January 18th Back Door NW Trend Snow OBS Thread
Ralph Wiggum replied to Mikeymac5306's topic in Philadelphia Region
Its like time traveling back to my youth. I will be disappointed if we get another good pattern (Jan 24-Feb 3ish) that doesnt produce. But thus far we have had a solid season. Chances are, we arent done yet. -

Coming down at a pretty good clip right now. Temp hovering around freezing. Bristol Road caved again. Rough guess 3/4"/hr rate. -

I thought I saw that too but I was like this doesnt seem a very dynamic situation upstairs. Maybe it is. Nice 3.25" so far today. Its like the jelly of the month club...this is the gift that just keeps on giving. Will be approaching 20" on the season by end of the night. Winter of yore! -
Started with this for HH. Kinda strong asf. Imma keep going, 3 'pounders' left. Not sure what shape I will be for 0z

Op is a mess....dives that 1052 hp all the way to Georgia. Sets up a return flow out of central America as it propagates to the Bahamas. That would be not good. Ensembles the way to go. Im even skeptical of the Allen Iverson models tbh. Going with what we know wrt forecasting at this range.
-
Op is cold asf, thats for sure. Too much of a good thing. No matter what, if this solution verifies, the cold is goong to relax at some point and that ull is going to lumber eastward. Delayed but not denied friends. Eta: i dont buy this op run fwiw

Time that Baja low right with the western extension of the pv dropping south in response to ridging up top and KABOOM! We are not too far off. Wtf is that baja low gonna do?
-
That Baja Blast upper low is a BIG piece of this. Does it sit and eject waves? Does it come across as one big bowling ball? We already know almost assuredly that we are getting a cold arctic high coming South.

The Cooks ball was a catch. Caught, controlled, and knee down. It was rigged 100%

The ens means like a more Northerly track. Under the hood it seems there are a few members NW of us, a few big dogs in our region, and a cluster of weaker systems to the South...so the means could be skewed. Regardless, should make for a fun week of tracking. Glad I took vacation this week! -
I really thought a few days ago it was going to sit longer and come out delayed after the 27th. Still could, I suppose. But I am quite OK with it being ejected as depicted on the ens means and getting an ECS this weekend.

I forgot, 98% of yous guys want to be in the bullseye at this range, so yeah...
