40/70 Benchmark

Could have been worse....again, the PNA will kill my temp anomalies across a lot of the nation, though. January Forecast Temperature Composite: Temperatures should be near normal to 1 degree above across northern New England, 1-3 degrees above normal in central and southern New England, and 2-3 degrees above in the mid atlantic. Any storm activity will entail large precipitation type issues near the coast, with the most snow reserved for northern New England. The RNA pattern should only strengthen, as overall storm activity wanes. January Forecast Precipitation Composite: A lull in winter for the northeast, especially below the latitude of northern New England and east of New York state, should develop during the month, as storms becomes less frequent and the predominate track shifts inland. Some seasonal cold bouts should be sufficient for some mountain snow, and perhaps some "front end" wintery precipitation further to the south.

I'll bet it's close, though.

At least my January lull call has worked out. We are going at least a month between major events.

Not doubting the potential one bit moving forward, but I'm seeing a about a three week period beginning on 1/15 that is likely to define this winter. Heading into it with innumerable bundles of energy is not optimal IMHO. Maybe it works out, and I hope it does. This looks to me like a high stakes pattern that will either deliver a truly high end event(s), or less than what most are expecting.

Very true.

Not sure what happened, think I accidentally deleted that last post. Lol Anyway, yea.....sick to death of the hype and waiting. Its mid winter and I've had one warning event. Anthony didn't do anything wrong, but I'm just done with the "240hr Euro was close", at this point. At least add some analysis. Its not like I personally insulted him, so some need to grow a pair.

Piss off-

There are 903 SWs in the flow at any given time, so every run is "close"...no one cares unless it's inside 5 days. Keep that crap in the NYC thread. It's like seeing a brick in basketball, and consoling yourself about how "close" it was....90% of the bricks are close; who cares.

I still think Feb will turn unfavorable....if I'm wrong, I'm wrong....its me painting myself into a corner, not you.

Likewise.

Point is its congruent with what had always been believed to be the onset of the very favorable period.

Outside shot of a storm at the end of the one week period that I just mentioned. What is your malfunction??

A week from today is 1/13.

Outside shot at Tuesday, but doubt it. Probably mid month...AWT.

It's not worth your time, bud.

Not a bad time to check out for a week and peruse alternate endeavors, before coming back refreshed and ready to rock. This next week is a lost cause.

Days and days of snow for tenths and tenths of inches.

In the mean time, watch Cohen's youporn channel on twitter starring the polar vortex.

Check back in this weekend.

Lmao I use a board now

Regardless of whether or not you swipe, I strongly recommend a snowboard, since you don't risk measuring pre existing depth.

Well, its certainly not wrong, as major airports do it. Again, snow removal crews are concerned with snowfall, not total depth. I've said before, they aren't waiting 2 days to clear a 40" snowfall so that they can have the luxury of tackling the lesser 35" storm depth.

You aren't getting snow this wknd.

I guess what irritates me most about the SSW is that there is far too much hype around it considering the level of uncertainty. Everybody wants to cyber-spank it to pretty pictures of the temperature at 63,347 feet up, but no one wants to be accountable when nothing happens at the surface. I'm sorry, but if you forecast a severe NE winter (this is a general statement, not directed at anyone) and a SSW occurs that has relatively little impact at the surface, then your forecast is still a failure. Anyone who can't handle that probably shouldn't engage in seasonal forecasting.

I'm mainly waiting on the N stream mid month. It needs to be a very special system for me to get pumped up for a s streamer....its always just a matter of how many limiting factors there are with those because there is always at least one.
