  1. Also, is H5 considered upper level and H7-8 midlevel? Just for jargon-understanding purposes
  2. I think I see. So at this point, since H5 appears so unfavorable, we are banking on surface redev to help keep winds from turning SE and washing away our WAA snows/also prolonging our WAA snows?
  3. Can a willing met explain the basic physics principles behind secondary LP development? And what that might mean for this situation, what with the H5 track so far west? Eager minds want to know
  4. considering this is basically a banter thread, for better or for worse, yeah
  5. does closing off the mid/lower levels prevent, for lack of a better term, upper level energy (?) flowing northward unencumbered with the shape of the jet? I'd guess that it's meaningful in terms of wind fields and how different levels of the column change temperature. Am I kind of understanding? I still don't get exactly what would cause closing off to happen.
  6. what about closing off 850 mb heights indicates/causes a colder situation?
  7. GFS ticks east, GEFS tick west. Just isolating trends in the american models, we appear to be narrowing the goal posts between and outer-cape track and a coastal plain hugger.
  8. I'm not a met so you know more than me, but didn't the surface low being more east verify, but we were hit with the H7 deform?
  9. Oh well. Pattern is long. I remember how painful the first storm of March 2018 was because I was delusionally hopeful for evaporative cooling. A few days later, we got a foot and a half, bookended by two half-footers.
  10. I mean, I'd be lying to myself if the GEFS doesn't keep me interested in the threat, but as of now, it's a far eastern outlier. Plus, doesn't GFS/GEFS have a progressive bias?
  11. yeah, not wasting time on a storm which most guidance has tracking over ALB. If it becomes a positive surprise, yay
  12. Not sure if its been posted, but GEFS snowfall mean is very pleasing to most
  13. I wonder how often these events trend east in the modeling from D4-5 to event time. Especially Southern stream fueled ones
  14. Yeah it seems like we dont get enough time for heights to rebuild after the polar shot on Monday
  15. I'm with snoski, I'm more intrigued by the potential element of surprise for Thursday than a day 8 or 9 threat, even if the signal is promising.
  16. No way, I just moved away from West Somerville! Where are you at, generally?
  17. If you didn't have this board, you'd be happy to over-shoot the NWS estimate
  18. What would you call this phenomenon of general intensification and congealing?
  19. Yeah, but even so hopefully we get the decaying band at some point. Apparently thats how these H7 goodies go, they can linger on for long past the system passes, or so I've heard
  20. its a funny idea that someone might melt at being too far away from the freezing line, but I suppose that's a slight over-generalization
