2014-15 Winter Thread (Northern Hemisphere) (professional, snow, warm, temperatures)

[GraniteStater]

18Z GFS = big storm for Northeast 7-8 days out. Track keeps shifting, northern areas look to have a higher snow potential out of this. PHASING is the huge wildcard here, lots of cold just upstream. Stay tuned...

Who will end up too far and who will be right under it? I wish everyone can get involved with one storm one day.

I knew all along Andrew was another cold lover. He tries to act as impartial, but he has a cold bias like all the rest of the winter lovers.

Exactly what Tom said. Pacific mild zonal flow in the winter = cloudy gray crap here.

Well now we know exactly how winters in the UK feel. Cloudy.

Awesome. Just was watching TWC, they showed a clip that American Airlines flight hit sever turbulence heading there. Anything that wasn't tied down got sent flying. Many got injured. They had to divert but after 30-40 minutes of turbulence at 30,000 feet!

Then TWC was explaining why. Big storm, Strong Jet stream and a Jet Streak in the area of strong winds. Very hard to know but they were trying to fly around the winter storm there and got into this pocket of extremely strong winds. (235mph!!)

He is a cold lover in the winter, but what do his posts look like during the summer months? Maybe he is just an extreme weather lover like I am?


It is going to get cold though




Could be long lasting and significant cold...




Maybe a Christmas blizzard over the northern Great lakes

Pick your favorite four season climate

Actually it was a cyclone with a 952hPa core right over Hokkaido, which has been hit by blizzards, heavy winds (up to >100 km/h gusts) and storm surges that have flooded parts of the coast. Honshu in turn has been affected by very heavy snow but that's less unusual.

Another Upper Low in New England & slow moving storm right now..

LP over Nova Scotia this morning transferred to the coastal low yesterday from Montreal. So hasn't moved much considering its been 24hrs. The storm started on the 15th from the southwest.

Another 4 inches of snow in Caribou yesterday puts them at 46.7 inches for the season. Normal is 24" to date.
