clskinsfan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The Euro would be a beat down out here from what I can tell. Oh and the 12Z ICON is gorgeous and looks almost identical to the Euro. I wish it was 48 hours out. But this one may finally be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 2 euro runs are top end already imho. Surface temps leading in will limit things as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure now because the new GFS just doesn't seem to have that SE bias to the extent it used to display. We have to hope that the trend to the north and west is not finished.

Wonderdog Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 A nice thump of snow late Friday at the end of the week. What's not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Walking the line is stressful too. Even though the euro looks good it's only 75 miles from a disaster. I do like the progression through. Just enough cold press over the top for a solid thump. I'm glad models have moved away from the more amplified N-S alignment. That stuff is ripe for precip to shut off before or quick after temps get right. Keep the low center south of us with that sweet sw-ne alignment and it's one of the classic ways to get a good event with progressive flow. The upside scenario is too dicey. You need amplification and a stronger low. It could still work of course but I'd much prefer NOT walking that kind of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The main slug of precip comes thru during the night...column cools pretty quick but boundary lags a bit. Solid wet paste job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a look like this since the second half of Feb 2015. Tight spacing and active flow with repeating progressions. I could easily envision a snow thump then a rain event with reinforcing cold followed by another shot at snow. There's been 4-5 gefs runs and 2-3 eps runs in a row showing active precip events and mutiple shots at snow. Pretty kick ass if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 @WinterWxLuvr Check out this gefs meteogram for OKV. Look how many members have 2-3 events. Crazy. And the beauty is the d16 mean h5 pattern still looks solid. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's uncanny how much the upcoming pattern looks like Feb 14&15. It's like triplets and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 DT sounds realistic to me. The pattern is not ideal for us according to him at least for the next couple weeks. He likes late Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked to deeply into it but .I think that is more so a function of the mean precip coming in quite a bit drier then previous runs for that period.

It's both. Less precip and less snowy solutions. We'll know in a few more days if it's a blip or a trend. Control run is a good hit though. I think what the euro op is spitting out is the top end type of solution for an event like this either way. Folks need to be realistic and not set the bar at a warning level event. That's unrealistic imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where i'm at too. I got 3.5" in Dec so I hope I can top that but I wont set a bar like that until 48-72 hours out with all guidance showing it. If I get 2" it's prob pretty likely that northern and western folks get more than doubt that. Every flip event I can remember the folks near Parrs and Winchester do much better than my yard.

Ji Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 with the exception of Dec 8, every event that we have tracked has fallen apart and given us the least possible....anything less than 2 inches by the end of next week will be a disaster but thats probably where we area headed. With that being said, we werent suppose to get anything till around feb 6 so this is bonus fail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering were still 6-7 days away from being in a half decent regime it's like that by default. However, the gefs is lit up pretty solid d6-10 so more than half of that happens by d10. And all models look similar. It's still long range and we know to tread lightly but for right at this point in time, we haven't seen anything like this all winter. Nothing even close honeslty and it's holding strong run after run. The stj tease in December didn't last 4 suites. Comparing current guidance to anything we've seen this winter....nothing compares at all.... All we can do it watch and wait and hope for the best. Its safe to say chances for snowfall in the next 2 weeks are above normal. That's fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
