Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

Well the way things are looking, it's Time to Punt winter Away for the next 6 weeks. Yep the looks of a pattern change Sucks. But wait there's a legitimate chance of a CAD Storm toward the end of the month. I know several on here been saying there's a good chance For CAD and an Ice Storm across CAD regions of NC and SC including me. but some wouldn't have and disagreed now they are backtracking themselves because of the way things are looking.

That's basically punting until next year for me. My winter cancel for Atlanta is spot on!

Yay cmc ice at 32 degrees. Very exciting View attachment 130580

Self limiting. 32 degree Ice is just rain. I can remember in 6th grade sitting inside my Mom’s red Ford Expedition and it was pouring rain with the windshield wipers on full blast and the car’s temperature gauge said 32 degrees on the screen. As a dumb kid I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why it wasn’t snowing.
 
I have a little snow and ice in the details on the 28th and 29th on the TWC. I know...but I love seeing it anyway.
 
Interesting how the 06z GFS trended with the day 7 system... if we can get that trough to pinch off in the right spot we could be in business, and even have a decent CAD feed to keep boundary layer temps in check. Not really any ensemble support though, but maybe it's a trend.

It jumped from pinching off over Utah to bottoming out in Illinios in one model cycle, so who knows.
 
Lol I wondered why all of a sudden we weren't seeing any EPS images past 240. Everyone has been stopping at D10 and I was wondering if maybe it didn't run past that point last night. Oh but it did. And now we know why we haven't seen it.

Fortunately, it is still not the end of the world and will probably change anyway.
 
Our best window to score is 240-300hrs out right now. As you'd expect we will (probably) have to at minimum cycle through some sort of warm up after that to reload. As long as the arctic blocking keeps showing up we might avoid a sustained torch though, imo.
 
My biggest concern at the moment is the lack of waves during our best window... definitely has that cold/dry suppression look where we always think a storm will eventually show up in the medium range but it hardly ever does. Still too early to tell much of anything though.

Meh, I'm kinda over it at this point. If we get wintry precip great, if we don't, oh well.... the older I get the less I like cold anyway. I'd just like to see things dry out a bit

That's me I played golf other day here, it was 55° wind was blowing about 10 and I like to froze. I'm only 49 but had open heart surgery at 41 so that made a difference in way the cold gets to me. I can take 90 better now than I can freezing cold. But with that said I still like to see one decent snow then I'm ready for it to warm up.

60 hr window and then it needs to reload? Man we've reached an all time low

I'm definitely meh on this month. Just not going to depend on a long range 50/50 modeled out in time for hope, and certainly not hoping in a SSWE unicorn.

Wait to see what late February holds i guess. Hopefully we can get the pacific back, it seems to always come down to that.
 
Am I the only one that doesn’t like the pacific look on the ensembles when the TPV is over us.. we’re relying on a little cutoff in the pacific to position a ridge just right, that can go wrong so easily

It's aways going to be something. At least we're in the ballpark lol

Hey we might get a 60 hr window! Then we reload it for another 60 hr window 2 weeks later! I used to complain about only getting 7-10 day windows. Would love to see one of those right now.

I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about today's 12Z runs. It's time for a couple of models to spit out something to get weenies to perk up.

I'm expecting plenty of Apps runners and inland cutters.
