Same here. Lot less risk with these at our latitude....I hate s streamers....its not a matter of whether or not there out limiting factors, but how many. Sky is the limit for us with N stream, though the likelihood is tempered some by the lack of a PNA.
I may feel differently from about central CT on down the coast.
This is not the NNE thread, its the January thread.
So sad to see you so confused and disoriented....hate to see that, but happens to all of us, at some point.
That is what I have been asserting once it became apparent that we were entering into this pattern...N stream dominant regimes offer large impacts at relatively short leads.
Here is the issue with the 12z to 00z trend on the EURO succinctly and sufficiently conveyed in one image....look how much more readily that SW energy joined the N stream fray on the right image (12z):
Of course, that SW energy will set up shop in @raindancewx's basement, but when we wanted it to do that in order to avoid the season crushing Grincher? Shit shot out faster than a chick out of Tip's room after he turns the light on.
That would make sense if we were referring to me sharing a cup cake on the playground, when we were both late to lunch. I'm not going to pretend to have the desire to share a damn shortwave lol
GEM was pretty close to a phase with that energy north of ME.....that just missed being a pretty epic solution. It partially dropped in, but the connection severed because it looked like the flow was too fast.
Normally I root against snow for other regions when I can't have any, but I honestly hope it works out for ski country. Been an awful start to the season and I have never been invested in this...non starter here.
N Stream dominant pattern is like an assembly line of of Canadian snipers...you never know which one will strike and when. Usually we end up focusing on the wrong wave/time frame, and before you know it....WHAM.
00z EPS was definitely more intrigued by the clipper.
I will go on record right now as saying I will be shocked if we make it through 1/23 without any decent snows......like greater than 3" type deal. One of these will produce, and it may not be the one that has the most attention.
