Re: My Forum Absence

I know that this has nothing to do with weather, but I just didn't know where else to post this. I know some of you have been wondering where I've been lately and we took my Dad to the ER Sunday morning. I don't wish to disclose the details as to what happened at this time (as I'm still in shock) b...

Re: January 2024 Weather Discussion

Great read from Dr. Butler about the PV http://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/polar-vortex/polar-vortex-acting Hopefully this will be good news for February. Hopefully, what we saw in the last half of December with the signals coming for a cold active STJ for the first half of January, we'll s...

Re: January 18-19th Accumulating Snow Threat

I'll be nowcasting for sure, with the radar and the short term models come this evening to see if an overachiever is actually in the works. Looks to be a tired day at work tomorrow! ;) lol At least it's Friday tomorrow! :) If the trends today are correct.... it maybe a tough drive into the office f...

Re: January 2024 Weather Discussion

Seems like our chances of a couple to a few inches are much better for this time around compared to the the swing and the miss we just had. 😊

Les, I think we're just going to have to wait till after the warm-up and reload later in January to see how the active STJ works with the Arctic air masses? Hopefully, it won't be suppression city again the next go around! I agree Joe. My current thoughts are that we will warm up and probably get s...

0.19" of QPF at CVG from the 12Z Euro for Thurs and Fri. I guess we could call it snow TV lol Two separate areas of snow, both are weak. It just seems like Deja Vu with this system, but since we have nothing else to keep an eye on, may as well continue to post on this system. Les, I think we'r...

Well, considering that the 00z & 06z GFS had just the northern piece coming through next Thursday and the southern piece moving along the Gulf coast, the 12z GFS as bumped the southern energy much more NW for Friday/Saturday! I'm sorry, this is all I have to chime in with! LOL That is the syste...

Trevor, lets just lock in the 06z GFS and call it a day! :) Funny how it seems that the 06 GFS has been the juicer run all this week! :roll:

Re: Southern OV Snowstorm? Jan 15-16

12Z GFS has 0.05" for wave 1 on MLK and an additional 0.14" for wave 2 on Tues. Les, at this point I'd be happy with a 2–3 inch snow fall that the GFS is showing for us with the high ratios. That would be the most snow I've seen since that surprise 5 inch from late last January wet snow! ...

Re: January 2024 Weather Discussion

Folks... we should see highs in the teens and 20s next week with lows in the single digits. If we can get a snowpack down with the MLK (or before) system... then we will 100% be going below zero at night. Next week will be bitterly cold so make sure you have things in working order the best that yo...

Re: January 2024 Weather Discussion

The 12z GFS is definitely no help for snow around AV land. Snow to the north, south, east, and west. We need to catch a break. The models haven't had any dramatic shifts whatsoever in this new pattern. :x :roll: :lol: :lol: I hear ya! I'm dreading the bitter cold dry air next week if what the 12z G...

Re: Southern OV Snowstorm? Jan 15-16

GFS and Euro have been fairly consistent recently on showing a snowstorm potential for us southern Ohio Valley folks on Monday, Jan 15. Definitely do not see warm air being a concern with this system. Question is, will this system turn out weaker than what is showing or will dry artic air keep mois...

Re: 1st Winter Storm Threat of the Season: January 5-7, 2024

I was fortunate enough to see big flakes coming down around 6am at a good clip but then it was all rain at 7 when I started working! Had a good dusting on the grass and some sidewalks and side of the street. Feeling optimistic after mid month is all I can say! :)
