Lowershoresadness Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 good to see moods uplifted by sweet model runs but stay grounded as weather likes to give us the frequent 'FU" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84 Hour NAM Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The 18z GEFS was the first run where our mean snowfall decreased and where whiffs showed up. I really do hope that was an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Storm mode 5 days before a storm. What could possibly go wrong. I'm kidding. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've come around on naming of storms. Initially thought it was silly, but it can actually help in this day of social media. And for archiving data/info purposes, it's a heck of a lot easier to do it by name than date. How many people remember the exact date of Andrew or Isabel or Hugo? You sure remember the name.

Stormpc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I already sense the stress levels going up. Its warranted. Only 4-5 days away. This is going to be a fun ride. Win, or lose. THIS is what this forum is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Storm mode 5 days before a storm. What could possibly go wrong. I'm kidding. Sort of. Yea it's a little insane to go to storm mode this early. In my 13 years on the boards i never remember it happening this far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but some of the weather Channel names are just odd....winter storm Yolo? Hope we never get to that one, unless I get 12 inches of snow from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighStakes Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Social Media was not at the height it is now back in 2010. Just wait until the casual observer and average citizen starts hearing about a potential blizzard in the next day or two. It's going to be insane hype.

87storms Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yea it's a little insane to go to storm mode this early. In my 13 years on the boards i never remember it happening this far out. I picture it as tracking 2 cars about to collide. If each model run increases the speed of one car until they hit that doesn't mean the next run will also hit. It could continue speeding up the car until it's miss on the other side. So yea I'm a little cautious at this point until we see a few more runs showing a hit. Tuesday morning...storm still there...I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84 Hour NAM Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I am tracking the s/w as it crosses the Pacific. I'll be giving long/lat updates every 6 hours to go along with comparisons to model projections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
