Dr No Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 call me crazy, but I really hope the RGEM jumps on board I would prefer 2 short range models agreeing on this regardless of what you think of either or both It was on board at 18Z when if closed off the 500MB energy around Louisville KY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 so you're the sunovabich that bought a new snow blower and screwed us also guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 To Ian's post, NAM showed gobs of QPF this morning as well. 500 similar to 12z, smidge south.. see if it gets any support. from snow hole and suicide causer to leader of the qpf pack in one run. yeah but on dec 26 it did well.. figuring out the cutoff to the west more than anything, and this is a different set up.

lsukev Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 still don't like the proximity of that snow hole to our SW I was just thinking that same thing. Get that damned thing away from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I personally won't get excited until your NOGAPS jumps back on board When the Jirean jumps on board it will be guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 still don't like the proximity of that snow hole to our SW I know........I'd feel better and less nervous if we were in the 8"+ zone. But this is exactly what some Miller B's do, check out the cutoff in Feb 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The national radar is impressive. Looks much juicier than the NAM sim radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colonel Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The national radar is impressive. Looks much juicier than the NAM sim radar. Make sure its not Intellicast's Weenie radar. You'll be shamed if so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Make sure its not Intellicast's Weenie radar. You'll be shamed if so... Nah I roll with NWS national enhanced. There is precip about 2 states to the right of where the NAM thinks it should be. Not sure if that means it's juicier and better or faster which might be bad.

Ian Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 the nam is probably just too gung ho and overdone with precip in the mid-atl. i think the run was good either way... it's just beyond 'funny' to see the 6 hr swings from some at this point.

Do I trust anything they say right now? Nope. This is not the same deal as dec 25 unless you live southwest of the city, This has a stronger 500 trough with it earlier than that storm did. Still it's a miller b type storm which are tricky but it's not going to be a whiff (famous last words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It is pretty funny to read them though.... It's no joke, really. Could be a very serious situation anywhere when you're talking pretty significant icing. I experienced an ice storm down south (Atlanta), and it's seriously not fun, especially if you've got people who might actually think they can drive in it. Not to mention the possible/likely power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
