You are free to defend the honor of the mods, sorry for my interruption Mods are most definitely weenies. Never said they weren’t.

IDK. How modeling has been i certainly wouldn't toss anything out still being 90+ hrs away from the start of this event, We've had changes right up to 18-36 hrs out all winter on these storms so far, Grant most have been for the worst but at some point you have to get one to break the right way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ukie is almost an inv trough look. Not a big CCB with conveyor belts...more like a narrow area of forcing. Still a lot of time left. Normally you'd expect a NW push from a multitude of things like latent heat release and data sampling perhaps making the parent s/w modeled stronger...but the flow is progressive. That may limit those examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last event literally trended 600 miles northwest in about a 48 hour period. Granted, slower pattern....but this doesn't need 600 miles either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it just has that "Feel" unfortunately.....the feeling of the season has showed it's hand....and it can't be changed. I know, it's a stupid idea, but it has that feel. I hope I'm wrong. You like to Hedge Berg...what's your call for the upcoming 12z Euro? I think it will be a Whiff....more east and progressive due to the western ridge flattening out...not good signs. I don’t know what the euro will do lol but I’ve been hedging since day 1 this system is for the SE or E folks. Nothing has changed so no reason to get emotional this could miss for us.

WinterWolf Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Just now, Damage In Tolland said: I think it’s been so long since we’ve been in a north trend pattern. First one in maybe 2 years. Have people forgotten how these work? They start as hits, then go way East then they trend back NW in the days leading up until precipitation issues happen in coastal regions. Why is this so hard? Well you were on the rains to quebec the other day, and Toss every model train as well. Now you flipped and flopped like the fish out of water. I agree that lots of these trend away at this midrange point only to come back again with a vengeance. But this has other things working against it too...like too many S/W's in the flow that are mucking up the waters so to speak. And a ridge that's flattening now it seems...these are distinct issues that can work against this coming back. It's not over, but it's not looking promising or encouraging either at 12z. I'm sick of 1-3" of slop...I'm with Ray, if it aint gonna be a Warning situation, let's have it be sunny and 45-50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Fast flow but that does not mean we can't end up with something that becomes more favorable for some on this forum, Just need to let it play out and see where it goes over the next couple days, lot of moving parts that need to come together.

There is still some time left to raise the grade from an F to a D/C but the time to do so is getting shorter with each passing day. I had slightly above normal snowfall, and with the exception of not being extreme enough with the magnitude of the anticpated warmth in January, its gone very well. I didn't expect the next big event until between 2/17 and 3/2, so this going to the fish would be a victory for me as far as timing goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inverted trough look is the model's of way of reconciling the formerly robust solution with the increasingly likely reality of a miss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Odds of a miss have increased, but no one should be resigned to this yet. There is plenty of time for precip type issues to erupt on guidance. This can happen fast with a multitude of SWs that have yet to be completely sampled in a lightning fast flow. That is my objective opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very discouraging to winter enthusiasts when everything continually trends in a negative direction all the time. Doesn't need to be an 18" er or anything..but a solid Warning event would be some fun for a change. But it'll do whatever it wants so I get it.

When you trade great winter storms for forecast verification, what the point? I would rather horribly bust in favor of a big winter storm, it's not like you do it for a living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the U.S., prepare to shiver with below-normal winter temperatures from the Heartland westward to the Pacific and in the Desert Southwest, Pacific Southwest, and Hawaii but above normal winter temperatures elsewhere. The cold will continue through Valentine’s Day—providing the perfect excuse to stay indoors and snuggle! But be warned: Winter will not be over yet! For some parts of the country, frigid and frosty conditions will last well into spring, bringing little relief to the winter-weary. “This could feel like the never-ending winter, particularly in the Midwest and east to the Ohio Valley and Appalachians, where wintery weather will last well into March and even through the first days of spring,” says Almanac editor Janice Stillman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
