Misc 2022-23 Fall/Winter Whamby Thread

[ForsythSnow]

Never seen a run put the DGZ at literally 300 feet above the ground even if only a tick is fully saturated. Still interesting regardless.

The Mets at my NWS are not even using the GFS. Saying it’s too horrible of a model lately, in their AFD this afternoon

Does it count as a second storm if it only affects offshore oil rigs?

TBH, I'm more disappointed in this Tuesday's system more then anything. 850s just a few degrees off from a novelty inch or two.

I think the big bend of Florida sees flakes from OES before the vast majority of NC sees flakes this month.

Jimmy, this a good look?

The second storm is going to bust just like the first. And the next and the next. It’s just how it goes around here. Keep kicking that can!

When you’re bringing the quality of the whamby thread down you’ve really accomplished something. Congrats.

I love the shady of all of this!

Usually the dendritic growth zone is found way higher in the atmosphere. When it snows, that’s the region where it comes from. You’re usually talking the layer that is -10c or below in your sounding. That’s normally found way up, roughly 8k feet. In this case, it’s just off the ground comparatively. That’s how it snows so easily in places like Michigan. You don’t need a whole lot of moisture if your growth zone is close to the ground.

I can this this path for the low. For whatever reason the models want to create a second jet in IL from the SSW phase. Not doubting it. I just think there could be a scenario where the low travels East of the mountains based on the PVA jet locations. In this run, there was less interaction with the SSW which meant a further East low. Also, what's picking up the SSW currently is aircraft traveling from CONUS to HI, not soundings yet.

Thank you so much
