I dont care anymore....I am starting a storm thread for March 20-21. Got nothing to lose.

40 degree rainstorms are my favorite

The changes this run compared to 12z yesterday in canada are pretty drastic...what happened to all that ridging?

Models cant handle the Block.

Iceman, thanks for posting Tip's thoughts. He seems to be a very knowledgeable met but I swear my head hurts after reading his posts.

 

Sorry, wrong subforum

I LOVE Tip's posts, he really needs to post MUCH MUCH more.

Yeah the NA ridging breaks down much sooner and the 50-50 low quickly escapes north. Seeing this trend over several op runs now, and its significantly different than what was being advertised in previous runs. This really does look dead now.

Pretty amazing. We get screwed on the March 12-14 storm due to the -NAO holding, and we get screwed by this storm by the -NAO NOT holding. Incredible.

[Climate175]

This threat pretty much has diminished now greatly.

It will probably make a comeback with a few good model cycles this weekend, suck people back in, then one last yank of the rug.

Nina to the MA: SUCKERS!

Still close enough to keep me tracking . My guess is Eps will still show some hits.  Far from over .

I think you and PSU have a decent shot at something.

Just glanced over the GEFS and the setup up top has really morphed. Will glance at the EPS when it comes out shortly but the Euro op run gives me little hope. If we are going to score from this system now, chances are it won't be from the blocking and 50/50 we were keying on originally.

Better now than Saturday or Sunday for a change.  I was getting a little too excited mentally

Other than the Euro all other guidance looked better at 12z compared to the previous few cycles. GFS and cmc both came in further south than there previous runs. I don't think this is done yet. Still not optimistic but you never you.

Exactly. The whole premise of how this could work was based on the block and the 50-50. Both those features are now evaporating prior to the approach of the low. Actually seeing a 50-50 High now lol. I don't think we will be getting much help from the chaotic and mostly crappy Pac, so outside of the better look in the NA returning in future runs, I don't have much hope that we can get a favorable track.

[Amped]

The GFS at least is holding on to some cold over the lakes at 120hrs. Euro really cut back on it, pretty much checkmate by that time.

So when we really need the 50/50 low it disappears...whereas last time it suppressed TOO much...sweet mercy above!

Looks like we have 2 clusters

Hmmm. I wonder which cluster will be right....lol.

Wouldn't that be from timing differences with a transfer?

The ones off the coast are preferred.

Sure.

I just wonder how the ones off the coast got to that position. If it's through the South East , they would probably be good for us. But if it's from a transfer from Ohio then it would look like the past couple of blizzards for new england..lol

[Leaking Gut]

Is it not showing a Miller B?  Looks like primary stalls in the Ohio and transfers to the coast and most likely nukes NE.  Looks like the last storm.

I know you know...Oliver Obvious...I think we will see some really close solutions but far N. MD will have the real shot at this when the chips are cashed in. It just makes sense unless that 50/50 is being modeled incorrectly.  

[Amped]

MArch 1958 and March 1942, both got our slp above 1020mb ahead of the storm. So did March 99 and March 93.  Our wimpy 1015mb pressure is a sign all the cold air is bottled up in a tight little vortex that isn't going to help us.

Saw on twitter that eps all over the place with 50/50

Too soon to give up or get excited.  Take us to the ledge is what will happen. I hate needing the 50/50 to be perfect.  It’s an inherently imperfect feature.  Move it 50 miles either way and we lose..more or less. 

[showmethesnow]

Not going to break it down but the EPS is actually a little better then the 00Z run even though it is even a touch quicker with the 50/50 departure.

Looking at the individual members the northern tier definitely is favored But There were many members that snowed on the majority of the sub forum. It would be great for a hail Mary region wide event. This is an imby hobby but it's always better when everyone is in the game.

I see where you are located.  You should be enthused.  I need the low to form at ORF...you have more wiggle room unless it’s supressed.  I often get screwed either way.  I never expect to do as well as you but I hope to do better than EZF or RIC..I can’t even manage that.  Funny

Lol. Yes ussually I'm in a great spot when we have a winter with a stj but the last few winters have been pretty brutal up here too.

[Maestrobjwa]

So...we're still in the game? I wonder if the models are gonna play jumpy again (please no...if it's gonna fail, fail...don't torture us!) And if we have to rely on timing...I'm sure we'll get a few different looks...

This is becoming like watching a football game...And in our case, we're already down three touchdowns in the 2nd quarter, and the team hasn't been able to come back and win all year...lol You know it's not technically over, but you've lost so many times that every score closer is agony because ya don't have much confidence it's gonna work out (although this threat I'm keeping a safe emotional distance, lol)
