If we hung on everytime Dave Dahl mentioned snow since mid-October we should of seen at least six snow events already in the metro, he most definitely plays for ratings with his 'could' be's and 'potential' and 'probably' wording he uses when mentioning snow. Its obvious snow sells, just like sex sells, mention the word and it grabs peoples attention just like putting a pretty girl in front of a car in a car commercial or extra cleavage on the front of a magazine cover.jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-23263365391499365832013-11-14T21:12:11.608-06:002013-11-14T21:12:11.608-06:00DD, if you ever get the chance, take the drive alo...DD, if you ever get the chance, take the drive along I-90 from Austin to Rochester, there is a large wind farm located about half way between the two. randyinchamplinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-51119656456584010472013-11-14T12:00:21.649-06:002013-11-14T12:00:21.649-06:00Of the many flights from ATL to MSP the view of th...Of the many flights from ATL to MSP the view of the wind farms across Iowa and southern Minnesota is always impressive. To then get to drive through some of those around the Mason City area along I-35 was impressive. Wind turbine industry continues to push along requiring government investment/subsidies but really hoping it can grow in the free market and become very viable for energy and business. When storm chasing across the Plains there are several wind farms present including those along I-70 in central Kansas as they are perilously close to the interstate thus some great views of their size and magnitude. <br /><br />Great summary of Kate's talk as I know her and she is smart cookie! <br /><br />DD..DDwxhttp://www.twitter.com/DDwxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-46656924966327809902013-10-24T21:26:57.098-05:002013-10-24T21:26:57.098-05:00The weather centre has another good article for th...The weather centre has another good article for the upcoming winter...<br /><br />http://theweathercentre.blogspot.com/2013/10/final-2013-2014-winter-forecast.html<br /><br />bemakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-89962518491270510022013-10-23T21:52:50.154-05:002013-10-23T21:52:50.154-05:00There is a lot of disagreement among models right ...There is a lot of disagreement among models right now pertaining to next week. GFS seems most favorable for snow-lovers right now, but ECMWF is somewhat favorable- <br /><br />The ECMWF- seems to develop the storm later, pushes the high to the north further south, brings in some snow (144hrs) but not much, and the High then collapses(180hrs). After, the low that has survives hovers near the gulf, and then rockets up to the north with the high now dissipated(216hrs). Very Halloween-blizzard-esque, but Wisconsin would receive the brunt of it.<br /><br />UKMET- similar to ECMWF, but keeps the high and strengthens it (144hrs). The model cuts off, but from prior experience, I am guessing it would batter the gulf and do nothing here. <br /><br />GFS- More of the “Get snow now” and not later. Gives us a very good shot of snow<br /> (132 hrs), and high pressure remains after and pushes low off to East before the low can come back up (174hrs).<br /><br />NAM- not in range yet<br /><br />JMA- High pressure stays north, so does snow, and for that matter, the rain.<br /><br />GEM- Spits the wave- first low overshoots us to the north, second one undershoots us and nails lacrosse<br />bemakinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-3438553663008019922013-10-23T18:13:35.722-05:002013-10-23T18:13:35.722-05:00Interesting catch @Big Daddy, though it does menti...Interesting catch @Big Daddy, though it does mention that things appear to be warmer than what occurred with the Halloween Blizzard.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905775514055182861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-78414313226910438812013-10-23T17:31:26.941-05:002013-10-23T17:31:26.941-05:00Wow, reading this afternoons NWS discussion they p...Wow, reading this afternoons NWS discussion they paint the possibility of a pretty dynamic weather scenario setting up in the middle of the country next week and even reference the Halloween Blizzard characteristics that might occur with severe weather and winter weather.
