TT-SEA Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 That's what happens when everyone is scared away by the prospect of being labled a wishcaster for taking about anything good. Really? Give it a rest. There is a HUGE difference between months of silly, irrational optimism and a genuine opportunity only a week away. Everyone here knows that and you are intentionally being annoying.

Jesse Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I will say this. If we do get any kind of arctic air, odds are low we will see another completely dry event (for places up north) like December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 You know the thing about the 12z is that the actual evolution that leads to the arctic outbreak is in the believable range and the arctic front itself is within 10 days.

Timmy Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I bought a short sale home at 1500ft elevation with 4 ft tall grass and blackberries overgrown on the lawn. This weekend I was able to mow it down with as much ease as in june or july. That is my silver lining in this drought. And now I get to participate in the high elevation club snow club with Tim and Andrew. Sorry Jesse, it looks like your area will no longer be a snowy spot since you moved there...

This winter so far and last winter have easily been the two most inactive back to back winters out here in years. December 2013 and January 2013 were both very cold months in Stevenson, but pretty quiet all things considered. Hoping February 2014 can make up for that in a big way.

Details will flucuate wildly of course, but it looks like we could be moving toward something good.Not to be rude, but weren't you downplaying the whole event last night based on a few bad GFS runs?

Gradient Keeper Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Pretty decent suite of 12z operational runs eh?... Ensembles improved too. Not biting yet, not even excited, but I am somewhat optimistic. I am really interested on how the EURO Ensembles will look. Hopefully we build from here with 00z transpiring roughly the same and start a new, colder trend. It's pretty D**n cold here I'll tell you that much! 36.5, cloudy, and howling east wind 35-40mph. It is likely 95-105mph(if not stronger) at Crown Point, but I have no idea the sensor is down as is Corbett's (Power outage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
