Stormpc Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Been snowing for about last hour. Nice little dusty coating on everything, including street. Merry X-Mas everyone. What a fun, torturous, skitzofrenic week it has been. Enjoy your morning (until 12Z's come out) and lets get back to it later. Good luck everyone and a blessed Holiday to all. Even JI.

Curlyq Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Can someone explain in laymen's terms why it has been so difficult forecasting this storm? Even up until now, we seem to be back in the mix for accumulating snow. I followed the storms in February and they didn't seem to have this much uncertainty. It just seems that this storm has been a particular hard one to get a handle on. Thanking everyone in advance for their replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems that this storm has been a particular hard one to get a handle on. Thanking everyone in advance for their replies. Explosive/rapid cyclogenesis is a sensitive process in its infant stages and when you're dealing with 4+ days out, only a relatively small change in upper level features can have a big impact on when and where that begins. In this case, the handling of the southernmost disturbance was fairly poor, and when combined with phasing and timing issues, resulted in a huge track spread across the major models (lots of confusion and uncertainty -- don't forget that our atmosphere is HIGHLY chaotic) Most often, the heaviest snows occur in a band only 100-150 miles wide (sometimes smaller than that), so even relatively small track changes can have big implications for snowfall accumulation at a particular spot.
