But we are running short on time. I keep peeking at H5 on the ensembles and thinking, something good should come of this. But then run after run things are all over the place and then generally head the wrong way. Just easy to say its not our year...Ninas in the MA usually suck.

The problem right now is wave one develops too late for us but amps just enough to squash vort 2 that swings around when the trough is in prime location for us. But minor adjustments and that can work. Weaken wave one. Increase the space. Slow down wave 2. Dig the h5 deeper. Wave 2 comes in more amplified. Any combo of that could suddenly pop that. It's not likely but it's possible and worth watching. Trying to nail down any follow up energy revolving around that closed low will have you pulling your hair out at this range. Only take away I get is that the 4/5 day storm is still possible and/or a follow up a day or so later. And who's to say we haven't seen the end of the changes at 500 mb over top to boot.

showmethesnow Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 GEFS looks better at 108 hr where it looks to pop the coastal low for the day 4/5 storm. Looks as if it is favoring south from the 12 z very roughly around the VA/NC border. Edit: Actually I lied. Pretty close to the 12z to the south it is just a touch faster. But we do see a slight adjustment to the east as it tracks off our coast line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transferred later. Stronger lakes primary longer. Lost the day 10 threat. Not a single member gives D.C. More then 1" from either threat 1 or 2. And only about 3 even give my area anything at all. One huge outlier accounts for almost all the mean snowfall up here. It was an awful run I can't find any way to sugar coat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel optimistic about the day 9 threat. It's right before things break down and it the 3rd storm in line. 1st was for upstate New York. 2nd storm on the 6/7th looks like a good hit for central and southern New England and the next would be ours as things begin to break down. Unfortunately I think this may be a forum devider since it's so late in the season but I hope not. It just seems like historically when the blocking begins to break down our number is called. It's a shame this blocking didn't set up 2 to 3 weeks earlier. Still wouldn't of guaranteed we would get hit but definitely would of given us an easier way to win. I know blocking doesn't magically Trump everything else but it definitely helps cover up flaws in any given pattern that would negate our snow chances.

This winter kept us interested basically start to finish but we couldn't get anything to cross the finish line. We had more than enough "typical" opportunities to hit 10-20" through the region. My buddy is Ches Beach thinks this winter was pretty good. Lol. He's pretty honest about measuring and he got over 15" this year. Same with my mom in Cambridge.

At least last winter only had the one March threat that didn't pan out...at least it wasn't a teaser and ya really didn't care most of the year. This winter? Nothing but a teaser. And we have missed snow just about every way we can...mercy. This is a snowshield winter...one of those winters where there seems to be a giant snow forcefield around the region, smh Ack!

Experiential foresight will trump hindsight every single time in A Nina I'm amazed you fit that much wrong into so few words. 1. There is a big difference between seasonal forecasting and forecasting a specific day or threat. You go on and on about the Nina like your teaching us something we don't know. Everyone expected this year to suck. We said so way back in the fall. We know ninas aren't typically snowy. You don't have some secret there. But "nina" isn't a way of forecasting specific events. There have been warning criteria snowstorms in crappy Nina years. 8 of the last 10 ninas had at least one "warning level" event for a significant part of the region. 1999 march 2000 January 2001 January 2006 February 2008 December 2009 March 2011 January 2012 and 2016 were the only total fails so stop acting like Nina means it can't snow. It means it's unlikely to snow much. And it means odds favor below avg. But flukes happen. Those are facts I listed. Yet you keep saying Nina all winter as if that's a valid forecast. In years where we fail completely you look smart and then in years like 1976 or 1999 or 2006 or 2009 when it snows late during an overall crappy Nina you look like an idiot. Back in 2015 at the time I thought the best part of that late turnaround was it would finally shut up all the idiots that scream persistence all the damn time and pretend they know what's going to happen based on what has. You were in the group whining about it that year too. We all know when it's a snowy pattern it's likely to keep snowing and when it's not it's not. We aren't stupid. But sometimes patterns change without warning during a season. And sometimes a fluke happens within a bad pattern. So we track because there is always a chance and we like too. Not because we think it will snow. 2. Some of us like to discuss the why not just the what. We like to analyze. We like to learn. You just want to make a forecast that's fine. You made your point. You have repeated this same crap 500 times now every year that we don't get much snow. No one is telling you how to predict or how to talk about the weather so why don't you worry about yourself and let us talk about the weather how we want too also.

Enthusiasts who enjoy discussing long range weather are doing it all winter long in a thread that's even titled "long range". Wow! It's so inappropriate. What's even more inappropriate is for someone who basically never participates in coherent discussion in this these threads to come along and be a condescending know it all "telling us how it is".

clskinsfan Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Man. Congrats Minneapolis this run so far. Nice storm for the midwest this week. The GFS is showing a little thump with the frontal passage this run. Maybe one of us can steal an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
