Epic game for Blues tonight. Was at game and even we didn’t understand why Getzlaf was yapping at the ref. Boys looked great and I’ve decided that Blues fans will happily sing anything. Bring on the frozen stuff.n
Agreed. I was a little disappointed with the first period. I thought we pretty much dictated play, and to come out 1-1 when Bortuzzo really had the Ducks' best scoring chance for 3/4 of the period left me a little uneasy. I thought it just might be "one of those nights". 2nd and 3rd periods were dominant. We're a fun team to watch, even with Tarasenko and Blais (and Parayko) on the sidelines. That's scary. Top it off with Marchand whiffing on a shootout attempt, and it was a great night. I wonder if he cried...
The fact that they are doing so well without Tarasenko, Blais and Parayko says volumes. Imagine if they were healthy! LGB!

I absolutely love #91...have two shirts and a Jersey along with other items. With that said, I can't help but notice that they are perhaps a better overall team at times without him. That says nothing to his ability, effort, etc., but rather to the other guys knowing they have to step up and not rely on him.
These are the golden years of St. Louis Blues hockey!

I agree. As a forty year fan of the Blues, these are exciting times. All hail the Chief!

Imagine if Tarasenko comes back 100%(plz don’t play anything less or injuries will happen) during round 1 of playoffs and everyone still realizes how well they can play!?!? That combination will be awesome to watch if it can happen!

BUT... there is no denying the excitement this team brings to the ice and this city. We already had something special last year... how about somethingS super special... like two or three cups in a row? This is the kind of team that could pull that off if they stay healthy.

And yes... I will try and work up a new thread in the next day or two. Working on a couple big projects at work this week... which is the reason I was not on the morning show Monday.

The Blues are playing with house money. The Stanley Cup curse is over and now they can play relaxed and with confidence. It's amazing how well a team can play when the stress is off. Enjoy the ride if you're a fan because the window of opportunity is small in the world of pro sports. Remember the "greatest show on turf"? It was a three year window.

And the team that dethroned the "Greatest Show on Turf", is still on top of that Throne, until Brady retires...lol

12z nam is cold enough, but drives most of the WAA precip north of the metro. A glancing blow for some.

Yes , I just saw that, I like the temps not the precipitation. The NAM has really struggled until the 24-36 hour range then it seems to have done well in the short term.

One thing I always like to look at with these set ups Is the surface temps, dew points and wind direction (hopefully north east)

I actually had to turn off 101.1 last night when they started talking about possibly having home ice advantage through the conference finals. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

12z nam is cold enough, but drives most of the WAA precip north of the metro. A glayncing blow for some. Not really a fan of ice. Sleet is fine but it was never going to be a snowstorm. So im good with less precip.

GFS still shows early Friday morning start. Definitely some dry air to fight through at onset.

12z Icon has the solution that would do the most damage across the region. It also has a well developed deformation zone snow that hits part of the area.

12z Icon has the solution that would do the most damage across the region. It also has a well developed deformation zone snow that hits part of the area. GFS is on an island spotting the surface low in central IA. All 3 globals are in northern MO and south. ICON the most amped. EDIT: When does UKIE run?

Wouldn’t a dry air fight lend its self to a sleet situation via wet bulb?

So far the morning models hold the course , no real surprises . It looks like we could go from a brief period of snow to sleet to freezing rain then over to plain rain Friday afternoon. Most models have it around 32 late afternoon (4-6pm) with a dew point near 30. Most models are are showing .30-.50” of liquid precipitation before change over to rain occurs. It would be nice to see an earlier start to the precipitation.

The GFS has maybe 0.4" of so of frozen precipitation.

Post by landscaper on Jan 14, 2020 10:50:54 GMT -6
Yes , sometimes the dry air/northeast wind (cold feed) will help prolong the frozen precipitation. This along with having a much lower dew point to start helps keep things going.

We can’t see precip and cold at the same time! And when it happens, it’s such a brief time!

NWS this morning leaning towards more snow, less mix Fri morning, with 1-2 inches of snow..then 1-2 inches of rain, lol, snippet:
The wave that moves across the Midwest on Wednesday will continue eastward and amplify into a deep trough off the East Coast. This amplification will allow cold, dry air from the north to continue pushing into the mid Mississippi Valley. Highs Thursday look to be at least 25 degrees colder than Wednesday`s. However, the amplified pattern still looks progressive with another strong trough moving from the West Coast across the Rockies late Thursday into Friday. Models show warm advection from the approaching wave beginning to produce precip over the mid Mississippi Valley between 06-12Z Friday morning. Latest model runs are somewhat cooler than previous runs and therefore have more snow and less mixed precip Friday morning...changing over to rain from late Friday morning into the afternoon with little in the way of sleet/freezing rain during the transition. GFS forecast soundings show a very pronounced dry layer below 850mb at the beginning of the event which as it saturates offsets warm advection with evaporative cooling, resulting in a fairly deep isothermal layer which stays below zero across most of the area until surface temperatures warm above freezing in the afternoon. GEFS surface and 850mb temperature plumes still show about a 10 degree spread between the warmest and coldest solutions centered right around 0C. This translates to a lot of uncertainty in the precip forecast...although the 75th percentile is on the cool side of 0C so most solutions support the cooler forecast.
Once the precip turns to rain it should stay all liquid until it ends Saturday. There will be a strong moisture feed with a direct connection to the Gulf of Mexico ahead of the trough. Moderate to possibly heavy rain is possible and confidence is increasing in 1-2 inches of liquid between Friday morning and Saturday afternoon when the cold front associated with this storm pushes through the area. This could cause renewed/exacerbate existing flooding from the heavy rainfall we had a few days ago. Sunday and Monday continue to look tranquil but cold as a strong Arctic high moves into the Plains and Midwest.

12z ukmet is like the nam. Misses most of the metro with frozen precipitation to the north, then warms up and brings rain
