Something to do with a cylinder. That was after the tyranny fell out and had to be repaired. That car was a disaster

Damn wtf lol. Not much has changed either lol these mustangs nowadays still have lots of issues. I almost got a ecoboost Mustang instead of the veloster.

I've been seeing on here since yesterday that all the pieces are moving in our favor and were getting great trends for a possible 27/28 storm. Then when I look at the surface, the moisture looks to be moving further offsure and or drying up on the Ensembles.

What gives.

Excellent question!

You see, what had happened was, there's a lot of energy flying around. And we need to know what happens with the first storm before the models can get a handle on the second storm.

Now that all that's out of the way, you got the pieces on the board, but they have been a long, long way away from producing a storm close to the area. Now we are just a long way away. Plus, I wouldn't focus too much on the 7 day model precip placement. Just need to see steps forward upstairs. We didn't make a ton of progress in that regard today.

The 80s mustangs were so cheap. I still wouldn't buy one. I would get a Civic SI tho....or one of those Type Rs.

Those type Rs are sexy man, these new inline 4s with a turbo make some impressive power… over 300 horsepower on a 4 cylinder stock is pretty insane. Car has the power of a Subaru WRX but way more reliability, and looks a little better

I had a 2002 WRX. I think that was the first year of those? Then I had a kid and sold it and got a CRV lol. It was a super fun car to drive...but it did have a noticeable turbo lag, though.

WRXs are very fun, and powerful for a 4 banger, but man there motors can blow so easy, but people dont allow break in times with subies, especially new, of after bolt ons/tuning, so the motor just blows. Was the turbo spool on your wrx audible ?

Yeah it was. Also, I drove it easy for the first whatever thousand miles. I never had any mechanical issues with it other than some clutch shutter in the last year I had it.

WRX crew represent! Yeah, even my model (a 2020) has some turbo lag. But otherwise pretty perfect for the price (and it has four doors, which is nice for practicality).

Nice! I've wondered if the BRZ would be fun to drive. Don't know anybody who has one though.

I have a new rule that the NW trend only applies when there is some snow on the models if there are two that have something for at least two model cycles. That has yet to happen, so we will see.

My theory is it only happens when it takes us out of the game, not when we actually need it. ?
 
I wanted to post one of those Brent maps! AC566791-0688-4A45-BCFA-A967D0005B27.png
 
Busts come in all shapes and sizes. I have family in Chicago, remember when they were getting 2 feet per modeling?

Glad you got the Veloster. I test drove the Ecoboost Stang and it felt too "Grand Touring" for me. It didnt feel any different than a Buick Park Ave. The Veloster feels like what a peppy sports car should feel like.

I think the Veloster, Civic Type R, Vw Golf Type R are cars that give you a great bang for the buck in performance and class.

Just a few years back you'd be spending big bucks on a Porsche to get that kind of sportiness.
 
One thing I find sort of interesting with this arctic front is rather than the usual where temps ahead of the front are often in the 60s and 70s, all across the southern plains and midsouth temps ahead of the front are in the 40s and 50s resulting in subfreezing temps in about one hour after the frontal passage.
 
So all the moisture in the S and Mid-Atlantic isn't going to amount to anything up N? Why is the Cold so intense but the precip isn't getting a charge too??? What a waste of artic air...

Right, I’m not used to us being this cool right before a strong arctic front such as this one sweeps through. Neither am I used to a CAD being in place prior either.

I can't believe I'll lose sleep tonight just to watch a cold front and possibly three snowflakes blow through town around 3 AM. Being retired does have its benefits lol.

Your posts made me want to go look at the model for longer ranges. January looks good. But February and March look awful, with the Aleutian ridge returning. Both the CFS and the CanSIPS show this. But who knows if they are right or not. I doubt it.

I already assume February is a lost cause because la nina. January looks like it's gonna be pretty decent if the super LR models are to be trusted.
 
So I'm still hoping to see a little snow tomorrow by means of lake effect snow. I'm even hoping that with the very wet and relatively warm ground we could get some land effect snow. Years back (if I recall right) we had a situation where snow showers developed from the incoming cold air and wet ground. No models are showing this possibility and I haven't heard anybody forecast it; but It's something to look for from a weather hobbyist standpoint (...ok weennie).
 
I think Atlanta's only shot is a clipper on Monday night/Tuesday morning. If it can carry enough moisture and generate enough lift, we might, at best squeeze out an 1" of accumulation. That is the best case scenario and chances of it happening are very slim.
