This cold snap achieved one thing. SSTs dropped 2-3F in the past week. Every degree matters on the coast.  Good Harbor (Gloucester) is down to 41F.

Snowfall to date in CT. I'm going to attempt to make a SNE map for the first time for this as well. We'll see how that goes. Reports are from here, cocorahs and official climo sites. 

Next to it is where we were last year at this time, 8 days later to be exact. 

Eerily similar.

Next week looks like has mid atlantic written all over it.

Only thing better than a toaster is watching mid atlantic take SNE weenie's snow. 

 

Thanks…heading to the store to load up on bread, milk, and booze now. 

Happy 19th anniversary of one of the good ones that helped shaped me into being the weather weenie I am today.

Does Friday clear out and shoot to 55F+. Half day of work and hoping to enjoy it. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em I guess.

So a warm cold rain instead of just plain warm rain.  

For this reason, this got me. Nearly spit out my coffee.

We got slammed here in Buffalo 70-85” this week in hardest hit areas, 76” here 

Looks like Feb 2015 here. Those were the days.

Can’t wait for the PNA spike to spike a rusty coat hanger  into my bum with more rain. 

If you’re current on your tetanus shots, just enjoy it.  Maybe we catch a break. I’m traveling Feb 4-9, so let’s get it in before then.

Just for fun. A last second shortwave dives out of Canada and builds HP behind it

Only 10 more days to go!  Tip has been honking about a 1/30 signal. 

When I hear ice storm from DIT, my eyes glaze over in the same manner as when I hear about severe from Wiz during the warm season.

Yeah, he’s pretty much nailed it to this point. I’m also not sure I’d call a 5-10 day window a “pattern change”, more like a transient favorable period. And of course, without fail, and predictably, we managed to get the most mundane outcome out of said period.

I’ve had gas last longer than 5-10 days. Nothing a match or two couldn’t fix. 
 

Let’s see if we can score a point or two with the clock running out in a less than favorable look. 

All of a sudden I have a hankering for Chinese.

28F and dim sun here too.

Nah, its great conversation and interesting food for thought. Will be interestig to see if the multi decedal signal flips back in the coming years, as it has in the past.

We’ll be telling our grandkids about living through the lean snow years of the 2020s…

the last time we collectively melted down it led to a disappearing Pope and snow on snow in a lot of New England.  What will the next 2 weeks bring?  

A GOA low and Baringer running in to punt Feb?!

I’m approaching the point of the season where I was at Week 6 with the 2023 NE Patriots. Might as well tank it and hope for draft picks. Add another regression deposit to the bank. 

Ha, I booked Rochester, NY. 

Looks like we took a step back overnight. And man, the end of the 6z GFS looks like a springtime map. CONUS on fire with New England the only cold (and dry) spot. 
 

Perhaps a sneaky DD or two next week while we straddle the boundary with temps shooting into the 50s for those potential DD days. That’s about as much as we can hope for at this point. 

Fire up the February 2024 thread!  We’re done here.

12”+ from Central  Connecticut to Central Maine with lollis to 20”

 

 

And no coastal taint. I don’t think I’ve had an all snow event of 4+ in at least a few years.

Ops will op. The key will be to keep this look and not see a trend north. Ensembles are all over 

Agree. I’d feel better from Dendrite land on north.  We will see how this shakes out. Eventually things will need to break in our favor to balance out. 

I know we’re all jaded, but that 18z GFS run was pure winter for SNE north. Snowy overrunning system Wed. More snow Friday. Another pulse late weekend/Mon. Then the Arctic hounds are unleashed. I don’t know how the GEFS look…but that was a nice OP run.

Why can't folks see this?

They’re the same folks that reply all to yell at the people who previously replied all. Despicable if you ask me.

snowflakes with dim sun right now.....thus begins days and days, lol (28°/13°)

Stay safe. May the bust, if any, be in your favor.

Everyone complaining about below average snowfall would not last one winter in the south...


I have been here 3 weeks and feel spoiled from the 13" of snow I have gotten so far considering I could potentially total out by the end of January with more snow than I have seen in my ENTIRE 29 YEARS OF EXISTENCE (18.5") if the 24th is a thumper, just my perspective

I spent 2016-2017 in NOVA. We had 1” of SLEET in mid March that winter. That’s it. That was the winter.  After that, I moved to the Mid Atlantic of Massachusetts. Cape Ann. 2014-2015 was my last good winter. It’s been a decade of regression for me. 
 

The 12z GFS man HP would save next week. Either get us on the cold side or blast through with the warmth. No straddling the line with 38F rain/drizzle. 

Friday is a miss. Next week features 40s and rain. Maybe NNE ski slopes can avoid the worst.

Yea, well...I average over 60" and haven't sniffed that since 2017-2018.

I average about 50” here. A little over a quarter of that last winter. Same so far this winter. But hey, at least Saturday’s high tide destroyed a 100 year old sea wall in town, flooding a neighborhood.
