Re: Wx Banter Thread 1.0
Meteorology question:
I've noticed comments related to this regarding the upcoming storm this weekend; people continually reference back to previous storms and say "the last few trended north, so expect the same to happen with this one". This will be said, even though there is nothing on any of the models to support it.
Isn't this mindset similar to flipping a coin, and thinking that because it landed on heads last time, that heads is now a trend? Why is what happened in a previous storm related to a current one when all of the conditions and setups are different? Doesn't seem intuitively right to me...

Great question. To answer it you have to zoom out and look at the overall pattern over the last few weeks at the levels of the atmosphere that contains the energy that creates and guids our storms...that is the 500mb pattern, or approz 18,000-20000 feet above sea level. The pattern to our north east, the NAO region, has been in the past one without blocking that leads to a faster more progressive flow off our coastline, and one in the west that has had nice ridging but because there is wave after wave of energy coming onto the western shores of Canada and the CONUS that our ridge gets flattened out right as our northern stream energy is trying to dig along the east coast. The result of this has been key to the northern trend IMO. The result of aflattened ridge is less of a south push to the trough which equals more northern track. This is the problem on the west side of the trough. The east side of the trough you have the lack of blocking.
So the reason why thre is so much referencing to prev storms is not the because of the storms themselves, but rather the upper air patterns are still the same or similar leading to one to believe that the outcome will be the same or similar. It doesn't mean however, that the outcome will infact be the same or similar as this set up is very different in many ways as much as there are similarities in a broader sense.

It's all about factors (conditions) leading to a tilted outcome
Coin toss has 3 predictable outcomes:
1. Heads
2. Tails
3. Edge

That's a funny map and nice fantasy. Pretty much our whole area shares in a a nice uniform 14-24 inches of snow. No one is cheated out and everyone shares equally? I think we tried this in many different countries and it didn't work out so well. I doubt it does on this map either, but it is fun to pretend.

I love Cantore. Don't forget he's a NY guy born on Rome, NY. He just loves snow and if you do, this winter no place better than Boston. We're all just jealous myself included!!

Re: Wx Banter Thread 1.0
I want to stay off the forum here for awhile so as not to get too excited about today's positive trends regarding both upcoming storm threats.....but I can't!! I have another hand surgery coming up and will be stuck in the house in front of the fire taking Vicadin and the occasional beer, and I would like nothing more than cold and snow flying to look out at while I recoup!!
....most likely not taking both at once, but it depends on the track of the storm!!

I have an industrial sized snow blower and a 12 year old son that's trained on how to use one. (while I watch of course)
Where are Quietace and some of my other Jersey weather freaks on this storm??

I follow along at school and work on mobile, but between that, sleeping, and homework i don't have a lot of time to sit down and write analysis, but rather make small comments.

I feel the same way and I've had over 4 feet of snow already this season. Enough is enough regarding the Red Sox Suck.

Jim, here's wishing you a healthy hand, a raging fire, lots of snow, and just the right mix of Vicadin and beer*.

If anyone here reads The Economist, there is an article in this weeks edition about the EURO vs the GFS models, and the revamped GFS that just went into action a few weeks ago.

Same setup coming up, if you live west of the city dont get psyched into the hype for more than a few inches, we know whats gonna happen, we'll get 3"-5, LI will get a foot and Boston will get 2' along with interior new england. Dont get NEMOd again if u live west of NYC.

Believe me, that's always in my mind knowing the trends of the last five years of everything being S and E of me (Mahwah NJ).Hate these sharp cutoff storms, give me a statewide big bomb like Jan 1996.
