jburns Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yup especially when I am 40 and the mother right behind me in age and the fact she has a 19yr old and a 16yr old already......gonna be a BIG life change. I was 41 and 43 when my last two were born. I bought some serious term life insurance to make sure they would be taken care of in case I crapped out. It's cheap. Just be prepared to be the oldest dad at the soccer matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DopplerWx Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 just a gut feeling, but i really like our chances for next tues. gfs did its typical supression and now getting withing 150hrs it ticks north, plus the gefs has plenty of cold and the lp coming thru the panhandle. we could still miss but man it is a great look this far out.

I am 41, so heck no 40 isn't old! I had the "procedure" several years ago, so the two we have are the two we are stuck raising (9 and 12). If we get pregnant now, there will definitely need to be a "discussion" at our house... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ever storm we end up tracking will also have highs and lows with each model run. It will be grueling with late night model watching and lost sleep. And at the end there will, of course, be winners and losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many storms actually do remain suppressed when they're modeled that way, keep that in mind. They all don't just pop North and say surprise!!. With that lake low that keeps showing up too, I can't get excited. Hopefully the following weekend produces when we get a true -NAO (maybe).

SnowDeac Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Greetings everyone. Long time reader, very infrequent poster. I'm heading out to Jackson Hole, WY for a ski trip next weekend (MLK Weekend) and am trying to scout my snow chances. Based on my limited knowledge, it looks like the SE might have a better chance for a storm than the Northern Rockies during the time frame due to the split flow/blocking/trough digging in the east. Mountain forecasts are always tough, especially long range, but the pattern looks less than ideal. Anyone want to take a shot at a general early call? Looking forward to many chances and snow on the ground when I get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No snow for you Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Bye bye Natty Gas! lol yep. Feels like a margin call for a big guy to by honest with you. Congrats Shaggy. You get to stay up for the Euro since you will be feeding a baby then anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to stay up for the Euro since you will be feeding a baby then anyway. I was thinking that once Burger moved to Europe he could provide play by play every night during a threat. He'll be 7 hours ahead of us so that would put him at 8 to 9 am over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Man, JB's post about how insane the GFS/GEFS is... man why are we even looking at it? It's out of it's mind. I know JB has a history of going with the cold side of things.. but the GFS is absolutely horrible so far with proof vs other guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 If we don't get some good snow before the end of the month with the -AO/-NAO and +PNA, then it pretty much goes against all the factors we have for our best chance of getting snow here.

Burger will be 7 hours in the future...he can tell us what the Euro will show so we can go to sleep at a decent hour...and during nowcasting time, he can tell us how much cold rain we will get before it gets here...wait a minute...that's not right...I'm confused now!...I hate time travel!
