Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Now would be a great time to start moving everything back west..not a sustainable trend here

Front range of Colorado has the best climates on earth hands down. Check out Rye, Colorado. Weather Nirvana. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye,_Colorado

Yeah. It’s a good region for fast changing weather and a lot of snow for it not really being that cold, on average.

This little wave break seems to be critical and driven by those higher heights moving out of the Arctic. If we can slow it down and keep it off shore we’d be able to keep our western ridge a hair longer and allow that northern stream energy to dig and meet up with the southern stream. It’s a long shot but..

Huh - FFC just added sleet wording to my grid for tonight. Didn’t expect that.

euro looking 06z EPS ish so far

 

[SnowQueen]

Wow... I was wrong in earlier post. Apparently it reached -4° in Salisbury, NC during the December 1983 artic blast... jeez

 

[olhausen]

look at this temperature gradient tomorrow night at 7pm in the Nashville area! It’s 46 in White House and 16 in Clarksville at the same time.

That annoying wave out ahead..

Euro caving to the gfs on snow totals here. That’s happed a lot the last 2 winters for this area. Euro has showed lower totals only to be wrong and the higher totals of the gfs became reality. Not sure why but it’s been great and looks like it might happen again with this storm.

GFS

Euro 12z

Out of all models the euro looks the best so far, maybe icon is better ?

That shortwave causes subsidence behind it, hence the ---- sfc response, and the tilt wasn’t great. lol imagine we lose because a little piece of energy out ahead of our system

 

[Myfrotho704_]

It’s sucks because we have the pieces there, northern stream energy around the lakes, SE can vortex for initial cold, then our pacific wave. We have the necessary pieces, we just have to time and tilt right, without no traffic cones or blockades

What is the UKMET showing that’s different than the Euro?

 

[WEATHERBOYROY]

WOW! Just a sample of the kind of front that is heading our way for this time period...In Kimbal, a small town in southern Nebraska the north part of the town was 19 degrees while on the south side it was 42 degrees at 12:30 pm. potter Nebraska fell from 40 degrees to 7 degrees in 40 minutes!

This is one mesoscale model at long range but this is interesting.

Cleaner look across the SE which no energy ahead, just the Pac wave. I’d say let’s get over our big cold blast driven storm first then we start worrying if we get dry solutions still

Agreed and I know all models score at times but, and again not trying to sound like that guy, the ukie was the first to show our current system cutting way inland. It handles upper energy and pattern recognition fairly well

Well I have seen a snow plow for the first time this winter

Concerned more about icing though for sure

 

[SimeonNC]

This is insane
