NAM is very amped for what it’s worth (very little)

Yeah, somebody’s gonna get NAMed this wknd. 

Brick has done a good job with this, he needs to bring it home.

I do find it somewhat ironic that on a forum based on science one would be offended by “ wishes “

Brick will start it when he is ready. Call the ball Brick.

Day 5 ish…..Bout that time to do the ol’ cycle! 
 

Days 7-10: This looks awesome

Days 4-6: WHERE DID IT GO. *Cliff diving ensues*, people question their passion for weather, anecdotes of storms’ past begin, climate conversations launch.

Days 2-3: WE ARE SO BACK

1 day away: the short range is over amplified and out to lunch

Event: God the NAM was right again

lol, so true. I’ll start, IIRC, the Boxing Day storm went poof on day 5

Looks like you got yourself a new lawnmower for the farm! 

Lol, in the little time they were in the shop they opened all the lower cabinets and the Yeti cooler. Glad they didn’t try the fridge.

That’s a lot of energy flying around with the players not on the field yet. I expect to see some different solutions until the models can get a little better handle on it 

So much this.

Took a break last night and went to bed without looking at the runs. I like where we’re at. Everyone should. This is the most barking signal we’ve had in almost a decade. Last storm we had a windshield wiper effect going but most model suites have generally the same idea and we keep seeing major events on various Ops and ensemble runs. The two caveats I can see screwing this up:

 

1. yesterday was not a good trend in the PNA department. We lost some ground there. It’s inevitably going negative as we head into Feb but for those three/4ish days we need it to quit trending towards neutral. If we don’t have a solid western ridge, we run the risk of the cold dumping south but not south east fast enough. 
 

2. Obvious risk of an amped up storm that creates mixing issues (likely a problem regardless). 
 

aside: we need to have a chat about the GFS. We joke about it quite a bit in this group but I legitimately am not sure you can give it an ounce of weight anymore. 
 

Watch king Euro AI and then prepare to watch king NAM

well said sir , POD

The US Airforce GALWEM which is based on the UK model was a decent hit for Northern Florida, Central to South Georgia, majority of South Carolina, and central to eastern North Carolina. Pretty much all snow and on the back end of the storm even brings frozen precip down to Orlando and Tampa.

Oh my , the band really is back together!

Burger says he will try to make the Euro tonight

I hope I’m not speaking out of turn as I don’t know the personal ins and outs of most of the posters on this board. I’m more of a lurker than anything else. But I wonder what the chances are of getting Burgertime to do a play-by-play of the European Friday night or Saturday night… It’d be fun for old times sake and really bring some good mojo to the board.

He is in the Netherlands. Time difference issues. I just sent him a text.

Monster storm with 8 days to go. What could go wrong?

Going to be a fun day

Good morning boys and girls, anything interesting happening?  

lol, woke up to our boxer losing her mind. Went to let her out and found these cold and hungry critters  (5) on the back porch.

now just got to figure out where they call home.

Not soon enough.

Told you you weren’t going to sleep tonight.

Let us in our pessimism not forget the recent past when even the 240 hour fantasy clown maps were forgiven us. Let us rejoice in the gift of virtual snow.

Just now, Brick Tamland said:

It's glorious.

You’re not going to be able to sleep tonight ,are you?

Pretty good odds the words ,”what storm” will be posted tomorrow. Fun day though.

I feel really good about this one. Euro with a huge storm and then the GFS follows up with a huge storm, too. Not as big as the Euro, but still a big coastal bomb. Euro is usually good at sniffing out the big ones in the long range. Maybe it might not be as big as the Euro and GFS show, but I think this will be the biggest one we have had here in NC in a while.

Pace yourself , we got a long ways to go
