who's Miller ?

[striperman36]

A Meteorologist, Dr. Miller, classified Nor Easters into two Categories, now named “Miller A” and “Miller B.” Miller A storms originate near the Gulf of Mexico and propagate up the Atlantic Coastline. Miller B storms usually cross the country at higher latitudes, similar to Manitoba Maulers (below), but then redevelop a coastal low over the Atlantic Coast. Miller B’s often bring heaviest snows to the New England region.

in this graph does the length of A---------B determine the length of the storm
...because if it DOES this ONE is GIGANTIC

Raven, that's the track of the storm over time

sorta GROKED that.... but what determines the length wind speed?

[striperman36]

the track of the Low's and High's are driven, depending on the where in the atmosphere they are located, primarily by winds off of other systems. At the higher levels, the jetstreams co-mingle with system winds to produce direction.

High's flow out, low's flow in.

this next storm in the models, also appears to be extended by blocking highs in place in Canada, not going to be a significantly strong storm, 990's millibars, and not with a lot of moisture as the air in place is too cold to be significantly moisture laden. Becoming more of a trough than a cyclonic system

All could change if the jet stream moves things around a bit, though

now i understand...

they were talking about a miller a joining (combining with) the miller B
