What Have We Come To?

weather1 — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:06:16 +0000

I’m looking at these forecast models all day and scrutinizing whether we get 1 or 2 inches. I have never done that before as I would normally call this week dry with a quick mention of dusting possible. This is what the Winter has come to so far though. Back in January the forecast was...

Sunday Morning Storm Update…

weather1 — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:01:09 +0000

Update 5 PM: Forecast models pulled back a little on the total moisture forecast this afternoon. From the beginning this storm was never forecasted to have much moisture.

System track for next Wednesday trending down the West coast off shore, so it may be a complete miss. Models in disagreement for next weekend and week 2. The European model continues to put the ridge out near 155w...

Hyping a 6 inch snowfall?

weather1 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:30:02 +0000

Lots of hype starting to build over the snow coming for Saturday and Monday. In a normal season we may not even pay much attention to a 6 inch forecast 4-5 days away. But we are snow starved. I don’t want to over analyze this storm too much but over the next several days the...
