78Blizzard

The GFS and other models may be underestimating the extent of the snowfall for this system, based on reports out of Texas. Amarillo, for example, was shown to get about 3" and now they expect around 9". A live shot on TWC showed it snowing to beat the band there now.

I don't get why the WSW starts at 7am Thursday and goes thru 7pm Friday.

Ukie was south and weaker, yet it still has low end warning qpf for EMA and most of CT and RI.

I guess I missed the sarcasm.

Congrats James on the GGEM. There's George's 15", too.

The same insulation that retains heat in winter should deflect away the heat from the sun in the summer months. If your insulation isn't up to scratch you will notice that the room that is colder in winter is the same room that is warmer in the summer. I have such a room with a cathedral ceiling. The roof insulation in that room is just below the roof shingles and is some kind of white flattish covering. The only reason I know this is it showed when the roof was replaced some years ago. Also, 3 of the 4 walls are exterior walls, which doesn't help.

Yeah, where is he with a potential jack down on the Cape?

I heard a couple of hours ago that the medical examiner in Galveston was seeking a refrigerated truck capable of storing at least 20 bodies, and possibly up to 50.

I'd be willing to bet that house had no insulation.

Strange that we haven't heard from James on this upcoming storm.

The 850 0°C line gets a few miles N of the canal at best.

RGEM is pretty meh... every 3hr period yields less than 0.1 qpf.

NAM adds a couple more inches after hr72. Still going at hr84.

Start a 10 day thread...?

They always do when they look paltry.

This is as far north as the 0°C line gets. I suppose it depends on whose ox is being gored.

Not really. Colder than 0z, which was the warm outlier.

Ukie is going against the grain and warmer @ 0z than 12z.

GGEM has half the qpf of the GFS. Not as amped.

That Daily Weather Map depicted brings back memories, as it looked just like the ones I subscribed to as a kid back around 1960. Of course by the time you received it in the mail it was a couple of days afterwards, but without our technology today it was a nice way to follow the weather across the country. I think the reports were around 7am on the ones subscribed to. Back in those days postage was like 4-5 cents.

Yeah, let's do that again, although Tip won't like it ruining his mid-March flip. Especially if we get additional snow in April like that year produced.

NAM and RGEM both colder @ 0z at all levels.

George, what was that other weather board? I don't see why you would be on a mid-Atlantic board coming from Foxboro.

I thought he told you earlier that he has been a lurker and just started posting. Sounds to me like he's done enough reading. It's his reputation on this forum that will rise or fall on his predictions. He must be aware of James.

I will say this about that 18z GFS run - that is one cold Canadian air mass near the end of that run, with temps in C Manitoba getting to -50°F to -55°F at night and not getting above -20°F for days at the beginning of March.
