OmahaSnowFan Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 7 hours ago, Tom said: This comment may be off topic but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'm not a conspiracy type of guy but I'm also not naive and I can read between the "fine lines" and see the "signs" so to speak. Anyhow, you hear Dr. Fauci and all these top officials saying to prepare for "Dark Winter". Did it ever cross your mind maybe they are referring to ACTUAL Winter and not the virus??? Or Both??? I've been thinking about this a lot lately and when I analyze what I've been seeing in the climate models, esp the robust trends in the CFSv2 of a brutal looking January...you have to wonder if these scientists or gov't officials have known that this Winter could be an epic one for the CONUS. Something to ponder about as we move along... Meantime, I think this is what @OKwx2k4was talking about that winter's fury is about to begin late month into Jan... Jan 18th '21...Ice Box nation... So add long range weather forecasting to Dr. Fauci's resume? Only on a winter weather forum would you see that claim. I can guarantee you they're talking about the 250k new cases per day and 3k+ daily deaths as the "dark" they were referencing, not whether Texas has snow in January.

Clinton Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 More than a little early for these types of maps but with Christmas less than 2 weeks away and high confidence in both a pre and post Christmas storms here is the GEFS mean for the system due in prior to Christmas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pleasant surprise. Most models are in the 2-5” range, but there is a distinct cutoff as you move East even just a few counties. I would be concerned about changes to the forecast, but this is coming Monday night into Tuesday, so not too much time for this to disappear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Man any chances at sustained cold look fleeting through the end of the year to say the least. Not to say it cant/won't snow again, but building up any appreciable depth will be difficult. Which I guess is to be expected in a nina winter anyways. 1 1 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 How sweet is this: NOAA: NYC area Given the supply of low level cold air and unlikelihood of warmer air intruding aloft, this event looks to be all snow for just about the entire region, except maybe the south shore of eastern Long Island for a time. Too early to get into the mesoscale details here, but confidence in significant snowfall amounts continues to increase, with potential for over a foot of snow in areas that experience the best mesoscale lift and snow growth NW of the low track. NE winds should also be quite strong along the coast due to the pressure gradient between the strong high to the north and the developing low, as high as 25-35 mph with gusts up to to 45 mph, causing considerable blowing and drifting of snow and at least near blizzard conditions. Wednesday Night Heavy Snow and Windy Low: 27 °F Thursday Windy. Heavy Snow then Chance Snow Showers High: 30 °F Would not be surprised if Blizzard Warnings go out. 6 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!
