Hoosier Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 12z GEM is a bit more interesting with the storm next weekend. Better phasing gets more people involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer not having to start over rebuilding snowpack in the northwoods starting Feb 1st. That's kind of depressing. Granted, I don't think that's going to happen.... but I have seen it happen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between snowstorms and severe weather, fog ranks right behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The biggest take away from these op runs that I do see and like, is that we are going to get into a pattern of deep long wave troughs ejecting out of the southwest, compared to energetic but tiny shortwaves out of the northwest. These deeper troughs are your money maker for big time systems compared to the clippers where you have to get real lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are one reason why I think we aren't going to see one big warmup out this way. I think there's gonna be several associated with the warm sector of each of these systems, followed by a brief shot of cooler air, then warms up as the next system approaches. This definitely isn't a snow longevity pattern but I think it's one that has potential for some larger systems, especially compared to what we have seen so far. Some of the longer range models support this idea and to me, would make more sense with all the troughs coming ashore in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the location of where the train tracks will set up isn't set in stone though this is a pattern that would be better north and west in the forum. If you are in Ohio, probably best to fold up shop for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 12z Euro is a great track, a little to much WAA leading to a messy mix but definitely keeping consistent. Vort maps really tell the evolution of this storm and how it could evolve under the right pieces and timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12z euro had what normally is a killer snowstorm track for CMH and western OH.... low from e.KY through w.WV to upstate NY...and yet the snow map looks like one you would see with a storm cutting over top of us with a rich getting richer band of snow through nw.IN into MI.

Yeah the weekend storm. It's warmer than the GFS. However, if there was more colder air on the Euro, it would be an ideal track for most of us. See below; Judging by the vort maps, it seems to phase a bit with the oncoming northern stream. Alot of moving parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit slower and we can perhaps getting better phasing with the northern stream. Not sold out on anything, yet! We'll get a better picture by Tuesday, at the earliest.

pondo1000 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I think the only thing that matters right now is that there is something showing up on the models. When, what & where & details to be worked out much later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most guidance favors a track somewhere between Ohio and the coastal plain. That's about all you can hang your hat on right now other than a brief warm up before that and a more sustained warm up after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Buffaloweather wants to lock in the GFS for a synoptic dump. Actually, the GEFS and EPS ensemble means are in amazing agreement with the low placement for six days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I keep hoping the models will start shifting the Thursday system farther south (like they have for others) so I can preserve more of my snowpack, but not much positivity for that. The GFS has slightly trended southward. Sigh...I find thaws so depressing... Then after the thaw/storm, it's back to cold and dry...I really feel for those of you under 5 inches on the season.

Meh, it's gonna be a roller coaster, because after cold and dry, then it's back to torch (probably until Feb.) Que sera sera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted in the other thread but it fits here. It' sbeen a cold white winter so far here and I have no complaints. But i hate thaws. It's depressing to see so much snow melt. But honestly for those that want action usually the risky patterns are what pays off. For those who just like deep winter, the pattern we have had for most of the last month is what you want.
