Mossy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 now there is a vision that will require lots of alcohol to get rid of,,,,, The forty creek therapy! Works great! On the positive side of things, we woke up to about 6" of heavy wet snow. Enough for a little ride with the kids around town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough for a little ride with the kids around town! I'm worried Mossy...you're into this 40 creek therapy for everything...stop reading Viperrules posts and you'll feel better soon! You have that new sled to look forward to! However..I have been known to fall into the "creek" once in awhile too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezerBurnt Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Cripes they can't predict a couple of days ahead & they love to trot out these models. Next week TWN shows 3 days of slightly + temps w/ below freezing lows overnight, w/ a day of snow. How many hours of the day is the temperature actually above freezing? Sometimes I really wonder why some of these Debbie Downers become "weather readers". They sure don't enjoy winter & don't realize that lots of folks do. check out these 2 long range forecast they are from Brett and only 2 days apart, yet are dramatically different LOL Jan 2nd---http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/long-range-forecast-model-update-trends-warmer/3507298 Jan 4th---http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/long-range-model-finally-catching-on-to-pattern-changes-1/3583265 Boy I knew I should have been a meteorologist!!

Fred Quimby Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I follow Brett Anderson too..and this year he flip flops all over the place..really hard to follow! The weather Nitwits are bad enough one day predicting 10-15 cm's then changing it within a few hours to nothing??? How does that work? It's really frustrating to figure out. Seems there is an opportunity for some decent snow events upcoming .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreezerBurnt Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 we got 10-15cm for friday coming I hope we get 10cm but figure they will change it soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just checked the weather for Belleville and it is above zero for the next 6 days, with three days plus 7c. Yikes, so much for going there next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just checked the euro model at 168 hrs. 850mb temperatures are at -12. That's Wednesday...You need at least a 13C differential in lake surface tempreature and 850mb temperature for "significant" lake effect snow. Right now, Lake Huron temperatures are nearly 7C! What is better is that the same model has their 850mb winds pushing right towards cottage country starting at this 168 hour range. Then, they will shift to coming from a NW direction. Pretty hard to forecast wind direction a week out, but with frigid 850mb temperatures incoming (-25C) at 216 hours for cottage country, things are looking up again. Brett Anderson also reported today that the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation), that is known for "blocking" cold air in the eastern part of the continent looks to be staying negative (good) for the rest of the winter. In others news, I looked up several other depressing winters from the early 1900's and found several that were far worse... Life aint' all that bad!

XtremeLegend500 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Love your optimism! But somehow highly doubt it, can't predict that far in advance, but really hope your right!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yup, I agree. But, the euro model is typically the more accurate of the two... It's funny, I talked to a guy at work who told me he sold his two sleds last year. He says it was a liberating experience. He is no longer glued to the weather websites, and constantly re planning vacations due to the weather. I don't think I'll ever quit, but I can understand what he means!

Viperules700 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Have to work for a flexible company otherwise it is a loosing battle. Nothing worse then taking a week off and then having to drink beer and wax sled all week. Been there done that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
