Possible huge snow storm next week?
- Thread starter ClonesTwentyOne
- Start date
Ticket prices for tomorrow have to be crashing right now. We have a pair and may or may not go.
"So that the eternal God may be its driver, Winter Storm Kayla shall hit with winds of retched vengeance and the wicked authority to blow parts of Iowa onto Canada, so help me my Maker." Yep, good source alright
I was getting nervous about Kayla, then I saw this thread about it happening next week, I feel much better.
With the projections all over the place right now I doubt we'll really know till it gets here. Either we're going to get a lot less than expected or just dumped on, either way 1 source will claim they got it right all along while the other will backpedal and talk about how the track shifted on them overnight.
I'm not optimistic about the chances of making the game tomorrow night, even if we got the 3-4" total the talk about high winds is going to cause a lot of drifting. Probably should have pushed the guys I get tickets with to take our chances and put them on stubhub last week while there was still some decent prices and demand for them. At this point either you take your chances and go or take whatever you can get for your tickets I guess

I would rather play the grammatically correct version: Who's Lying?Let's plays a game called "Whose Lying?" Winner announced Wednesday at noon!
Such a fine line on where it's going to be above and below freezing for a chunk of the storm. Hard to predict right where that will end up being.Let's plays a game called "Whose Lying?" Winner announced Wednesday at noon!

Does that upper left one say Burlington is getting -1.8" of snow? That seems likely to be wrong to me.
the storm is so strong it will be sucking up snow from burlington and dump it other places
SOUNDINGS QUICKLY BECOME DEEPLY SATURATED B/T 03-06Z OVER
SOUTHWEST IOWA AND B/T 06-09Z FURTHER NORTH. VERY POTENT 300MB JET
PLACES IOWA IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION PROVIDING PLENTY OF DIVERGENCE
ALOFT AND UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION ACROSS THE STATE BETWEEN 06-18Z
TUESDAY. ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE...SOUNDINGS DO SUGGEST AN ABOVE
FREEZING LAYER NEAR THE SURFACE TONIGHT BUT THE FORCING WITHIN THE
DGZ IS STRONG ENOUGH TO COOL THE COLUMN AND KEEP PRECIP ALL SNOW
FOR SOUTHWEST TO CENTRAL PORTIONS OF IOWA. THE BEST CROSS SECTION

FORCING B/T 600-650MB AS WELL AS B/T 700-750MB SHOULD LEAD TO

VALUES RANGE FROM 6.0 TO 7.5 C/KM AND 50-100 MB RESPECTIVELY. THIS

THUNDERSNOW TUESDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH A WIDESPREAD 6-12 INCH BAND
IS ANTICIPATED...EXPECTING SOME ISOLATED SPOTS TO SEE NEAR 15

EAST-NORTHEAST THROUGH AMES TO IOWA FALLS/MARSHALLTOWN...AND MAYBE
AS FAR EAST AS WATERLOO. EXPECTING SNOWFALL RATES FROM 1-2 INCHES
WITH OVER 3 INCH PER HOUR RATES POSSIBLE TUESDAY MORNING.

Let's plays a game called "Whose Lying?" Winner announced Wednesday at noon!
Is it a lie when someone predicts the outcome of a football game and gets it wrong? These are highly educated guesses. Nothing more.
Obviously it isn't a lie. They do a better job than any of us.
JUST LET ME HAVE SOME FUN!
I assume you already know by now, but I just heard about 40% of flights out of Denver have been cancelled. Storm hasn't even hit here yet though.
Or the technically correct game of "Who's prediction is correct?"
It's only lying if they know the answer and are saying something else. People are so weird - yeah, the weatherman actually knows that your house is only going to get 3" of snow, but he's intentionally ******* with you telling you it's going to be 6".
