I guess if you get far enough north you dont have much of a risk of cutting storms.  I was thinking of Minneapolis.

 

Way too cold for me in the midwest

It looks more like a Miller B to me. Storm drops south through the Plains/Midwest, then east, then turns the corner. Primary into north GA redevelops to the coast. Then that SLP moves nnw into SPA and redevelops again.

I thought Jan. 7 was a Miller A because it did not drop south through the midwest, formed in the Southeast and moved up the coast will very little evidence of redevelopment.

I dislike the Miller classification system. I think it's way too oversimplified. It was developed in the 1940s, before the satellite era, when meteorology was in its infancy. Storms come in so many shapes and sizes. Labeling them A and B does not do justice. Even then I think most people get it wrong.

Simply this is off the charts (both P=VI and V=IR) due to thermodynamics in the atmosphere Excessive Heat Warning... Play w/ these formulas and look at the models GFSv16 is loaded w/ this math formulas.

Good morning everyone. I’ve come to the personal conclusion that our forums Storm anticipation threads hold the key on how to avoid age onset dementia. Anthony, a fine author by the name of James Blish wrote a marvelous story called ‘Cities In Flight’ in it a device called a spin dizzy (made colloquial for the masses) was developed to move Manhattan Island. If you join forces with VBMX and create a similar device you could move the five boroughs, near suburbs and all of Long Island to the extreme north Maine Coast. We just rename ourselves the way way north NYC forum. Considering how the interpretation of any suggestion may be skewed I’d appreciate any hide out suggestions from any/all of the above members. Thank you all for another grey matter exercise morning. As always ….

Good afternoon Liberty. We would probably need another sub forum to handle that one. As always ….

Fact check: true. Real snow comes from biological ice nuclei. Accept no imitations.

I still can't believe that this low is going way inland from starting off way down south. Classic coastal look.

And to think we will all be in the single digits tomorrow morning.

Not sure how old you are, but this was my childhood, and I never believed my dad when he said he used to have snowstorms in the 1960s.

I'm 33 and this is how storms use to be but it's a kick in the nuts because the amount of cold before the storm.

Anthony, I thought you were in your mid twenties. I also remember an early, I believe, 70’s holiday storm ( before you were born ) that started as snow with extremely cold temperatures flipped during the night and less than 12 to 24 hours later we were eclipsing 50. Unc or Don could pin down the event if my between the ears vacancies haven’t imagined it, as always ….

Heh, this is probably going to have an effect eventually. Most powerful stratospheric volcanic eruption in quite some time.

The strength and potential impact of an eruption is estimated using a volcanic explosivity index, or V.E.I., which takes into account the volume of material ejected during the eruption and how high the plume reaches. The V.E.I. of the eruption Saturday has not been estimated yet, but before the eruption, the volcano was estimated to be able to produce an eruption with a maximum V.E.I. of 2.

Interesting. I really don't know too much about these things. I definitely want to look into this a little deeper.

Ok, seems to be an unknown for the time being. However, something higher than vei 2 cannot be ruled out. It's all speculation for now. Something interesting to monitor for sure. Good thread here.

You're probably right. I'm not familiar with these things. I want to try to dig into some research on it sometime soon. Just to have a better understanding myself. It's interesting. I wasn't thinking of specific effects. I just imagine there could be some sort of effects from this.

Was just about to post about the Tonga eruption. One link I found (I have no idea how to post) caught audio from Fiji. Sounds incredible; no doubt scary for the islanders. 
Tsunami warnings up, photos of flooding into the Fijian capital already. Just an awesome display of nature’s power.

It's really impressive. I mean, the pressure wave from the blast is being recorded all over the place. Some flooding is hitting the west coast too.
