weatherwiz Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Didn't see a thread on this. 0z NAM running now, looks like some spots may be able to pick up a few inches of snow or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Lots of little s/w troughs in the flow. The main weekend clipper falls apart on this run. The vort is weaker and less consolidated. The first s/w tries to give NE some snow showers early on Saturday though. Looks like there may be some areas of llvl convergence. Then another s/w passes through on Sunday with much ado about nothing. Looks like a few days of BKN/OVC skies and snow showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabize Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Do you mean Currier and Ives? You know who Burl Ives was? Used to sing "The story of the grey goose" on long car trips with my family as a kid - kind of like singing "99 bottles of beer", but funnier and kid friendly. Ives was a 1 of a kind a '40-'50s singer who specialized in rustic/folk music for kids. They don't make 'em like that any more..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Do you mean Currier and Ives? You know who Burl Ives was? Burl Ives was all about the Christmas music, and Rudolf. Currier and Ives for the winter visual, and Burl Ives for the Winter sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the clipper, I'm not sure who was saying it would amount to anything more than a few flakes out of a cold/dry flow........ Was it advertised by a model that was not shamed into obscurity by the events of last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 The GFS looks a bit better than the NAM does a bit more moisture to work with as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Do you mean Currier and Ives? You know who Burl Ives was? It was a joke post. I believe it was BIrving who said the same for the last storm and it is evidently a long-standing joke going back to WWBB. I know who Burl Ives is - a Burly man who drives with his arm hanging out the window of his SAAB. 06z NAM still ain't delivering the goods.

ORH_wxman Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I'm not impressed. Maybe an inch tops. Probably just snow showers around. The leading shortwave screws up the better one behind it and doesn't give it room to amplify like we saw on models 2-3 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even today..we'll see coatings this afternoon/evening Nah, I'm not going to go snowy in this one. It doesn't work out every time. The 4-8" forecasts were much better in the fluff bomb last week than the balls to wall 8-12". It should be good mood snow though. Coating to an inch is my call. Maybe someone lucky gets an isolated 2" amount but that looks tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 NAM is better for tomorrow, but not enough ridging out ahead of it to really get some good inflow into this. Perhaps the Cape could see a couple of inches out of it. Still with the vortmax south and a cold airmass..maybe we can squeeze an inch out of it. Maybe a little more in some areas..esp south. It looks like the type of feature where most of the lift is in the 700-500 layer. Probably one of those things where the precip shield it patchy, but there is a smaller, concentrated area of snow that gets a few people with an inch or more. NAM actually has decent lift and RH in the 850-500 layer which is a good start, but I wish we had more inflow from the south or even east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
