jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 After all the drama and negativity from yesterday’s runs, they are quickly being eroded today. It’s funny how emotional one can get from this hobby. Patience is a virtue. Talk about a "comeback storm". That GFS loop of runs is laughable, and yes, one of the reasons I'd all but written off anything sig with this event. Sigh..models. You made a great post wrt the Low-res vs High-res models this morning. That was great intel on the topic. They may strike kismet on an upgrade if they keep the lower resolution in play until say, h72 then switch to the higher resolution for the near-term. I think in their zealousness to improve the tool, they went to the extreme by trying to pin-point too closely "amounts" at longer and longer ranges. The models are "too sensitive" for their own good now at d3+ imho. Just my comment to your great post this early morning. That 12z GFS via Kuchera map is more like what I'd expect from this scenario. Let's hope we're onto something here. If wave 2 goes big/ger, maybe wave 3 doesn't happen or is a lot weaker than models had it yesterday. Other than a Miller-B x-fer, I don't remember too many situations where a good hit here was followed by a big event immediately on the EC. Maybe my memory is clouded, but nothing really comes to mind. Usually it's us or them. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 12z GEFS...NW shift is legit... And for once, the d3/4 significant shift is our friend. Can the dynamics improve as well, and make this the biggie we've been hoping for? Surprised how much snow survived 51F and full sun even out in the farm fields, not just shaded spots. Then temps plummeted into the upper 20s, another good sign of a change of flavor. Sky currently here at lunchtime has those wispy high clouds indicative of the Jet nearby. All good omens in my experience. 3 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Interesting. Apparently we're not the only ones bemoaning the horrid model performance. From a poster at AmWx I don't think I've ever seen this much consistent inconsistency in the models in winter over the conus in my short years following. 1 or 2 hundred miles on tracks this far out, sure. But we've been seeing 3 to 5 hundred mile to shredded nothingness this winter. I know in the tropics models always struggle with weak systems and with weak steering. There really hasn't been strong ridges and strong lows this season and hardly any deep arctic air dropping down, for a lot of reasons that have been posted, and the baroclinic zone has been very low this winter IMO . I wonder if this is causing the problem with the models across the conus. With such a consistent weak split flow across the conus, as fine a resolution as some have (and that is totally subjective) it's just not fine enough to whittle out the details and/or how much climo is influencing some of them (I'm not sure how much climo data they put weight on). Regardless, if this keeps up, I think this may be one of the worse model verification winters in a long time because d**n near none of them have verified, especially in our area, for snowfall, or QPF for that matter, outside 24 hours. They're not even verifying that well in the mountains out to the W/NW where it should be close to cut and dry. The mountains in BC should have about 800 inches of snow by now lol. Just my armchair 2 cents but something is really strange this winter model wise. Maybe it will snap back late and cover some of the models butts, however, as has been posted, the long range models don't look that good. But then again 2 months ago the long range looked better than it is right now. If this pans out this may be a winter to study the complete failure IMO of the "new and improved" models across the board. I'll wait for someone smarter than me (which are many) and read the book.

(j/k ofc) Thx for taking one for the Mod nonetheless. Going to post the overnight here for posterity to see the contrast with the next one - Light snow possible Wednesday night and Thursday -A medium range guidance consensus suggests that a developing lowpressure system over the Arklatex region early Wednesday will movenortheast and tap abundant gulf moisture. Trends in latestguidance suggest that several weaker low pressure waves will movene and potentially bring our area some light snow Wednesday night. The main sfc low will become better organized over the TN valleyregion and continue to strengthen as it moves ne to the midAtlantic region Thursday. Our area may continue to see somelighter deformation zone snow Thursday well to the northwest ofthe sfc low track. However guidance trends suggest the main lowand heavier pcpn will stay well to the se of our fcst area. The weather pattern will become more tranquil again Friday intothe weekend though some light snow showers and flurries maylinger. 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that final facet be the "juice-up" wild card?? 2 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 SREF mean continues to increase amounts over Oklahoma and Texas and also KC. Wonder if that's due to the pivot or what exactly?

bud2380 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 About 25% of the Euro ensembles bring the 2" line up to Iowa City/CR. So maybe an outside chance we sneak 1-2" out of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Tom's snow had to be extracted from somewhere. (j/k ofc) Thx for taking one for the Mod nonetheless. Going to post the overnight here for posterity to see the contrast with the next one As expected, quite the different tone this afternoon.. - Accumulating snow Wed night to Thu amThis storm system is looking stronger with time. Basically astrengthening low pressure system tracks northeastward throughOhio. We will be on the cold side of this storm...so snow isexpected. It does look like the upper jet will be coupled so thelift will be deep. With a trowal overhead...this will be aprolonged event with snow arriving roughly 21z to 23z Wed thenpulling away 15z to 18z Thu for the synoptic part. Lake effect onthe backside could cause it to linger longer. Impacts are lookingincreasingly likely...especially closer to the low track.

jaster220 Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 12z Euro Control... Nice LEhS signal for S Lake Michigan regions. Also, the expanding shield as it heads our way is very good signal imho.
