Winter 2012-13 Thread (Seattle, Utah, snowfalls, warm)

[Cambium]

Current temps and radar. Classic Cold Air Damming situation coming up. High Pressure up north giving below zero temps north of the U.S border will filter down cold air and that cold air will get stuck at the surface for many locations. If there wasnt warm air from the south pushing north, it would be snow... but because this warm air is coming up and because cold air doesnt rise, Ice situations occur.

This is something I've been mentioning since November worried about ice storms because this seems to be the setup lately. While this weekend wont have a lot of moisture, I dont expect an "ice storm" but there will be areas with ice and all it takes is a little to create a mess out there!

Euro onto it too. Not only will it be Very Cold/Fridgid on Christmas Eve and Day but there will be snowcover for some in the east.(north of NYC)

Who remembers this one? Arctic air dives south, low from the gulf meets it. Ice storm in the south, Low merges with a MidWest storm, big snowstorm up the East coast.

Huh. Looking at the right map? The forecast looks below average above I-90. I'm a bit worried now, it's the first downturn I've seen. Hopefully short.

You know good and well that is not the original map I linked to. Mine went only through the 27th.

Where? Other than wolf's pass? There has been only sporatic snow in CO this winter. Most places are WAY below normal.

OK, I just noticed that the link goes to the latest long range, so that thing will be changing a lot. Next time I'll just upload the static image.
