Hoosier Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Between the system snow and some lake effect/enhancement, it snows for basically over 72 hours straight here on the GFS. I don't think I've ever seen that before, and I'm gonna guess that won't happen haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCM for KFOR in OKC, notorious for hyping up severe weather and putting out maps with tornado intensity potential before the day of an event, more often than not busting.

RCNYILWX Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 In all my years of weather enthusiasm and working in the field (with exception of some of the crazy RPM runs for GHD I), this is obscene.

Bought mine at The Shack circa '82?? and it finally cashed it in about 4-5 yrs ago. I liked it for Tor warn scenarios by batteries if the power went down. Towards the end, they were using computorized female voices and it was a bit easier on the ears. The early days were as you said, recordings of very monotoned men. When you heard a long pause, you perked up cuz it usually meant they were issuing an update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a rule I have started to work on some. If something crappy is going to happen to lessen snowfall amounts, it will. Once in a while, it will lead to a pleasant surprise. Oh, and don't follow the GFS. It is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This winter is off to a brutal start. But I am willing to bet the January 6th-20th timeframe will be rocking, as I will be in Australia/New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think this pretty much sums up how most of us have looked whilst perusing the various guidance puked out by the models the last several days lol.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If the euro ends up being correct, my area still has the opportunity to make it to 2018 without any measurable snowfall. I certainly didn't go into this winter expecting to challenge any snowfall futility records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for us the Euro is usually what ends up winning out in the medium range vs the GFS, but hopefully in this case The GFS comes out on top.

RCNYILWX Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I've been riding the optimism train probably (or definitely) too hard, but if we strike out through next week, punt til winter 2018-19 lol. I think/hope there should be a middle ground between the active look of the recent GFS is runs and the all out dumpster fire of the 00z operational Euro. Just need the TPV to not be too far south. The way things have been going though, wouldn't be shocked if that Euro run came to fruition.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s terrible patterns like these that remind me just how bad our snow climo sucks, and just how historic the great winter of 2013-2014 really was. Really was just a blockbuster winter. I would hate to spoil our futility record with a quick 1” snow Christmas eve, but I also want A white Christmas. Cold doesn’t look as impressive as once modeled. Tired of weak La Nina’s. 3rd one since 2011-2012 and they have all sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks. If you had come a week ago there was more snow on the ground in Detroit than in much of the UP. Of course thanks to the thaw now it's bare ground, only piles. But certainly a chance to see some mood snow depending how the Christmas wave works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
