You stole my thunder(snow). He made a very good case for this exact solution even before the GFS came back to life. He definitely has my utmost attention from here on in. The man really knows his stuff.

Yes he does-- he has a very "indendepent" mindset that I have always thought is a sign of true intelligence. Really makes it clear what can go wrong BUT also shows what's needed to make things go right-- and he was right about needing the GOM to make this work.

The timing of this is very interesting to say the least. People that heard little or nothing about the storm and aren't paying attention over the holiday will turn on the news tomorrow night or Sunday and be in shock. Sunday will be an absolute madhouse at the stores.

As an aside did anyone notice the GFS really doesn't warm up until next weekend now and the rainstorm was pushed back to the 2nd-3rd with cold air right behind it.

I started the appreciation thread for him in OT. :lmao: But his post earlier today about what he'd been watching for and what the rest of us should expect was very very insightful. I wish we had more posts like that where equations are combined with visuals to explain a concept rather than people simply screaming at eachother. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

I didn't call my Aunt Marguerite in Bay Shore today, that GFS contamination thing.

This'll be on all the news tomorrow, and she is 85.

Of course, not quite the panic Houston sees the day before a hurricane threat, but still.

Merry Christmas, formerly from the 11758, now the 77014, and we got at least an inch of rain, so everybody is happy.

Per Craig Allen from Facebook.. Id say this statement is worth sharing..

** Good data or bad, garbage in/garbage out, wish for what you do or do not want, no matter what has been said before, from feast to famine to feast....the most amazing thing has happened tonight. EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER MODEL IS NOW IN LINE FOR A MAJOR SNOWSTORM/PSBL BLIZZARD CONDITIONS LATE SUN INTO SUN NGT. NEVER IN 35+ YEARS OF DOING THIS HAVE I SEEN SUCH CHAOS LEADING UP TO A SOLUTION LIKE THIS.

Yeah I posted about this a few days ago. We in the TV world had to make a decision on this storm Thursday as it was the last real news viewing people would do until Sunday. So when all the 12z models were unanimous in no storm, that's what we all went with along the East Coast. The risk with that is that now all the people planning to travel home on Sunday will have NO IDEA this is coming until they are driving through it. That's the scary thing about holiday weekend storms.......

Winter Storm Watches seem warranted right now.

was thinking the same thing...perhaps even blizzard watches from NE NJ on Eastward. If you look at the upton website right now its quite pathetic. They dont even have anybody recieving more than a coating on their snowfall map. I can understand why HPC would be on the side of caution with regards to model errors but to completely toss out the GFS seems to have been a major mistake.

I know.... I think people get so overly emotional about stuff they cant control its ridiculous. Let's just enjoy the moment lol.

I find talking to posters like him a huge learning experience-- because you get down to the "inner workings" and how everything comes together, much better than just model reading-- which doesnt really teach you much outside of learning how to read a map :P

He also made it pretty clear that the GOM was far more favorable than the guidance was projecting.

And Craig Allen has pretty much seen it all lol.

I still remember back in the early 90s there was this one storm where we were forecasted for 5-10 inches of snow after a changeover from rain, and Craig was criticizing the general forecast because he said there were no signs the cold air would get in here in time to change it over to snow. Guess who ended up being right?

We didnt even see a single flake!
