Nothing is ever set in stone outside of four days imho. Merry Christmas Bristow. You too Wonderdog. Hope those pups got some bacon flavored treats from Santa.

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 0z EPS overall looks pretty ugly for significant snow chances in our region over the next 10 days. It continues the general trend of previous runs suggesting our region will be betwixt and between, with a dominant NS, and any ss interaction/coastal development too little, too late. Compare the precip panels for the next 8-10 days over the last 4 runs. Drier overall for the whole EC, but our area is especially dry.While I want to put my faith in the Euro family, I harken back to Dec 9 (for one) where the GFS family and the NAVGEM slowly began the trend to bring snows into the region at around 96 hours out. Took the Euro family a bit longer to latch on. Not saying we will see a repeat but something to at least consider as we've been down a similar road recently. As for LR stuff, I would keep one eye on anything past 5 days lead time given the fast pattern.....and that is being generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, just the thought of it happening makes me want to fill our turkey full of lead. Merry Christmas all!! yeah its hard to swallow alright.... I think its not done, just maybe not what we saw a few days ago. Cold has pressed so models will have one less thing to think about, so they will likely start honing in on what were getting fed this week. I'll pass on your turk though...

Wonderdog Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 GFS for New Years Day period has us in 30+hours of varying snow intensities, and that's being conservative. What's not to like? Start time is less than 7 days. Buck up people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can pull that off in this pattern we suck big time. Hard to get enthused about the prospects for anything other than a light event right now. At this point it seems like we need to root for a big dig from the NS. Problem is the most likely outcome is similar to what is occurring today- cold and windy here while a coastal deepens to our NE and gives most of New England a snowstorm, lol.

If it's going to take a NS low for us to score something decent, a flat PNA ridge is not going to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93Blizzard Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 When’s the last time any energy from the gulf came surging up the Apps?

We really need to keep a log of short range reverse busts and what the models did. If this happens like that (not saying it will), but it happens frequently enough to not be a coincidence.

That's an impressive plume of moisture on the STJ fetching all the way from Baja. Is the ever so slight dip over North TX and OK the trough effects of the Nrn stream? If so, do my feeble eyes see a phase potential between the two? Or is that just wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Gfs keeps showing how simple bad luck screws us. Out of sync and right in the middle. We have some history with this stuff so very believable. Not throwing in the towel because luck can change but right now just not getting the pieces to play nice Will be intesting to see if the euro brings back the southern piece after losing it completely last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Feliz Navidad a todos! IIRC in Nina winters we rarely get the long-lead time textbook coastals, but with cold we can score some events that pop up within just 48-72 hours. Let's take our 10-day cold period and see what we get. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Merry Christmas my weather weenie friends! The GFS is exactly what a screw job looks like for our area. And it is the reason we should always hate seeing a LP over the lakes. That the Euro has backed off on an active southern stream is concerning as well. I still think we see snow, probably a couple of times over the next couple of weeks. But without the southern stream we can probably kiss a big storm goodbye. Enjoy the holiday with your families everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
