January 17-19th Plains/MW/Lakes Storm Potential


A-L-E-K

Recommended Posts

lol, no one was freaking out, then someone said people were freaking out and a shytstorm ensues.

Phrases I’m looking forward to never hearing again “It hasn’t been sampled” and “anything can happen”, it has been sampled, and anything most certainly can’t happen.

Some people were hoping for a classic panhandle hooker, looks pretty unlikely. Some will still see snow, lets move on.

I gave up after the 00z runs. :lol: I have seen this played out one too many times this winter and know how it works. So all is good. :)

But some do need to get real. Not just those in hype or downplay mode either.

Quite good for who? Yourself and those in MN again perhaps? The southern solution would have worked out alot better for more folks in these parts. This screws alot more people. Lets not kid ourselves here.

Tired and old. I won't even bother with this silly comment except to say we are near or just a tad above normal.

Alek you are just wrong, the Pacific other than ship and satellite is a vast data void. So to say it has been sampled is about as loose of the term as you can get.

I've read (I think Baro_inst may have posted it) that the quality of satellite data has progressed to the point where it's almost as reliable as RAOB data. I'm guessing there's some dissension within the met community about that claim though.

Yeah I just know how things have been even this year with systems out in the Ocean and then what happens when they get into the RAOB network. It might be believed that it is almost as reliable, but I am highly skeptical.

Point is that IS why you prefer that over the southern solution. lets not kid anyone. Nothing wrong with wanting it in your backyard. Heck everyone here does.

With the wind fields yes, and even thermal profiles with the satellite soundings. It is a common misconception that the region in the Pacific is completely un-sampled. While it would be preferable to have obs, especially for moisture reasons, the improvements in satellite observations are rapidly catching up to in-situ observations like RAOBS. Replace them? Never, but we are no longer where we were 10-20 years ago where the oceans were data-void regions.

Oh wow you never stop. I don't prefer any solution. I don't skew the forecast so it improves my BY forecast. Geez. If you can find anything that suggests otherwise let me know. I don't take facts and wish-cast them so I cash in.

Yeah maybe I should have said weak data region but the fact is the RAOB network > Satellite data.

I say wait till we get a more typical nina pattern and or like we had in 07-08/08-09 and see what happens. I highly suspect a few are gonna be eating their words. Thats me though.

defintely have seen 2 east coast storms trend significantly when energy came ashore this year......Tip always banging that drum as you all know so i was aware of the change.....whether it was coincidence or not, i dont know..

Yes because they are fully sampled at that point and the errors that would come with Sat/ship data or missing data are much less with the RAOBs.

Quite honestly a southern solution would have been worse, and a lot of folks would have seen rain as I mentioned last night--especially in the southern OV. The current running GFS shows a northern solution can be quite good.

See what i quoted above.. sheesh..

Depending on your view of what the southern OV is not many on here are from that area that is involved in THIS thread. Most are from north of the Ohio river which most consider the Northern OV region. Then you have those in the Lakes etc. Thus what YOU like prefer ( as stated in quoted post of yours ) is not what most others here prefer. Thats all. :)

wow talk about some thick tension in here this morning lol I can barely see! lol

anyways, 12z GFS is another 3-5" snowfall here...and another one at 132hrs.

was a good run for us, surface temps become a little sketchy, but it looks like we’d seen decent rates for a short time. Also, lol @ the difference between it and the 12z NAM inside 84hrs.

Just for the record, I didn't find what baroclinic_instibility posted as being laced with ihby weenism. But that's me. I've been toggling between this board and work so I'm not paying real close attention.

I agree, my thing is that he mentioned lack of a Southern solution which caused people to jump off, where as I think there is a lot still on the table and probably will be for another day or so.

ya quite the warm push at 850mb at 78hrs here, 55kts. would be quite close temp wise but would another couple inches if that verified.

gotta laugh at the snow its showing for next thursday, 0z didn't have anything.

Agree. IMO when he mentioned that the northern solution would be good for alot I took that as for this system your going to get some snow southeast of the sfc low like for my spot for example on the 12z run.

you guys better keep it down...:whistle:

we're going to get so burried.

southern phase or not, looks to be pretty dynamic, someone on the southern edge of where it stays all snow, should see some pretty heavy rates for a period.

The silliness will end here. One must attempt to defend their own actions when another is doing whatever they can to toss them under the bus.

Harry:

"Point is that IS why you prefer that over the southern solution. lets not kid anyone. Nothing wrong with wanting it in your backyard. Heck everyone here does."

Then the later response by Harry is :

"Depending on your view of what the southern OV is not many on here are from that area that is involved in THIS thread.

Then you have those in the Lakes etc. Thus what YOU like prefer ( as stated in quoted post of yours ) is not what most others here prefer. Thats all. :) "

Cut the act Harry and realize some folks do try and forecast what happens, not what benefits their backyard.
