Christmas night - 26th








It's gonna be a cold bitch for days after the storm, if this hold up. Amazingly this far out all the major models agree on a monster snow storm over Arkansas and Oklahoma next Tuesday-Wednesday painting anywhere from 1-2 feet across the area.

I hope so.

I remember skimming the farmers almanac and it had 1 superstorm all winter and the rest of winter had nothing.

So this would line up.

I drive a sports car and can go nowhere in 2 inches of snow, and have an uphill driveway making it further impossible to even pull out of my driveway.

I do love snow though, me and my pup play in our annual "snow bowl" if we get enough snow. That sumbitch can tackle.

shite. Bring it on. Will have to clean out the generator's carb this weekend. Got the Bronco ready to roll, will need to get some more long johns and plenty of fuel and oil for the chainsaws.

May need to find somewhere that carries chains for 35" mud tires. I've slacked on getting new tires, keep telling myself they'll last a little longer, but good tires with deep tread is a must for getting around in bad winter weather.

Bronco!!!! I've got a '79, you can get em for a lot less than jeeps and they're not chick cars. Parts are plentiful and they're easy to work on.

You give up some of the luxuries of modern cars with the older models but for a trail rig, lake cruiser, back roader, and hiking/kayak hauler I couldn't want anything any more fun. The top on the Bronco is a lot easier to get off than the steel top on the '74 Scout I had before it. Classics are never uncool.

Our weather guy here said these are based off the US weather models which have been extremely unreliable this year. These same models predicted Hurricane Sandy to hit Florida and go into the Gulf of Mexico...




I guess we'll see...

It's just one model, plus Arkansas snow is incredibly hard to predict. When one model says we could get a foot, we may get a dusting to an inch.

But hey if we get a foot I'm cool with that, I love the snow and I can walk to work.

That's actually two models in the OP.

1st pic is the GFS, the other two is the EURO model.

It looks like I'll be able to get home for Christmas, but might be stuck for days if this thing hits.

This is from Garrett Lewis - Chief Meteorologist KFSM/KXNW











quote:

Yes, for those who have asked me "Why The Weather Channel is showing snow on Christmas Evening?" Here's the reason why: 1) The forecast is based on the GFS model and is likely computer generated. The GFS Model has performed terribly this season and also this hurricane season missing the forecast track by around 300-500 miles a week out. 2) The Weather Channel is based in Atlanta. 3) The preferred model is the ECMWF or the "Euro" model which has been superior as of late handling the large scale "synoptic patterns" will generate the Christmas forecast in about 48-72 hours. If there's consensus on the models... there's certainly a chance that it could happen but 'wishcasting' based on the GFS.. is a recipe for a forecasting disaster. This image is the GFS depiction of Christmas night.

Here's another model. This one is showing primarily freezing rain on Christmas day.
