Not to sound creepy but I've been a long time lurker, and probably qualify as a full fledged cold and snow weenie. I'm a geologist by trade so I don't have quite the technical background on weather and forecasting as some of the others here, but do enjoy listening and learning.

That definitely seems like an odd direction. Would it be showing a Meso-low? Just my opinion, but it may be trying to indicate that. There's also a lot of upper air support moving in though so maybe some combination of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The 00z GFS is quite possibly the worst run so far this season. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just had a brief power outage. Winds are getting pretty legit out there in the past half hour. Probably gusting 45mph+ at times. EDIT: Nice to see DVN finally go with a wind advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all. lol yeah that run was pretty disheartening to say the least. Hopefully the clipper potential improves some as we move along down the road. I'm just hoping for some mood flakes to satisfy me at this point. Only flakes I've seen were almost a month ago back on Nov 12. I'll just take a few flurries at this point lol. EDIT: Dew down to 31 from 57 just 3hrs ago. Temp has dropped from 65 to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly bad thing is, I'm not sold that is gonna happen. Ridge slowly but surely asserts itself over the BC West coast and Pac NW, which in turn has the trough scoot off to the east, which is the opposite direction it needs to go. Several days ago, the trough looked to be several hundred miles west, enabling a more "moist"(if you can call it that) NW flow pattern to take shape. If that trough scoots off to the east, I can't see us scoring, even with clippers. We need the trough to retrograde/reassert itself west, or a zonal/ssw pattern without a big ridge over the west, that would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APX issued a Winter Storm Warning for my county little earlier than i anticipated for 5-10" through Thursday, a lot more expected through the weekend with a NW flow.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Finished with 2.3" IMBY approx 2 miles north of KMSP. Little more than I was expected 24 hours ago, and with temps progged to stay cold at least we should keep the ground covered here in this dry pattern. Hopefully a clipper or two will sneak into the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
