RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Don’t worry…if the decaying block had not sinked south this would have phased in the TN Valley for a Cleveland super bomb redux… Clean phases still happen, just for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the multitude of moving parts, the poor data-region the primary feature is coming out of, the potential spin-up of convective-driven vorticity east of the main feature and whether or not that can gain latitude and the overall anomalous nature of the entire setup, this would be the storm to catch people by surprise I'm more concerned with the upper level evolution, and I think moves from things such as the GFS are closer to producing here than it may seem, so I've not yet given up hope, but I'll admit it definitely is much more annoying than last storm where we knew we were getting hit, just trying to fine-tune all the smaller details. He're we're trying to fine-tune the entire damn system lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He're we're trying to fine-tune the entire damn system lol 100% agreed. Overall, it seems very unlikely we see the changes needed but it's much closer than it appears. I also hate comparing storms, particularly different setups and this is nothing like last week. This is a totally different animal and additional processes being added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this winter has quite a bit of time left in it. So there's definitely more opportunities for something. I think the mindset is when we have something comes through that gives us all the goods, we want more. But unfortunately that's not what happens, at least not right away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxbear25 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 9 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: That had already happened by this point last week...running out of time. Largely, yeah, though it continued tweaking ever so slightly until game-time. I'm working under the assumption we dont need a massive shift to allow these two pieces to divorce more cleanly than they currently are. Is it a hail mary? damn straight. Would I forecast it, hell no. Moreso typing a steam of thoughts as to how this system could theoretically work. Regardless of the final outcome, its an incredibly fascinating storm from a meteorological standpoint, and, to me at least, trying to pin down any potential variables and how they could potentially affect the outcome is alot of the fun of forecasting, even if its an insanity-inducing PIA lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I never had a problem with this winter ..even before this last bigger snow producer. I just figured it for over-achieving on cold alone- I realize the demarcation is based upon snow fall, but that's endemic to these individuals and collective psychology amid this very niche' social media. We had early blocking ... we had snow threats. Some minor ones panned out. But a bigger event eventually transpiring was a parlay when we had/have a cold biased winter pattern persisting the way we did. Notice also ...we didn't get a bigger deal event until after the N. Pacific corruptive variant of the -WPO plaguing Dec was finally fully vanquished. That was a toxic relationship with that giant narcissistic block, LOL. Anyway, we got back to episodic -EPO bursts and allowed the Pacific to undercut for a coffee break and we get a STJ drive snow bomb out of it. Anyway, even if we didn't get this 15 to 20 incher, we probably would have ended up near normal by the end off 2-3" buck shot adding up over the long haul. So there... normal snow in a cold winter. The problem is... that psychology ^ ... people tend to judge the winters based on weather that they get that psychology masturbated or not. So that's really a different discussion entirely..

Hailstoned Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 21 minutes ago, OrangeCTWX said: Feel like we have seen more of those in recent years. It does seem in general that organized, coherent coastal lows as opposed to strung out disorganized synoptic situations, such as the present, have been lacking in recent years. (Due to the preponderance of fast flows Typhoon Tip often references?) We got away with a biggie this past weekend because it was less a storm and more a situation of exceptional overrunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westminster? on Rte 2. Was at 10F by the time I got to work 15 minutes later This morning was nuts. I had -15 in my truck at home so I went back in the house and 2 of my thermometers were at -14. Coldest day I have ever seen in Gardner. Drove to work in Fitchburg and it was 5 in the parking lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbweather Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 While trends aren't great this morning, it will be interesting to see how these multiple low scenarios end up working out, or if we can get a last minute consolidation that helps a northward trend.

That and the BN after, keeping a nice, white, useful snowpack in place. Oftentimes we get 2' of snow and it's 45 the next week and gone into slush and puddles. The globals haven't shown a high much above freezing in SNE before Valentine's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how much you put into this. Don't beat yourself up, as much as we think we see what's going to happen, the atmosphere has many tricks up its sleeve. Plus everyone appreciates all your input with your analysis. Don't let this one get you down, there will be another that will work out. Sometimes checking out for a bit is good for the soul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like I had a map out or anything. I'm just gassed from January recap/February preview I did yesterday, all the while enduring a busy day at work. I wanted to go into vivid detail because it was an absolute clinic in seasonal forecasting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
