stormtracker Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 I would like to kick things off with some news about the ICON. It's not out to our interested time period, but...well you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 This thread is sad, how desperate are we to track a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Probably a few more bad model cycles, then we get reeled back in with some "changes" in the interplay between key features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Ok, very early on..GFS has just the slightest of changes out west. Eventual southern vort is a little wester at 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 NS s/w associated with TPV(?) is dropped further south and west a bit. Southern SW is a bit further west still vs 6z. I don't think this is the run we are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On to the Euro It is slightly better, so a small step maybe. Not sure we are going to get back to that earlier/deeper/wester dig of the NS energy like we were seeing yesterday.

SnowenOutThere Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 If it follows the evolution of our other storms we should see a decent storm on the models for a bit (yesterday) then it goes in the wrong direction fast, a bit past 100 hours out. Then over the following days as the threat reaches inside 100 hours small treads start making the storm possible again but it is generally locked in as a minor event. Finally, after days of minor progress to an possible event one run from the globals destroy the event. However, people still cling to the short term models as they slowly remove any hope, in the end we get around .5 of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 We have gone from this.. To this over the past few runs We may need a new player to show up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even in those best runs it was kinda a pathetic weak sauce system. 4/10ths qpf with temps near freezing in late Feb isn’t gonna do much damage. And you’re talking about that like it’s some high water mark we can’t get back too. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12z/18z GFS simulations of yesterday had 4-6" (10:1) from the DC area across to central DE. I'd take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Those runs were pretty juiced up too with over an inch of precip not too far south. The qpf for the snow area was 0.50-0.65". If that's weak sauce, I like weak sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Ok, on to the Euro. The goal is to get back to a weak sauce storm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The thread title could use a little revising maybe. I simply identified this as a window for a possible sneaky wave behind the late week storm that had fail written all over it. I was already looking ahead. The Great CAPE storm is a little hyperbolic.

CAPE Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 The Canadians say no at 12z. Enjoy the Euro run y'all. I have one of those 'play nice in the workplace' deals to attend for like the 30th time. Always need refreshers on how to behave professionally.

If they tell you that you're hogging all the network bandwidth surfing weatherbell and americanwx, it's definitely best to tell them to f- off in a professional manner.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance that work place training is "How to remain respectful and professional with colleagues after the 12z model runs take away your snow."?

The most amped run we had was like .25 qpf up here and you talk about that like it was likely something we can’t get back too. So sorry if I’m lacking enthusiasm for something that the best run of any model ever showed still wasn’t amplified enough to be anything more than another fringe nuisance event for my location.
