Wentzadelphia Posted January 4 I’d be out on this one for Ne and even down to my area in Philly. I’d focus on the 12th right now imo. Unless we see models change that lobe position it’ll be tough for it to come north 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have the blocking that will be present over Greenland. This current storm slows as it encounters the blocking and that lobe of vorticity has nowhere to go but South and pivot around the exiting low, over the Northeast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 4 If that lobe weren't there, we'd be talking about another storm. That's not to say something still can't occur but it muddy's up the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not to say something still can't occur but it muddy's up the water. Most storms don’t come down the line in place from 300 hours out. I tend to see ripples or changes upstream at 120-200 hours where they come in a side door onto the conveyor belt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WinterWolf Posted January 4 The way this last one went bad 24 hrs out, I wouldn’t trust any of those small nuances at this long lead for this weekend..whether it be “bad” or “good” for us here in SNE. That look and evolution will change going forward. And who knows what will come out of it, or how it will affect the next potential system(s)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typhoon Tip Posted January 4 2 hours ago, Chrisrotary12 said: Personally I think we have a better shot with the 12-13th timeframe than the 9-10 timeframe. Sort of in agreement here ... ( just using your post as a launch pad - am aware no one cares... ) Kind of a broad-stroked perspective but given the past 20 years ? considering the lion's share of snow verification did not take place in a -NAO, and were in fact Pac guided, then adding that this recent NAO's handling: those two aggregated facets = f* this man None of that lends to even wanting to engage in this as a hobby at this time. Ha, can you imagine the professional that is by trade, forced to examine and eat the shit of this pattern? I mean the poor schmuck - LOL I just would rather swipe the eraser lever on this drawing toy known as Internet weather charts... and start a brand new paradigm. If that means returning to the faster flow, progressive needle threading, so be it. We had better productivity that other way. No but seriously ... it seems this convoluted pattern/nebularity isn't handled very well. That Euro 00z cannot be resolved - even by that particular model's touted acumen and monstrosity of daunting complexity built in, that's a convoluted exercise in fractal apoplexy it's trying to manage in the D5-10. And given its own recent performance during this pattern ( *relative to just that regime ) ... well, it's beyond its wheelhouse anyway. What leaps out at me through it all... the PNA - go wonder ... Pac guided ... we just can't seem to pop a western ridge/+PNAP expression, which is needed for basic wave position mechanical arguments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
