Jan 2011 is my third favorite winter event. It just pasted the stuffing out of everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Jan 2010 had the same feature come through. I remember Jan 2011 well. That dumped like 8 inches of heavy, wet snow in about 4 hours. But it went from rain to sleet to snow and was gone in about 6 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I remember Jan 2011 really overperformed up north. I think it phased or something unexpected and ended up clobbering Jersey, NYC and Southern NE. That kinda taints it a little for me. But very cool, dynamic storm. A bowling ball in every sense.

The atmosphere already unleashed the mid-levels prior to that panel. There's only so much it can do. It depends, I never underestimate what convective instability and rapid height falls can do. Feb 9 2010 I already had 12" from the WAA front end snows, I know that missed down your way but the WAA was an overachiever up here, then a lull for about 8 hours overnight, then the upper low came across and somehow found another 18" of moisture to suck out of the atmosphere. I am not disagreeing with you assessment that it is highly unlikely, but get a H5 pass like that and anything can happen. Feb 2014 was another example of the H5 finding enough moisture despite the initial wave taking plenty off with it. Those things can produce sometimes regardless.

The one the gfs shows is a little duck pin bowling ball sweeping through from the west. are you guys talking about January 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what could possibly go wrong for our subforums? Pretty much a lock with only room for marked improvements at this point yes? your point is taken, but some of the big ones locked in early and we stayed good all the way through. Dec 2009, Feb 2010, January 2016 to name a few. Even the January 2011 storm was pretty well handled given the complicated nature of it from like 5 days out. That does not mean the chances of a fail are not there because I am cherry picking the wins, but there are enough examples of times the storm locked in 5 days out to think its not necessarily a bad thing to be in a good spot now.

Mostly mid-levels around 850, or surface temps as well (if that info is out yet)? In other words, mix/change to liquid, or more like sleet.
