  1. Hey guys,

    quick question and i didnt think it was appropiate for any other threads so made a new one...

    Why is it that bands of rain/snow can carry on for hundreds of miles on land in the USA, whilst keeping or gaining intensity like the current snowstorm, then fronts very often die out quickly when they hit land over here?

    Cheers

    Hi Staffordshire

    i think it's because they have a greater landmass to aid convection from and no hills and mountains to break up/weeken the systems where as we have the spine of the country with such that break up or weaken them plus we are a tiny island with not much land mass

    i think that's about right but some eperienced folk could do a better job at explaining,good question though.

  2. Hi phill

    theres one thing that i have noticed over the last few days of model watching is that the lows have tended to track more of a SE shift than was progged to go barraging through the BI,the block to the east,and some hights to the north have done enough as far as i can see,and i feel there will be more of this to come,the point that OMM was stating earlier regarding that second trough out of the e'n seaboard,that's what we should be looking at as to amplify a ridge into greenland,that would open the door to the siberian flood gates

    sorry for confusing mods,but i was refering i.e to the low following that one @ a later timeframe at t+132 onwards,and looks a bit better on the 18z

  3. Yes it`s more runs needed JP.

    As ever a little adjustment of the whole pattern west would help -along with the undercutting of course.

  4. ok,here is my take on the 18z gfs @+156 at face value,please feel free to correct me as i am still learning

    i have circled areas of interest,we have more amplification off the eastern seaboard generating more of a ridge in the atlantic,more hights over greenland forcing the trough futher south,a more southerly flow from the east from the siberian high,and i suspect that that low will dip SE as arrowed,all speculation at this moment of cause,lets see

    EDIT,scrap this that i just posted,i have just run forward the frames,but it could be a good idea.

    P.s fi till we get past this weekend.

  5. One day all these winters with a southerly tracking jet will come to an end and we will revert, but while it lasts, i can say that i was there and i experienced it.

    true mate,we are in a lucky period that our ansestors would of witnessed many years ago and to tell us what it was like then,we NOW look like we are in a simular cluster of winters that could reflect that era,i am so happy right now,and to witness 2010/11,all be it a short snowmageddon,it was fab,this winter looks awsome at the moment

  6. I will be there, i will keep hoping and chasing until one day when i will either see an 87 /91 event deliver for me again or i pass.

    or even 81/82

    i do remember it well,there was snow drifts up to my bedroom window when i was a young teen,i could just jump out of my window into it but my dad said what r u doing,lol!

  7. I have just come out of summer hibernation recently looking at the latest models,cpc's,ensembles etc and one of them that caught my eye is this,not sure if this is the latest that has been posted in the strat thread,but it does look good

    does this have the effect on what is happening next week?,i saw a post about this somewhere though that it has a knock on effect a few weeks down the line,is this true.
