Thread: The big picture

Thanks asheanmt for posting this in the main forum. So great it needs it's own thread here.



And another one animated/looped- (thank you Fear of a flat planet)

Here is another link. It is actually the big picture. It might take a while to load since it's so large.
Link for water vapor. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/weus/loop-wv.html
Link for Colorado vs Utah. http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northrockies_loop.php

It looks like we got ourselves a convoy.

even more interesting. this below is a gif i just created from the next 384 hours forecast for precipitation probability of 2mm or more. note how at the end of the cycle the model kind of breaks up and becomes incoherent. still, though, it shows the big one passing off to the south:

Who are you talking to? Nobody has said anything, we're just posting radar mosaics. Don't be so paranoid, schizo. Nice graphs.

well, if these are the same graphs our local tv weather personality uses then they mean nothing. that fuckers never right.

**good stuff though. keep the graphs/radar/etc coming.

Lotta shit swirling 'round in th Pacific.

maybe if we bump it to the top

edit for "ahhhh there it is, back on the front page (the only page apparently)"
now if we can just get those mountain cam mosaics back on the front page

bump, because this forum is fucked up, has no page 2, and I look at this a lot.

yeah, this forum would be useful if we got a couple threads pinned for east and west weather.

surprised that has not happened already

this should be sticky

Bumping this to the top.

f2f = buzzkill. Seriously brah - get a bigger butt-plug.

I watch these damn maps every day. I was soooo fucking stoked to see the recent change in which these systems moving out of Japan were coming straight for us instead of over us. Looks like its following the same pattern as last year. Nothing but snow and freezing temps in the forecast from late Monday on though the rest of the week.

The family quiver has been waxed multiple times....
Ash's new skins are cut and her new BD boots are due to arrive any day now.....
Backpack is packed and ready to go......
Beacons have fresh batteries and are in good working order........

Its so close I can taste it!

really, that's great news! I have been taking a break from those maps for a while now...thinking that my constantly checking them was affecting the flow. From my observations last yr, it seemed like when those storms started rolling in from Siberia was when we really got wallopped.
Did your wife get the BD Shiva's by chance. I'm interested in a review if that's the case.

^^^ Shiva indeed. Will post a review once they come in.

Perhaps another late October/early November San Juan pounding is in order?

Well then feast your eyes on the big bastard of a storm making its way out of Siberia right this moment.

I can see Russia in that map!

I like it when they take the shape of something across the pacific...like a brain or a giant sperm or something!

all I see is potential

bump for a great line up

Thats the sickest page ever! its my new homepage....
