I don't get it. Homeowner, 2 kids, etc. 2008 was not really enjoyable. Breathtakingly beautiful, very neat weather-wise, but I will pass. Hope you enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone once said, we don’t live at H5. But if the high moves northeast, we warm and rain. Once we mix out, we warm and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up there with people wanting high risk tornado outbreak or Category 4/5 hurricane to hit their area. Went through 4/16/11 high risk in NC and I swore off cheering on backyard high risk days for rest of my life. That was a terrifying experience. My parents also went through 0.75-1" ice event and that was bad enough... 1998 level is one big nope. 8 minutes ago, dryslot said: 1-2.5" ice accretion here is all anyone should need to know. F' that. Ice storms are pretty until you lose power/heat and trees/lines start snapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're close to popping a 2ndry near Kevin's fanny. In the latest runs, yes. You feel that is because the EPO blocking forced it east? Honest question...I would like to hear from Brian, Will, Scott and Ryan on this. If all you guys can honestly say the EPO block is directly responsible for forcing the upper system to the east, then I am wrong and will learn from the responses. I feel the low levels can trend colder because the of the high, but the mid levels trending east is becuase of nuances with the shortwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the low levels can trend colder because the cold, but the mid levels trending east is becuase of nuances with the shoetwave. My take on it is that all things being equal the epo would tend to cause confluence in the flow (very cold north with a se ridge) thus less chance of a lakes cutter and more opportunity for sheared system with light to moderate snow and ice. It of course can't stop a cutter in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Once in a while you just have to let a Cape Codder or a Staten Islander ‘win’ regardless if they won for the wrong reasons. Just chalk it up to a NAM like win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It of course can't stop a cutter in and of itself. That mid-level confluence helps to strengthen the sfc high. So although Ray is correct that the sfc high isn't steering the ship, that epo ridging is influencing the high. It all works together and the -EPO definitely helps. It worked for Ant this time, but you can't just always see a -EPO and assume a cutter is going to verify cold and wintry for the EC either. There's not a lot of black and white in meteorology. If there was, forecasting would be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think that the way some articulated it was accurate. The EPO does not simply block it from cutting...I think both parties could have communicated better.

Yes, to me the key has been all the modeling started with extension of the TPV in the SW undercutting the EPO pinching it off and developing more meridian flow. A known bias during highly anomalous EPO regimes is for modelling to place energy in the SW. Now as modeling adjusts to the reality of higher pressures and deeper cold in Canada their outputs consolidated the TPV and sheared out the SWave resulting in a less meriodinal flow. Does not preclude warmer upper air from penetrating but does increase CAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
