welll now that the cold front has moved through how much of a blizzard do you all get today?

if you recall some folks Here and some forecasters were obessed with the ludicrous idea that the 2nd low that develeoped on the cold front this morning was going to pull all this cold air .... it would be further east so as to pull in cold air YET also be close enough to bring heavy snow..

so no it wasnt a breif period of heavy rain followed by heavy snow in the NE or MA at any location ...it was all rain that ended as some snow.

as far as the Xmas event goes... time to call the DOG CATCHER.....

Lets hope this is the Lull before the actuall storm. On can only wish apon a star for such a thing. Only time will tell Euro more north GFS more south maybe a meet in the middle? They both have it around the same spot in the north and south almost. So time will tell whats going on i will give it till friday to make any judgements.

The 00z Canadian latches onto the idea of a "tropical entity" getting involved in the mix and once again, develops quite a BOMB of a storm, which it's been doing a lot of in the MR ...

I just got home, and will try to see what changes the guidance are suggesting ...

If you ask me all the models are going heywire. Maybe its something to look into if 2 models split and the Canadian goes right down the middle and then up the coast. Maybe the others are starting to take a hint but not take the plunge. Only my opinion.

The only model that has an east coast storm is the Canadian right now, where in the world do you see a "split"

LMolineux · #10 Postby **LMolineux** » Wed Dec 17, 2003 7:02 pm

It like takes it right in the middle of the EURO and GFS solutions thus there is the split. Figure it out.

obessed with the ludicrous idea ?
You have one heck of an atitude my friend!!
Yo should be more into teaching those "not as perfect" as you instead of using such comments

Look folks, there is going to be a major storm system effecting much of the central and eastern US during Christmas week. That is plain and simple.

The problem is how much cold air will be available for it to work with? If the Euro is to be believed... this closed low and assoicated dynamics will create it's own cold air under the 500mb low(-13c). Where does that set up? No one knows right now.

While this storm will be primarily a rainmaker... a heavy snowfall is quite possible (and likely by Christmas eve) under the track of the 500mb low.

I don't have a lot of time right now.....and it's always more difficult w/the Euro because of the time steps, but this run looks like a big hit for the Chicago area. Any comments anybody?

Well, I really could have done without that before dinner!! :lol:

well since Invented and made famous the term Big Dog ...now used by LC JB and HPC.... the terms refers to snowstormns... so yes while there IS going to be a large 500 Low somewhere in the midwest /eastern US the cold air problem no longer makes it a Big DOG as such
