I think we would need a deeper snow pack in order to get those crazy low temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinomial Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Tom, I'm a little confused. The models seem to be advertising the coldest air of the season Sunday into Monday, but yet my Grid reads a high of 11 Sunday with a low of -9, and then a high of 10 on Monday. Are Winds going to be intense with this arctic blast? I thought the models were showing not getting above 0? Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks!

However, it seems it will be a midnight high temp early on Sunday with temps heading south throughout the day. Sunday night looks to be the coldest period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 For eye candy.... Probably safe to say the Colorado Rockies will have good skiing and snowboarding for several weeks yet! -14° for a low yesterday and -13° today with 0.7" of snow. If it wasn't for added daylight, it would seem like early to mid January still.

Tom Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Euro has been the most consistent with cutting the end of month system west of the East Coast. The models will have a better handle on the -PNA next week. Watch the trend west on the GFS. I just don't see Boston/NYC getting hit. The upcoming pattern as we move forward doesn't support East Coast systems. Meantime, both GFS/EURO just TANK the EPO down to the lowest levels I have seen thus far this season. Also, what is interesting is that the Euro/GGEM Ensembles are showing the NAO heading towards neutral territory during the first week of March creating more blocking.

winterfreak Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Man models are clobbering areas to the south and to the east. Just need one to track further north and cut further west.

Maxim Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Tom, What did the Euro say temp wise? Just wondering if we'll break any records Sunday night into Monday?Not a chance. The record low for the 23rd is -18, and the record low max is -2. Those records will likely never be broken in my opinion. (Or at least not for a very long time.)

Tom Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 12z Euro Ensembles looking amazing from the Plains/Lakes over the next 2 weeks. Good luck trying to run a snow storm into the kinda warmth the 12z Euro Ensembles are seeing along the East Coast. The -PNA is going to be our "friend" finally for the central CONUS. This will probably be one of the best setups for storms in our region this Winter season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yesterday GFS showed parts of Nebraska with 2 feet, today nothing. Hope they come back, but this winter that doesn't seem to be in the cards. Local mets said yesterday the numbers were inflated and most of that snow never gets out of the upslope region of western Nebraska. I hate to admit it, they are probably right. Seems like Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma get the storms we used to get up here, beyond frustrated. Goodland Kansas going to get hammered and we sit here with more gray skies, cold winds, and brown grass. Let's just get to Spring if this is the pattern we are set in. I know we don't get the snow of Chicago or Boston, but we used to get at least 1 big storm every winter, still waiting, this is a 2 year wait. My optimism continues to get crushed this winter, why do I talk myself into these fantasy storms that never materialize. I am with you winterfreak. Thanks for letting me vent, now I will spend time with the family. Can't control mother nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
