Misc General Banter Thread

I know a lot of folks don’t like Brad P but he has a good break down of the storm potential he just put out. Looks like he is back from vacation and it’s not AI, lol. I’ve always respected him and think he does an excellent job. He knows the climate pretty well around here.

I got a question. If the temperature is in the 20's when a winter event start, what makes up have freezing rain, sleet instead of snow? Might be a crazy question but want to know.

The upper levels. If there's any warm air aloft it's ice instead. Doesn't matter what the surface is

Has to be cold throughout for snow to survive

This is a pretty cool graphic from the NWS about it

Freezing rain is literally just rain that hits something freezing... It's the worst kind of precip to exist. Even sleet is better

Pretty sure that was not record breaking snow. They had 16.5 inches of snow back in Feb 1973. 5.5 inches of snow on Feb 10 1973. There have been bigger daily accumulation amounts higher then 5.5 inches.

I think they mean daily record as in that day on the calendar..

I'm pretty sure they mean broke the Daily Record for January 18.
 


Look idk who these losers are or how they keep ending up on my TL. Between him and All the other Northern guys just wishcasting this thing North so that it ends up in their city’s is hilarious to me. Like people actually believe this character has a degree from Penn State ?

I’m sorry …. There seems to be so may weeniers that became X famous from DC - Maine. They post degrees in their Bio so people follow, idk I mean this with the upmost disrespect too….. if you’re a met in the NE especially like Boston / NE / CT ect dude your job is so easy like that’s a rookie gig the should send the students to full time. Every storm it’s so easy “ohhh man here’s cold air, yep there comes QPF here ya go a snowfall map”. Like I said Rookie stuff, anyone could do it. But down here the actually have to EARN clout and respect bc the geography, the setup, the timing, their mothers maiden name EVERYTHING has to be perfect not just “welp yep it’s always cold here comes the Liquid”. So yea anyone up there annoys the fool outta me bc I feel like I could’ve done their job as a 14yr old hobbyist. Same with Bastardi, and Rayno …. Both are losers and have been for 2 decades that I’ve been following weather since I was 14, I’ve never seen either of the be correct anymore than that Dude in Richmond DT that gets picked on yearly lol . These cats are so mindlessy stupid they’re manipulating people into thinking a Low is gonna plow right through a once in a season HP ….. for clicks lol. And no other region Wishcast more than MA-NE. Again this is meant with total disrespect and I’ve posted it in their forum before just to stir the pot and then leave and watch the get all upset. So yea I mean it lol

This is the kind of pattern I used to dream about for southern slider type events, though this obviously looks a bit on the amped side of things. A giant polar vortex over Ontario & Quebec to supply brutally cold air into the CONUS & a SW US upper low to feed warm/moist air aloft to overrun this arctic air is usually how you get it done for the I-20 & I-40 crews

This may be better for the banter thread... these looks are giving me Feb 2014 vibes for those of us in the i20 corridor from Augusta to Columbia. This is likely to be an all rain or freezing rain event for us here. I'm leaning towards all rain at the moment... but definitely wondering if preparing anyway would be worth it. 2014 was not fun without power for 10 days.
 
Banter cause it’s the Canadian but here’s the end of the run
