Pretty bad that the best we can do is analyze long range GFS solutions. D8-9 looked like a sleet bomb to me after a bit of front end snow. It's like +3 to +4 at 850 in ORH county with a temp in the upper teens. Not that this really matters right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 NCEP also changed the scale on the total QPF maps. I thought the 1-2'' contour was 0.5-0.75''. Not that QPF matters on a D8 prog but I was a little confused as to why it was a bomb...makes more sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect time for a sleet bomb after a few inches of arctic sand....put some bass into the pack and then let the fluffer nutters fall on top of it. I think many are afraid of sleet because they correlate it with changing to rain too....often sleet is just a temporary stopover on the way to a 34F rain....but obviously if it stays sleet, then it can actually be kind of cool. #sleetembrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good heavy sleet storm is fun. Like 3-4" of sand. That stuff takes forever to melt and plow piles look like a 8-10" storm because there's an inch of frozen water in it.

ORH_wxman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don't want sleet all the time, but I'll take a good sleet storm for the base. Even powderfreak doesn't mind some sleet in the pack. The sleet that fell in '07 helped keep that pack around....bulletproof. We had like 2" of sleet and 6" of snow in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, great timing....I just posted above how you like sleet and you're def a powderhound. But some sleet has its place. Like I said, I would't want it all the time.

ma blizzard Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 sleet is super under-rated .. VD 07 dropped ~4" of sleet and it stuck around until early April that year also y'all are thirsty for micro-analyzing a D8 GFS fantasy storm .. albeit prob the best set-up we've had all year so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Already huge differences at D6 between 12z Euro and 00z Euro. EPO ridge is a lot more amped and PV further south....should probably give us a better look for 1/19-20. BTW, I'm not saying this is correct....but I think this is a good lesson for those who want to understand how much the PV placement can change the look and also how much the placement of these features can change from run to run.

Typhoon Tip Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 guys... really... you drift. You seem to acknowledge inherent limitations and detraction ...then, an hour later, creep back in and get enthusiastic euphoria tenors going ... like spontaneously. ha. wow. I get it... life is boring for many. They put stock in this shit because of the mystery of dystopian awe and all that is intriguing and gives a kind of high that fills said voids in many way ... and one gets addicted to that. So these models don't show it...and the loss really does act like addictive withdrawal frenzied "carpet surfing" ...lookin' for nuganshards in the model. that's hilarious. Unfortunately, it's going to take longer than an hour to change the outlook appreciably... Just some advice - wouldn't take much stock in GEFs anything. And I admit ...some of that is my personal opinion based upon 'too much gradient' and so forth. But this trend suffered for canceling prospect has been stunningly proficient - what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?? something like that... I for one choose sanity and I'm letting shit ride the rest of the way. I tell you ... most seasons I prematurely despise winter by Feb ~ 20th or so ... I may check out even before that if said trend proves supernatural rapey ... nice!

Yeah, I mean... I do agree that loading cold into Canada is good... I said that earlier... I'll say it again... having -20 C at 850 slabbed over the continent, with periodic -30 C plumes rattlin' around inside isn't a bad table setting.. no.. But, I'd like to see the gradient relax ...a little. It certainly is a tantalizing look having the hornet sting ready to roll through southern California mid way through the Euro run though... But the GFS had that two.. and ended up having to smear it into an ice storm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
