rimetree Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I typically have these two weeks around Christmas and New Year off of work and look forward to the potential of a good wintry event (and having the luxury of cleaning it up at my leisure). Oh well, at least there's a chance my wind fetish is satisfied with that storm next week. Could do without another heavy rain. I have a general 1-2 inches of snow left over most of the yard so can enjoy a mostly white Christmas. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays with family and friends.

People here are passionate about weather (currently, winter weather), but I guarantee that 100% of the people who get bummed out about a few warm, non-snowy days in winter, and especially at Christmas time get off of this forum and move on with their day as planned. The back and forth banter over weather is just part of the passion. People get worked up a bit, but again, in every case they move on with their routine. No foul, no loss, no pain.

weathafella Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 One month later we were en route to the snowiest period in history for many. And the best part was Kevin insisting we wouldn’t get big storms....nickel and dimes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulyFromPlattsburgh Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 You can see much better ridge placement on the 12z vs previous runs. The western shortwave is slightly weaker and rotates further southwest instead of getting sucked into the flow allowing more pieces from the north to funnel down. Looks like a very interesting run ahead. I can’t post images for some reason. At HR168 you can see the PJ halted for a sec there stopping those building heights. At HR 180 you can see that SW about 150 miles west mitigating the flow. Gfs wobbling back and forth on where to put that SW. by keeping the SW further west we allow for a better polar connection as evident on 12 z starting at 168 compared to previous runs. On top of that the whole evolution of what happens after day 7 is skewed. The 6z will use that SW to build the next storm while the 12z will extrapolate a whole different solution. I would rather have that SW hold back a bit tbh, HR 192 that SW about 250 miles east of 12z by Texas while it was in the eastern pacific on 6z. From 168-198 u can see 12z just dropping in northern wave short wave troughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Was it the 12z GFS 9 years ago that started disrobing some weenies? I know it was a screw job in many areas, but that was a hell of a storm. Boxing Day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
