Why are people so negative on here all the time? It is just about February and at least the Puget Sound hasn't had much measurable snow this season. There's bound to be some negativity with a crowd of weather enthusiasts. Lighting does sometimes strike twice at the same location, but it's very rare.

Too many strikeouts, although his walk rate last year was encouraging. But he definitely slumped in the second half of the season. Hard to believe he’s only played 76 MLB games, so there’s room to develop still. But there’s a lot to be excited about, for sure. I expect a fun, if not middling season in 2021, but then a real breakout and contending team in 2022 and beyond. He was highly touted coming out of school. M's were fortunate to get him at 11. He's still on a big learning curve. I think he'll be fine. He's got all the tools. He definitely slumped a little but he lost a lot of time because of injury. Will be interesting to see how he develops. I'm more uncertain about White than Lewis. Talk about strikeouts. Sheesh. I'm not a huge Gonzales fan either. I just have trouble with guys throwing in the upper 80's I don't care how much control he has. It's my own personal problem. I did like Jamie Moyer though. It always boils down to pitching though, no matter how you cut it. There's some promise there now. I'm excited. First time since the 90's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 24 minutes ago, snow_wizard said: It shows a PV over Alberta at the 500mb level. Terrain has no influence that high up. People get too hung up on that when talking about upper level stuff. I think you don't fully understand what 500mb height maps actually show. They aren't showing the weather at that height, they merely show the altitude at which that pressure level exists. For PV lobes, their associated depressions at that 500mb plane are due to the air below it being colder than its surroundings; therefore being more dense and possessing less volume; meaning that it is a direct function of the air below it, not just the air at 500mb. The air below 500mb is most definitely affected by the surface, as terrain over the SW Canadian Rockies commonly exceeds elevations higher than 10,000ft/3,000m/700mb. Arctic fronts, being strong cold fronts, are always surface fronts. If they weren't, there would be no Fraser/Gorge outflow during those events; a sign of a dense fluid flowing beneath a less dense fluid and seeping into the depressions in the terrain. The current GFS architecture, which in my opinion handles surface fronts better than the currently in-dev GFSv16, is still too advection-happy, especially at the surface, for both WAA and CAA. This is a known bias by most mets around here. I am not saying there isn't any potential for an arctic event; in fact I'm leaning towards the contrary... but what the GFSv16 shows, with that kind of blocking pattern, is a questionable solution at best. 7 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get too hung up on that when talking about upper level stuff. I disagree. The atmosphere is a fluid. All levels impact the levels above and below them significantly. 500mb is ~18,000 feet. The idea heights at that level would be unaffected by a large 10,000 foot tall mountain range doesn't pass the smell test. There's a reason 500mb heights average significantly lower East of the Rockies and the mountains are a big part of that. Models 10-15 years ago were very bad at accounting for this effect especially in the long range but have improved a lot lately. It just seems to me the parallel GFS which is still in its infant stages as a model needs to have that dialed in more to be effective. Doesn't mean we can't get an Arctic blast in February (I'd say we have a better chance than usual) and also doesn't mean I hate the GFS because it's clearly improved a ton in the last 10-15 years but the new one clearly needs some work. 6 Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another epic parallel GFS run and the the 18z also had a very cold run on the GFS ensemble control. Besides that the EPS was much better also. The idea of a bridge between the PNA block and the NAO block is gaining more support all the time which means a displaced PV is pretty possible. I like our chances too but there's no way the GFS Parallel solution verifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
