MaineJayhawk Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Snowbanks are 8' high here now with 35-45" OTG. Fortunately, we can just keep pushing it into the woods. That was hilarious the other day when you posted an in-truck pic and snowman21 remarked about how the roads were so unkempt and that would not be tolerated where he is. Does he live in some sort of gated community with a dome over it? This is how roads other than interstates look in New England in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Absolutely, Pete....bring on the next one....I'll get a ladder. lol The saving grace is that underneath the top 7", it's concrete, so I'm able to get a footing at the apex of the bankings. Back to the topic at hand. I think this next storm could really come together to be a memorable one. Quite a few key ingredients seem to be present. It'll be fun to watch the models over the next few days. When it's not snowing it's stone cracking cold. I think I'll be in the -20's Sunday night.

Whoops! I thought this was the banter thread. My bad ... apologies to admins, mods and black ops Bob. My mind is wide-open regarding next week. I could see p-type becoming a serious issue for some, maybe even myself. On the other hand, I can see Ray bringing out the trampoline so that he can take snow depth measurements.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 This next event reminds me of the Boxing day event.....I remember that the EURO tried to dig to too far to the south in this range (a bias of the model), only to revert back to more of a Miller B. I think the GFS is closer to reality than the EURO......I doubt it digs as much as the 12z EURO displayed. Now, it does have room to cut because there is no NAO this go around, but I don't think it's going to bomb as far south as the EURO would lead us to believe.

Did you see that youtube clip earlier this Winter that showed NYC sanitation destroying an SUV? The crews around here are Pros they do a great job. The towns here have hundreds of miles of roads through rough, undeveloped terrain. They keep all but the seasonal roads open regardless. We have an old WWII era bulldozer that's equipped with a V blade on the front and a wing blade on either side. They don't use it very often but I saw them working on it today on the way home. They must be following the model trends as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love when the town breaks out the old Caterpillar with the blade under the cab road grader from 1950 , then you know it's a big winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Trending negative as we approach go time no? Not positive. Trending negative. I thought that the NAO was gunna dive and then trend towards postive. Def thought it was going to be negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Trending negative as we approach go time no? Not positive. The NAO is negative trending less negative during the event. It's an east-based -NAO so it's not providing much blocking over the northeast, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but trending + is better for KU events because the block in already established.....better antcedent condtions. Trending negative is better for major QPF events in general, but not I 95 snow. The 18z DGEX looks like something out of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The NYC thread for this storm has 230 people in it...wow. Anyway, I like where I sit with this storm. Any amount of snow would be great, roads are already narrow and snow covered but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Who cares about that? It's not crucial for me to get a good storm, but probably is for me to jackpot......I'll just be happy with a net gain....not expecting another page of history to be written.

DavisStraight Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The High that was over the ocean @ 90 hours or the one over Maine? The one over Maine. The concern seemed to be the high moved east too quick and allowed the storm to go futher inland. We'll see what the Euro says. It seems things eventually align in out favor this year so I feel good we'll get something decent out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
