Yeah we need to stop calling this a hobby fr...most of us couldn't walk away if we tried, lol We could shut off all weather sites and we're still gonna wanna know when it’s gonna snow!
Shoot...since storm 1 seems to have limited moisture potential, if it can't get us at least a modest 3-6", I'd rather that fizzle to leave room for storm 2, tbh
Nothing is ever guaranteed. I'm just saying I don't know if it'll be the usual Nina February monster SE ridge--because with that you have ZERO chance. Better to have A chance
A couple weeks ago I woulda spit at that idea. But this time around I'm wondering if we have a chance with the MJO in a favorable phase as well as a -AO...
Now see...I get storm 1 failing--it's messy. But c'mon man I hope we can get something off off storm 2. If we get zilch from both, that will be annoying even with lowered expectations!
I find that our beloved forum is deaf to these warnings despite them being absolutely spot on (I guess it's not wanting to acknowledge fail probability when the models seem to "lock in"). We need to view this like it's still in fantasy range!
I feel like wave 2 would be simpler...
That was the first one I thought of. I remember watching the rain hitting the window quickly turning into snow...Commutagedon! (can't remember exactly what happened in the forecasting that made that sneak up on people)
I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but I will say that kicker is a more layman-friendly term...Like to me it's makes sense because I can visualize what it's doing and why we need it to not do that/do much less of it.
Do you have a side by side of this with the 6z Euro? (Trying to see if those features you pointed out trended better and I don't have the pretty maps, lol)
