Lock this thread and move on I'd wait until the frameable 0Z/10 NAM run comes out Thursday evening and then cancel. I've already ordered a nice frame.

The title of the thread was basically talking about how we could have a bomb or we could be disappointed which was supported by the ensembles. I will be taking a step back and not be starting any more threads for the good of science. I lit some candles and arranged a bunch of amethyst like Stonehenge before eating an eighth of mushrooms and yelling at the moon for this to work out. Sadly Earths chakras weren't in order. Crystal mommy energy will be placed on the backburner for now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Euro dead! GFS dead! CMC dead! UK dead! ICON dead! JMA dead! That unpronounceable Russian model dead! Niedermeyer dead! But the end of the NAM showed promise and the HRRR at 48 showed good trends aloft, so are we gonna give up? Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwx21 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Model runs tonight were not good. If they're right we're looking at just a coating, but there's still plenty of time. The chance of getting a moderate event has gone way down, but we can still bump this back up to a 1 to 2 inch event Saturday morning with the trough moving through. That would be nice. Hopefully the models tomorrow will beef it back up a bit. I'm not giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving forward. too many posters have not experienced the late 60's weather patterns with the lack of a decent winter storm pattern, no internet and modelogy with six hour runs.. Nothing surprises me the last 3-5 years with the extremes with these storm events as well. All I can say is be patient. The title of the thread should have been "southern sliders or southern comfort - your choice|" Good food with a good drink can create an atmosphere which is needed in this confluence dominating pattern for the youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heading to Atlanta soon. I like it. Thread works... and I'm not down on the moderator - just everything these days is excesses. I think when we get another 2-3 foot snowstorm, folks will get sick of it, after the exhausting anticipation I'll take 2-8" repeat storms in a 3 week period any day... Let's move forward and enjoy whatever snow occurs Saturday morning. I saw CP on TV and the snow Monday looked quite nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A small snow event seems likely Saturday morning-midday the 11th with dustings to possibly at worst 3 inches but am not playing up a major event. Still travel will be slowed in some areas. Maybe the most favored area for uncertain snowfall of 1-3" is the immediate coast of NJ/LI/CT. Treated roads melt but timing of occurrence will have a bearing on the hazard potential, especially with ice cold surfaces preceding this event. Attached WSSI-P graphic for MINOR impact Friday afternoon-Saturday morning. Legend for probs. Red is 60% chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Question for @MJO812: You are visited by a genie who offers you back to back 2025 and 2026 Mets World Series championships, but only mild winter rainstorms for 8 consecutive years, OR a 50" blizzard with a two month snowpack, but Mets losing seasons for 8 straight years. Which do you choose? Mets all day.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually more fun to track something even if it never happens than the feeling you get after an actual snowfall ends. I think thats what the Debbie Downers dont understand, sometimes and in some winters we dont even care if it actually snows as long as we can track a possibility on the models. It's like reading a good suspense novel or watching a suspenseful movie, you know it's not true, but who cares? The reading or watching is what makes it fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to understand that 90% of the fun is the anticipation and tracking on the models. Meteorology is a --VERY INEXACT SCIENCE-- We know it probably won't work out but who cares? We also know Santa Claus doesn't exist but we still enjoy Christmas! Let people have their fun without being a wet sock guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
