I just find this whole science to be fascinating -- part hard science, part art. And I love reading people's takes -- the pros, the amateurs, the enthusiasts, and the weenies. I know this comment doesn't address yours, but I haven't the skill to do so, so . . . But the changes of the surface depictions on the models was quite stark tonight; even I could see that. Wonder what the Euro does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 12z run was a rather large departure from its earlier runs and the relatively consistent GGEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The guy can't type a grammatically accurate sentence for his life but the second half of this video is actually a pretty good explanation of teleconnections when it comes to snowstorms.

NEG NAO Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Joe BastardiVerified account @BigJoeBastardi 2h2 hours ago More Feel GFS feedback problem is jumping storm out to sea too much IMO, Almost every major NYC storm in past 25 years has been out to sea on the GFS 4 days before. Maybe this is GFS coup, but the feedback fairy likely causing problems, so expect model to correct west 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually an inhouse blend of different models, at least that's what the weather channel says lol. I find it comical that Julie Martin uses the label meteorologist when she can't even pronounce cyclogenesis properly or even describe it without stumbling over the words.

Or just posting for illustrative purposes? lol I didn't even see this but when I saw what the NAM did, it instantly reminded me of the Jan 2016 snowstorm and how it won that one. More dynamic systems are the NAMs strong suit. Also he seems to be completely ignoring the 21 inches printed out over central Long Island lol and 17 inches just a few miles south of us.

What does TWC have for you now? I have a feeling they might up totals again in the morning. Last I saw was 6" here but I'm not taking that seriously lol.

MJO812 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 JB seems worried that the thaw might not work out for him and the MJO might be going back to 1. He also sees some snow events this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great example of meteorology over modelology He'll score big at times but he's also incredibly biased. He will often offer the cold & snow option for the east coast even in years that don't warrant it because he knows that'll get people to buy into his stuff. He does the same during hurricane season.

CIK62 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 SDi believes cold and stormy conditions return after Jan. 20th., while JB says Big Thaw. I do not see any conflict till Jan.28 with AN being interrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not see any conflict till Jan.28 with AN being interrupted. January 20 is rushing things. There should be some transient cold shots rather than unrelenting warmth during the thaw. The pattern evolution back toward a colder, snowier one should commence toward the end of January. The transition could take about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
