Can we start an Obvs thread for the 8/9 event?  Friends in Richmond and Freddysburg already seeing snow flakes.

[mappy]

nope. i was being a troll

storm obs would go in your thread

banter here

model discussion in the storm mode thread

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

This is what Im talking about. The NAO doesn't just get overtaken like this. 

36 hour difference

unnatural happenings

[NorthArlington101]

IMO we should only have one thread. Need to allow the 18z GEFS and the short-range models in the Obs thread.

weve tried that before and it becomes a disaster.

I feel like that's what's happened in years precious — and to be fair those are often disasters.

I'll just have to deal with switching between browsers.

Downstream 12z GFS ensembles have the NAO going from -3 to +2 in about 24 hours as the storm cuts right through greenland. These are unnatural happenings effected by a suppression of potential energy. 

Natural or unnatural. The heat (energy) is ending up in unusual places with future unknown side-effects (and biased warm because of heat domes over oceans in winter). Right now NH snow-cover is down slightly compared to previous winters. There are no indications of direct human intervention.
