and 48, you can see it's not that far from really cranking things up here, it swings and misses, but it's close.

weatherguru Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I feel like if the NAM and GFS continue the trend, we're right back to a major storm (a la GFS a couple days ago) and my brain is struggling after just getting used to an HECS. I'm sure they feel the same way if they come here and see us all saying the trends on the NAM and GFS continue. No offense but after reading your posts for a few years (yes even though I just registered I been following up with easternwx because the centralwx crew for years) this is one of the few you are actually positive and optimisitic.

dilly84 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I think we may see a slight further north nudge on tomorrow's runs, especially on the NAM. The timing is what's concerning me a bit. The models have slowed things down about 12hrs compared to the last few days, so if they continue to slow it down, then who knows. Actually the nam and gfs tonight are speeding things back up I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positivity and optimism aren't my strong points and it's hard not to be positive after mentally preparing for nothing with an outside chance at LES.

BowMeHunter Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That's what i feel like too, are we really going to go from big time MW storm to HECS and back to big MW storm in 3 days? The reality is probably somewhere in the middle. Decent hit for Iowa and weakening heading east and a grazing hit for someone on the east coast. Sounds about right but I'm going balls to the wall for SNE at the least. Man, I don't know what I would do if the Euro loses that bomb after how many times they got f'ed over last yr with hits to the MA and NYC... You really couldn't draw up all their near misses any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherguru Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We will regardless of whether or not we get a flake from this storm due to the stuff we already have on the ground.. Need more. Can make 25.00$ (I dont charge much usally 10.00$ depending how much but my uncle and his neighbors give me 20.00$ for every 6 inches because its a corner house and I usually just shovel it) a house if we get at least 6 inches.

It was showing way more than 12". And i agree with you (see post above about what i think is most likely), but a couple more shifts like we saw from 12z to 0z on the NAM and GFS and we're not far from a major storm.
