No...even Cohen has said that the bitter cold is remaining in Europe. I'm fine with 30 and heavy snow.
-
Ended as a period of sleet in Wilmington, and then slot...rain got up to about 128.
-
Well, it was a mega SWFE...the snow was, whatever....but the drifting was nuts.
-
I jacked in 12/9/2005, but I have to say that I would rather do the superstorm over again...comparable amounts of snowfall, but that wind and drifting was/is unprecedented for me....distant comps probably Boxing day and Feb 2013....little flash freeze event in March 2005 was impressive, too, but March super storm in league of its own for wind and drifting.
-
I am amazed you pulled 5' drifts in that....I don't recall much wind, as it was a fairly weak low. Not doubting you, just saying...
-
Storm was not meh for me....maybe because you are used to wind and drifts, but I have never seen anything like the drifts in my area. 15" front end dump, but like 5' drifts....never seen that before here...to this day.
-
Yea, as is prone to happening in my area, I got caught between intense low level fonto JUST to my south and east, and some mid level goodies back over ORH CO (where else?). The coastal frontogenesis was particularly intense, and augmented by OES assist bc it was a very cold storm. What also compounded the mesoscale nature of the snowfall was that cyclogenesis was fairly middling. Perfect recipe for subby screwgie.

Synoptic incest.

Dec 5, 2003 is def. my worst winter memory.
-
I wish i had missed 12/5/03....I feel violated by ole' man winter.
-
Poster child for 5 PPD if I have ever seen one.
-
You have to be kidding....you fight me tooth and nail for being pessimistic in a flawed pattern, then bail on the eve of the legit pattern.
-
1/23? Doesn't matter at this range, but this is not a SW blow pattern.....nor does that solution look like it to me.
-
Oh, totally....it gets provides the impetus for the entire pattern change....well, enhances it, anyway.
-
Yea, I'm just tempered by the lead time, at this point.
-
Eh.....sell.
-
I wouldn't hold your breath, and I see you haven't, as evidenced by the crickets chirping after the bet proposal.
-
This is what I mean.....some timing nuance in the longwave pattern is just off. Was also thinking 2015 inverse.
-
Obviously clown range, but that is a completely viable solution on the GFS IMO.
-
Yea, but you would think out of sheer luck one would wax as it nears....no breaks.
-
I know, but you would expect the timing of these nuances to change, and it has not.
-
You won't get my best material because we are on the verge of a good pattern.
-
I agree it will change, but it seems they always deamplify as they approach us.
-
I know that, but I mean relative to the life cycle of the SW...they are always at their nadir as they pass our longitude. Its like a longwave defect in the pattern for us this season.
