It looks like above normal after this next week, but that pattern shown on the ensembles seems like it would be prone to cold shots and probably some winter wx chances mixed in despite the overall being AN. The EPO ridge is still in place...it never reverts to an AK vortex.

The event of the season - 2 days of hell!
ORH_wxman replied to Go Kart Mozart's topic in New England
The snow cover line is not that far north of the pike either...it's not like this is advecting off of 200 miles of bare ground. -
Pretty sure that doesn’t qualify as “winter event”
-
-34C at BOS. Meh.
-
We had like 50F and rain 36 hours after that epic Feb 2016 cold shot. Hell, remember late Jan 94? I think we went from 0F to 50F in 12 hours. Actually I know you remember it because I recall you telling the story of that day’s progression…started with 4F needles and ended with steaming snow banks and fog.
-
You may be right. One of them had a trace and other was like 0.1” or something hilarious. Can’t remember which was which. I’ll have to look it up later.
-
Seems to happen a lot in the shit winters. Exception might be 2011-12…but even in that one we had a front ender in early March that dropped a few inches which ruined futility records in spots.
-
Though it would be kind of funny to see BOS get a high temp below 0F
-
Ugh…that better not verify unless we get some snow before it. Bare ground and -10 temps for many.
-
2.8 is their lowest in NYC…same winter ‘72-73. It was DCA that only got a trace that winter. edit: ninja’d by dendrite
-
ORH is at 17.2 currently so they can’t finish at 16.
-
Ray would punt a 20-burger if others got 40”.

Feb 1989 gave me PTSD as a young weenie. First all the cold/dry then cutter…and then the 2/24-25 monster bust.
-
We haven’t had a really good arctic airmass during mid-winter since Jan 2019. We had a pretty good run from 2014-2019 with arctic airmasses but it’s been nada since then.
-
I’m all-in for the Ginxy 2/5-6 storm
-
What about 1/21/19? That day had a high of 1F at ORH. Coldest max temp since Jan 1994.
-
I might throw in the towel too if I had a trace of snow through January.

The Jan 1957 cold outbreak was the coldest temp on record at both ORH airport and at BOS Logan airport. Their previous cold records were at different locations that probably radiated better. The Feb 2016 cold outbreak was the coldest temps at each location since the 1957 outbreak. But yeah, toss that -56…not credible. It isn’t recognized officially anyway. I think the state record is -40 in 1984.

Yeah winter hill is basically in Holden. About 200 yards past the top of the hill is the Worcester/Holden line. There’s often a big gradient across the city from the northern/northwestern part and the rest of the city. But sometimes it’s more drastic and this is one of those times where it looks like two different climates
-
It is definitely frustrating to go like 4-5 seasons in a row below climo. But yeah, we had it coming. Between 2012-2013 and 2017-2018 (6 seasons), 5 of them were above climo for BDL. Only 2015-16 was below.

Full snow cover on winter hill in ORH....go about 2 miles away and 300-400 feet lower and it's wiped almost totally clean. Crazy.
-
Yeah there's a reasonable chance at something next week...whether it's just a crap C-2" event or something more significant can't be determined. But I do think we'll have multiple shots starting with 1/31-2/1....and prob going all the way through 2/8ish. Hopefully one of them is real...I'd enjoy a 2" event more if we already had a good pack....but otherwise give me a warning event.
-
Lack of cold too is pretty awful this year....esp for January. December 2015 was an epic furnace, but at least January was within shouting distance of seasonal (like +2 on temps)....unlike this year where we're gonna finish top 5 warmest. For snow though....yeah, 2015-16 was worse to this point up in the pike region...southern half of CT though caught the northern chunk of the blizzard while we had a few inches of arctic sand.
