Posted by SeanNyberg,

my God, this forum has devolved into the worst of the worst. It's always emotional and reactionary in here, but it seems that the rational and seasoned members have pulled back to make way for the kids. I'm going to step back for the day too. It's just too much uninformed nonsense. I am excited for a lot of you guys, because it seems like this is your first time tracking a PNW winter storm. I remember my first time.

It's good to be back lurking around here, kinda missed you degenerates :)

 

From now on, when friends or family ask "if it's going to snow?", just copy/paste your local forecast discussion into chatgpt, it actually doesn't totally suck for a response.  Bonus points for telling it to answer "like a surfer" lol

EPS control run is faster... quite a bit of a SE shift at 144 hours compared to 12Z run at 150 hours.

And plenty of arctic front snow for Randy!

Must be a convergence zone otherwise it would be moving.

@TigerWoodsLibido is in the blue. Must be a mistake. We have his assurance nothing ever happens in his town.

We are in perfect shape now!! I believe he said the same thing last year and before as well, then never admitted his mistake! This is coming together very nicely now!

No... control run is really limited.   Precip in 24 hour periods and total precip and snow.

Why do we get so excited over a control run?  I really am curious.

Why? Because it doesn't happen very often? This is one example of why I despise this dude. If it's doubtful based on the available information then that's a poor prediction.  Or maybe because his atari based computer program shows very little snow in the lowlands? He said the same thing in 2019, 2021 2022 lol.

Because it’s as close as we can get to a euro operational run at 18z. And I’d bet it’s really dam close. It’s usually in total lockstep with the operational out to day 6 in 12z/00z runs

That looks great. Is the blocking better than the 12z?

Yes.  The positive heights anoms on the AK / Yukon border are lot stronger.

Anybody concerned about the trajectory of the incoming cold?  D**n near looks like it's going to have to jump the Cascades and spread west rather than a north to south ride.  I just never like seeing/relying on cold coming from that direction.  Those mountains can be hard to jump.

He probably has Rich Marriott over as we speak and are taking straight shots of prune juice while they are monitoring this thread on their Blackberry’s.

Well, I am definitely NOT emailing him and inviting him to @iFred's meet up on Thursday. Don't want to get his wrath again. Maybe Fred should invite him though? Could he ride his bike to the location or is it too far from the Burke Gilman Trail?
