good lord what happened to the trough...that looks like crapola.

It actually looked promising at 72hrs and especially 78hrs as it had the look of the others of sending the gulf low right up into the OV but instead the low moves east/ene till reaching the GA/SC coast where it finally decides to head north/ne. ugh

So we basically can't win for losing.

1. The low should just track up the coast or OTS giving the Mid Atlantic and/or New England a nice hit and thus missing all of us while we freeze our buts in light spitting pixie dust.

2. The low takes a favorable track for our rgion, but the marginally cold airmass modifies and threatens us with a potentially warm storm (GGEM).

meh, maybe 0z will continue to come into the OV instead of its current solution.

you buying it Harry? A high east, low over the great lakes.....not to sound like DT, but there's no way thats snow outside higher elevations.

It is rare but have seen it happen before. I would prefer no low at all over another eastcoast low. That pattern needs to be gone like a bad habit.

And to answer your question. Lets just say i would not bet the farm on it. That track across the gulfcoast almost due east does seem a bit suspect considering everything else. Problem is the kicker that drops into southern Canada/near the lakes which might be why the system stays more easterly till reaching the coast.

Either way my excitement level has gone to nill with this. Never good to have model dissagrement like this so close in because typically the end results are never good. However they do seem to be honing in on a east of apps low as well by the time it gets this far north and so i am 100% certain that it is a miss for here if it is a southern low. Thus need the northern energy to do something.

Yep. I don't think the OV has much of a chance at this one. We never really did. Oh well...on to the next one. :rolleyes::thumbsdown:

disagree....I surrender no earlier than tomorrow 12z.

no model has a handle on consistency. Just yesterday in this thread several people were huggin on the gfs claiming it's probably onto something with its miller b-ish look. This morning it caved to a more substantial digging trough idea. Now all the models show a substantial trough at 72....after that is when they diverge.

I just don't think this is done being written...yet

MEH.. You guys are probably still in the game but nw of there. NO. Only way we get something is if it is all northern energy that does not dive south.

Well, I am in Southern Indiana. I am calling it off for us at least...:thumbsdown:

I'm riding the ggem now, not because it shows the apps runner, but because it makes the most sense of what should happen based on the trough and the upper air data. I'm not seeing much of anything to stop this from continuing the come north instead of comin north only to suddenly make an east shift. I'm probably wrong but I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. March 08 didn't have a good handle until what 48hrs out and even then it wasn't great I remember 24hrs out a 4-8" forecast.

check this out....the ggem has the low you are referring to over NE while the euro has it over the UP of MI....lol

it really sux that the euro went east....but at the same token it isn't exactly an oddity this season. Recall 72 hrs out it took the boxing day storm OTS and lead to the egg all over DT's face...twice

If only that were stronger and the lead southern wave slower. lol

BTW.. Amazingly ( well not really i guess considering the euro ) that SV wrf/nam says a coast hugger with rain east of apps and snow in the higher elevations well away from i95.

Let's hope for a repeat. devilsmiley.gif

I more then anyone has probably given that man more leeway but yeah that is done. Plus i think i pissed him off because i jumped on him at SV when he admitted he trolled that CtBlizz on facebook and they brought the **** there. He always bitches about people doing it to him and then he pulls that. I said it was open season as seing how he admitted that and he has not been back since. Oh well. He can kiss my ass.
