Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 18z gefs jumped on board. Strong consensus for a low coming up from the TN valley.

Holds the block long enough to set the stage. Then it reloads for another window say 13-16. Best run of the year from a legit threat standpoint. And where the snow mean is from 1-2 events and snow not ice. We had a couple runs with similar snow back in dec but they were spread over 4-5 storms and most was ice.

poolz1 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Pretty good agreement between gefs and eps with a several threat window in the 8-15. It's a rare agreement (this season) between the two on the overall pattern and threats. What a bipolar hobby. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Based on seasonal trends, I am guessing e17 will be closest to actual verification. Seriously tho, the NW trend can stop already. Meh, what am I thinking, what can possibly go wrong?

kurtstack Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The ensembles showed a good pattern at 16 days out, more and more ensemble members started ahowing significant snow in the the 9-16 day window, now 10 days out the ops and ensembles have converged on a specific storm threat. You have to like the progression of things here. At least we should have an active week of tracking model runs and the typical suicides with every model run that shows some level of taint in and around dc. Suddenly it feels like winter. Cheers!

I'm as your tag says....riding it (cause its all i got to ride). I can imagine how this place lights up if the 0z's and weekend starts to latch onto this and trends once again become our friend.

Yes it was colder than this winter, but aside from 3-4" from a system that passed near Chicago Thanksgiving week, there was no snow of significance until the end of January through PDI. Then winter was done and warmth ensued. Expand That was my senior year in high school, Tazewell Virginia. My memory is we were out of school the entire month of January and another 2 weeks of February due to snow almost daily. They tacked on an extra hour of school each day for a least the last month and we had graduation around the 3rd week of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 So, I saw the MJO plots posted earlier, and while for the last week they've showed mostly no strong signal and just eeking out of the COD, today run shows solid progression into 1. Can anyone suggest what may cause the sudden shift? Was it noise given the tellies? Trying to wrap my head around this. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
