Typhoon Tip Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Meh... the Euro erroneously bullies that southern JB vortex/N/stream S into that whole set up like fist rape .. That southern stream ( or quasi southern stream ) D7 probably stays more coherently separate ...if the model verifies up to that day right in the first place. I do at least 'appreciate' the model sloping the southern aspects of the trough back toward the west though, because the SE height compression would do that so is acceptable. But man ... get a load of that - 30C 850 mb plume of air it has wobbling around southern Canada for days.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 A couple of days ago I mentioned how we are on the line and it could break right. Well the 12z EPS shows that with some split flow and signs of a little Hudson Bay ridging. It could easily go to poo and I’m not a fan of how the Pacific looks, but it’s definitely active. So we have that anyways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gyre seems to get squeezed like toothpaste toward our D8 storm as it is departing, leading to a nice 50/50 after the fact. Could that set the stage for the Xmas miracle?

Got a nasty grinch Rainer but then a small event Xmas morning and then the bigger events on 12/26-27 (mostly interior) and 12/29 (the famous Scooter middle finger screwgie)...fairly marginal airmasses with kind of a ka-ka pacific but we had the high heights around Hudson Bay and over toward Davis strait.

East slope has 4-6”. West slopes have nothing. Barely any piles. There was cover up to 10 miles or so SW of Rutland then none. I went all the way up to Vergennes and the grass was green. I think they must have had early snowcover that melted this week, so the ground never froze and browned. Came over the spine to WRJ, and hit snow on east slopes. Drove by Okemo and it was 43 and rain and no sign of snow . Only on the slopes . The west slope has not had a good start this year natural snow wise. Hopefully after this weekend things change. They got spoiled last year. And Rutland... what a pit. Downsloping ftl. Just tall grass everywhere 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about what type of an early season pack we might have laid down if these first two events hadn't been washed away a couple days after they've fallen. We'll likely be starting from 0" again next week. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
