shawnmov Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Kocin Uccellini - they wrote the bibles of northeast snowstorms and rate big events Paul Kocin and Louis Uccellini At the GTGs some bring the books and we drool over them A KU event is what we live for... sometimes Tolland, CT gets14" of snow out of these Thank you! I don't think I would have guessed that. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly suggest anybody attend, same conference drinking and talking NAO with Heather Archambault, smart as all heck hot weather girl, man if it was thirty years earlier, any way I digress.

Analog96 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 What is their reference point then? I'm not sure, as I don't really have experience forecasting in the Intermountain West. I know that 850 is a theoretical temperature, though, because the surface is higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog96 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Google can't put information into a new light or tailor it's presentation of knowledge to suit the individual like you, Will, Scooter and others can. Analog is making great posts here too, despite WOTY status I guess I really do know what I'm talking about then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Both of them?!?! (K & U?) HA sounds brilliant from reading some stuff she did Yep I went down for breakfast and they invited me over, they asked a lot of questions and then we talked about 78 for an hour as I talked about underestimated QPF and snow depth and they explained the incredulity of their looking at sat and surface reports. Paul K is the keynote at many of the conf, awesome guys, friends on FB. My fav met Wes Junker is one of the best guys you will meet, when HE talks I have no doubt and take his word verbatim. Donnie Baseball also attends, Don Sutherland, the man is unreal in his humility for his talent,then of course there is our own superstar Will.

weatherwiz Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 When I was reading that paper on Norlun troughs last night and it gave a list of criteria to look out for it noted something like T1-T5 temperature difference. What is T1-T5? Is it something that was just used on the NGM or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Where can if find ECMWF precipitation forecasts? Never been able to find that product. You can't get 'em for free. You can subscribe to Storm Vista for the info. I don't know what the monthly rate is, however. Others here could lend a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowiscomingdown Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ah thanks. I'm almost at that point, to subscribe. My map reading skills have improved enough over the past year or two to make it worth while. I guess I'll just ask you guys to post one every now and again in the mean time.

You won't see the actual Euro QPF maps here for proprietary reasons. You will get a description of the QPF fields by those who have access, however.

Confuzzled Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'd love a newbie guide to interpreting BUFKIT soundings. Bufkit is essentially a skew-T with a lot of options. I have some info and hints on an older version of Bufkit here: http://www.vincentsapone.com/bufkit.html The new Bufkit also has video tutorials with it that are good. In addition, googling Jeff haby skew T should get you to a good page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 How do overrunning events look in the days leading up to them? Do certain models depict them better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 How do overrunning events look in the days leading up to them? Do certain models depict them better? There's usually a large area of light to moderate precipitation streaming ahead of a weak surface low pressure due to the H5 vorticity. I think the NAM sometimes does a nice job of showing overrunning whereas the GFS is a bit paltry in this area, but I'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Is there a "common abbreviations" thread here that I've missed? What is the meaning of PNA? Pacific North America oscillation. Its measured primarily by the heights over W Canada and the heights just S of the Aleutions. High heights over W Canada and low heights over the area S of the Aleutions are a +PNA pattern....opposite is a -PNA (which we see now and coming up) Here is a positive PNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think I get the general concept of "dry air". I am thinking low humidity. I am also thinking we get "dry air" with "high pressure" systems. Now, if I am right about those two, why is it that during snow events that the meteorologists keep commenting on the storm overcoming the "dry air". What is it doing to the storm? Does it change what I expect to see on the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
