Good luck forecasting based on the pathetic hope of phasing two streams in a violent pacific flow.
-
Yea, I am really letting go of much hope this week. Looks like more of the same crap...at least I've moved beyond the frustration stage. Hopefully if we lose the blocking in February and March, we can steal a few SWFEs, or something.
-
Yea, you guys that got into that band had the season saved. That was everyone's shot at a big one this season, and some of us missed out.
-
I'm being sarcastic, but all I mean is that I feel like you sometimes take salient points and embellish a bit...that's all.
-
Now in addition to the Hadley Cell devouring mankind, the -NAO is the mid latitude snowfall antichrist. John loves to latch onto a kernel of truth and just beat you over the head with it until you promise to agree. 'Cmon, dude.....I'll go to war with a neg NAO every time from SNE points south. This winter is merely an illustration of the fact that it is overhyped, like the SSW and everything else, and no meteorological phenomenon operates in a vacuum.
-
No, its over as far as that is concerned. Ship has sailed, JMHO....but maybe mod nina will rally during the back half of winter for the second time in the past century, you never know-
-
They can keep the 4" of sand.....if it were 24", then I'd be melting away. This winter is crap...every SW that you get is being sheared to shit and staggers into the area, before wilting away.
-
I'm honestly not even mad at this point.
-
Euro actually does looks nice for you guys down there.
-
Epic show.
-
Good luck in a moderate la nina during back half of winter.
-
Yea, I'm like "whatever", at this point....only thing that will get to me is missing a big dog, which I don't think will be an issue this season.
-
Not exactly high stakes....
-
That is going to happen. It gets shredded. South and west is best.
-
I'm turning over a new leaf. I may even beat Ginxy to the next upslope thread...I'm an altruistic weenie now.
-
Yea, not bad....I don't expect much here, but hopefully south of the pike does okay.
-
Well, -AO/NAO does help dislodge cold in the general sense, since it entails higher heights over the arctic, but yea....primary vehicle for the delivery of real arctic cold is an EPO and/or PNA ridge. Having both is ideal for cross polar flow....we had that on roids in 2015.
-
March 2001 was def wet for a time in Wilmington...but you are right, usually the mechanics that drive that type event include arctic HP.
-
12/19 was powdery, though...anyway, the rest are more MECS, than HECS. I'm talking like the 3/01, 12/92 of the world.
-
I can say that the vast majority of my frustrating weather experiences are from subsidence/whiffs, rather than rain....I think 12/96 is really the only one that stands out in my memory. My scars are littered with stories of exhaust, though.
-
There was some in 12/17.....I don't mean CJ in the sense that no one else gets snow. Just that OES enhancement.
-
Seems like every KU is wind whipped powder, with CJ streamers over Weymouth and Norwell.
-
Seems like every big fish is cold nowadays....not too many of those heavy, wet crushers, where you have the sharp gradient near the coast. You would think that there would be more of those given climate change, but there seems to be less.....or maybe they are just rain now-
-
Yea, I remember checking out the 00z Euro like the day after my dad passed, just begging for a distraction and for that ocean tempest to back that ass up...but didn't happen, that month. Cold, dry and windy.
-
Right...I got pissy latter Feb 2011 and into March, and March 2015, but nothing like this.
