Where is everyone going for thanksgiving? i'm going to spend it home with my family.

Staying here in Long Beach with my girlfriend    It'll be our first independent Thanksgiving together. We live too far away from any of our relatives and we are also short on money to be driving 300 miles away to see them 

Same here. Most of my family is separated though I sure wish I could be with my extended family. I'm spending Thanksgiving with my regular family.

46.4°F Partly Cloudy

Ridiculous to see that the OKX radar has been out for 10 days now and won't be expecting it to be back online until the first week of December.

General Weather Chat / Re: Record Low Arctic Sea Ice Extent Possible Soon

« on: November 16, 2012, 10:12:56 PM »

Yet around Antarctica, ice is growing.   

That's nothing I would be concerned about. The amount that the arctic is loosing is no where near where how much the antarctic is gaining. Some research has been done with this and one of the possible explanations for this is an increased amount of precip around Antarctica, leading to more snowpack which could allow for more sea ice. There are a wide variety of theories for it. But, in no ways what so ever should AGW be contradicted just because the antarctic is gaining some ice, compared to the arctic at loosing ice at record low levels.

Seems like a typical winter day. Trees are bare, ground is brown, skies are filled with altostratus clouds.

Jesse, I wouldn't panic yet.  This system could very easily move further offshore like the Euro solution shows and not affect you.  The Euro is the better model here over the GFS for this far out in the forecast.  Furthermore, we're talking 216 hours away from this scenario, and a lot could change between now and then.

Just because it's more reliable doesn't mean it should always be trusted. It did good with Sandy compared to the GFS, but lets remember how bad the ECMWF did with Debby earlier in the year, in which the GFS dominated.

Currently the HPC is preferring the GFS in the late period:
BY DAY 5/FRI THE 00Z GFS BECOMES FASTER THAN
THE 00Z ECMWF/CANADIAN WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT TROUGH QUICKLY
FOLLOWING.  GIVEN THE GROWING UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME FRAME...THE
PREFERENCE IS FOR THE MODEL CONSENSUS...WITH THE ENSEMBLE
SPAGHETTI DIAGRAMS FAVORING THE FASTER GFS.  A SIMILAR APPROACH IS
PREFERRED OVER THE GREAT LAKES BY NEXT WEEKEND...WITH THE 00Z GFS
BETTER SUPPORTED BY OTHER GUIDANCE COMPARED TO THE 00Z
ECMWF...WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY STRONGER WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST.  THUS...
THE PRELIMINARY PRESSURES/FRONTS WILL USE A 50/50 BLEND OF THE
GFS/ECMWF TO BEGIN THE PERIOD...THEN GRADUALLY TRANSITION TOWARD A
50/50 BLEND OF THE GEFS MEAN/ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN BY DAYS
6/7...WITH MORE DETAILS FROM THE OPERATIONAL GFS PREFERRED OVER
THE OPERATIONAL ECMWF LATE IN THE PERIOD. JAMES
