DareDuck Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ah D**n looks like we're getting nothing from this tonight. The band over Eugene just fizzled out on its way here and the rest of the energy is 100 miles too far south.

Deweydog Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 He kept talking about getting a little snow on Sunday going into the inversion... but just glossing over Monday and Tuesday. And probably tomorrow as well since it will not be an inversion yet.Criminal. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just could not mention on Sunday that the gap between the snow and the inversion was much larger than he was saying.

Precip intensity was just too light. Did not want to tell him it would never make it to the inversion at that time... which was pretty clear in the models. Would have been nice to get something though.

Snowman5678 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I rest my case about humidity and dew point being the hardest thing to measure. Over time the sensors become increasingly inaccurate due to dust and other contaminants. I have tried analog instruments to measure humidity also without great success.Yeah, it is difficult but it seemed pretty accurate to me until it went batshit crazy on Sunday. 33.6 degrees with fog here. My station thinks the humidity is 8% and the dew point is -21... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I will say the GFS in the 7 to 10 day period is about as close to a magic act as I've ever seen in the model world. Absolutley bizarre progression. There are enough weird details in this situation to where we could see some interesting variations in the progression of the inversion. I'm hoping we can get the perfect details for this end up an inversion on steroids. This is the right time of year for it. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

That and the fact I simply like to feel cold air in the winter.The first 10-15 days of January will still run warm over most of the nation due to NPAC jet extension/vorticity associated w/ progression of tropical forcing. The flip to -NAM will be beneficial in the long run, but largely meaningless in the near term. California will cash in, though, and the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley/East Coast will finally start racking up snowfall. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that's in the cards. WRF does show things clearing out over there as the cut off comes into play but I consider that a little suspect.
