Presidents Day - Fat Tuesday Potential Significant Winter Storm

[jimmyzlc]

What are the latest model runs showing?

[Tony]

I just saw this excerpt from a blog post from an Accuweather Met. He is usually pretty good so I thought I would share this with you. Probably not going to happen but just in case:

 

"My worry is that the mean trough axis may be too far west to allow this system to be squashed to the extent the models said on the 0z runs. And as we saw with a storm over a week ago, don't be shocked if the model trend goes right back the other way as it begins to see things more clearly. And areas that right now seem high and dry may not be so dry in the end."

There's No storm It Not happening no chance zero zilch.

Throwing in the towel

[Niko]

Finito!

Lets go to Boston. Blizzard warning there with damaging winds expected and 10 to 15inches. More snow there by Tuesday as another Low gets them.

NYC WWA with blizzard conditions possible there also and 4-7inches expected there.

 

Well, Detroit had its share last year with record breaking snowfall. I guess this year its Boston. Cant win them all.

It's going to be a close call KC...

We might squeeze out an inch or two. Would surpass our biggest snow of the season if we got anymore than that.

I woke up this morning to a heavy snow band over my area. Picked up 3.2 inches of snow. Not bad from an arctic front. Brutally cold with snowsqualls and blowing snow all day. Heading down to -11F and -17F tomorrow night. Biting cold indeed with wcf being in the -20s and -30s territory.  Been snowing on and off since last night. Have to say white out conditions were experienced here for a time with blowing and falling snow.

NAM came way north. St Louis now in the bullseye. Looking like Nam may have phased this storm cutting it farter north. PV not as strong as prior runs.

[winterfreak]

Yeah getting really interesting around here. We'll see what happens.

[Tom]

00z GFS...looking like the southern Plains/Midwest finally will get their first significant snowstorm of this season...nature has to share the wealth sometime during the season.

[winterfreak]

Six to eight imby not bad. EURO should be interesting.

[Tom]

This is exactly why we don't "Throw in the Towel" 3 days out...even though most of this sub forum isn't getting the bulk of this storm, it's still a significant event for those down south, especially down near the Ozarks/S IL (where I attended SIUC Carbondale).  Smokey Mountains get crushed.

[NEJeremy]

I think when we were all throwing in the towel though, we meant for those of us in the forum getting anything significant. I'm pretty sure I speak for most of us when I say I don't really care what the Ozarks and Smokey Mountains are going to get from a storm that at one point looked like it would be big for most of us here. Next!!

[winterfreak]

Well I'm still in the game so speak for yourself. Next week looks a lot more interesting for most on the subforum.

00z Euro...

Ukie ftw

[Money]

Ukie have been rock solid this yr

Another job north on the 6z NAM.

[Money]

STL had 0 inches on 12z NAM and have 14-16 within 36 hours of the event. Models have been terrible this year

[Seahawkfan]

We just need that to go another 100-150 miles further north then were be in business.

[NEJeremy]

You apparently didn't read my post correctly. You had also thrown in the towel on this storm numerous times. Go back and read your own posts. I don't remember you ever saying how excited you were for snow in the Smokies and the Ozarks. I didn't realize KC was near those areas so you weren't "in the game" until the last couple of model runs again

 

Well I'm still in the game so speak for yourself. Next week looks a lot more interesting for most on the subforum.

Geographically speaking KC is not very far from the Lake. Anyway, I completely understand you're previous post. Yes duhh I wrote this storm off because for four consecutive days it showed nothing. Now it's throwing everyone in our area for a loop, meteorologists included. That in turn means there's now reason for optimism. So maybe I wrote this storm off and was doom and gloom but with the way this winter has gone for most of us it should be understandable. Sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way because that wasn't my intention.

[NEJeremy]

Sorry if I misinterpreted your post too. Expecting nothing has been the way to go this year! I keep thinking man it would be nice to be following something for tomorrow like what the models were showing when this thread started. I had even told my wife there's a chance for another snow day on Tuesday

Just getting up to speed on this storm... Wow, the Ohio Valley and Ozarks are really going to get clocked with this one!

My relatives in Clarksville, TN are expecting 6-10". That's a really big deal for them!

[winterfreak]

Heavy snow here. Am I the only one being affected by this thing?
