87storms Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 re 09/10...would be cool to see some of those older threads from eastern. looks like there's no archives anymore, at least that i've seen. re that cold/flu...had that bastard 2 years ago. still have managed to avoid it this year, though something is brewing (or allergies - too soon?). in other news, the wizards winning and will we trend towards a snowstorm/event in the same night? that would work.

Someone who knows better can correct me, but my understanding is that when the prior board (Eastern) dissolved the owner sold the server to someone else who put it back online, mostly just as an archive. That lasted for a while and then the person passed away. Pretty sure that marks the end of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned to fully appreciated Ji and almost to value you his input as it makes me laugh now rather than get perturbed. That being said, there can be and is only one Ji.

Then we get a early dismissal. Then the snow stops by mid-afternoon. I've been a smart a$$, just my personality, and I'm sorry that's not really fair given I know your young and I was probably no better. But please take this as constructive advice. Most of your posts belong in banter. Discussing your feelings or pure speculation about snow is banter. And definitely discussing opinions on how you snow may effect your particular school and what you want in that regard is banter. Especially when that snow is 5 days away. Analysis of guidance and patterns and trends as well as how those indicate our ground truth weather might turn out belongs in the main discussion threads. I'm not sure though how much of that you are capable of yet. And please don't take that as an insult. You will get there. But as big a weenie as I was too at your age anything I would have posted before I was 20 would have been total garbage. I mean that sincerely. And 75% of what I said from 20-25 would have been pretty useless also. Given the availability of information now you might get there way before I did but for now most of these posts belong in banter.

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Let me preface this by saying we are going to see ALOT of snow in February up and down the I95 corridor from DCA-BOS. The setup is nearly a lock now. With that said though, which models should we be using? I understand a blend is good and figuring out model biases is also a useful tool. But from what I've read here over the past few months, we should ignore the NAM because it is junk, the SREFs are garbage, the GFS has been unreliable, the Euro isnt the king anymore, the NAVGEM isnt useful, the LR ens are a crapshoot, CRAS is garbage, CMC has performed horribly, etc etc. There seems to be alot of negativity geared towards guidance this year moreso than years past. Have the models really declined in value or is this just a function of me reading posts where people are tossing model solutions because they dont show what they want to see? Just curious.

Bob Chill Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Ralph, the only reason guidance is getting hammered is because long range threats haven't crossed the med or short range often if at all. The angst (imho) is just frustration that things haven't worked out. Ops are best inside of 4 days. Nothing has vaporized inside of 3 days because nothing has made it that far. Right now all guidance agrees on the next 7 days. Variations embedded in the progression but the same general idea is pretty lasered in right now. If fri pans out then op guidance will suddenly look and perform great at long range again. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know "why" your posts belong in banter it won't help you going forward with other posts. People here are trying to help you. You can either accept that help and get better or this is probably going to end with you getting 5 posted or given a timeout the next time we have a threat and things get tense and you piss off the wrong moderator.

psuhoffman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 7 minutes ago, Wonderdog said: Why does precipitation seem to straddle the 540 line on some occasions with these storms? Because in the winter the boundary between subtropical air and polar air is likely to also divide the above freezing and below freezing column. And the 540 thickness often is a rough estimate of that also. Where that boundary and the baroclinicity with it is tends to be the focus of synoptic systems. 90% of our storms are baroclinic and develop along temperate gradients due to the potential energy inherent there and all it takes is to get flow of air crossing the boundary and you suddenly get lift and ... there we go. The overrunning of the boundary is going to enhance lift so in simplest terms it makes sense that precip will focus there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
